this is the perect answer

I dont find that its about race or gender on the outside, so much as it is what a persons emits from the inside


I dont necessarily get impressed with people TRYING to impress everywhere they go,, really,, if you are just grocery shopping or working out or running to walmart, whats the point of glamming up?


if you are on a professional job, or going on a date, or to a live show,,, yeah,, doll it up a bit,,,


there is a time and place for everything, Im more impressed with people that are confident enough to adjust to the situation and not feel obligated to always be physically perfect ,,,

Dodo_David...Thanks for posting the photo. You and Radiance both look great! And very happy together. Nice!!

I have been told, since I was a kid, that I look like an absent-minded professor. Here is a news flash- I am an absent-minded professor!

No matter how old you are, you can still put some effort into your appearance. I may not be young and beautiful anymore, but I can still be dignified. I can still maintain my weight. I can still get a quality haircut. I can still shine my shoes.

What it takes to look your best....is to actually care to groom.

The synopsis of good looking women is Utopian...but far from accurate.

Some people are just f 'n ugly.

Every breed has lazy apathetic slobs. Male and female...to pretend that a chick is beautiful just because she is white, black, Asian...don't fly with me.

Even the pretty ones can be complete b!*itches.

Personally....I like to be well dressed. I like making all the other dudes look like crap. If a little extra attention to detail means I can compete with the guys in jeans and t -shirt...GREAT!

A woman who thinks she is beautiful just because she exists is badly mistaken ...you ain't doing them any flavors by saying.....Asians are this and blacks are that...they ain't.

Thank you. You might be surprised if you knew just how Radiance became my daughter, but that is a different topic.

I'd like to hear how Radiance became your daughter!

I have been told, since I was a kid, that I look like an absent-minded professor. Here is a news flash- I am an absent-minded professor! Most of the women in my life have bought my clothes and would even pick them out for me and tell me to go shave, comb my hair, etc. So do clean-up well. Appearance is also a good reflection of personality, however there are a lot of people who look outwardly, but inwardly stink.

If you want to know that story, then send me a private message, and I'll direct you to a webpage that contains the story.

Folks, my OP is in part a jab at the cosmetics industry. It is the only industry that I can think of that survives by telling women that they aren't beautiful just the way they are. I wanted to tell certain women that they don't need cosmetics in order to be beautiful.

No, it isn't the cosmetic industry that tells us we aren't beautiful the way we are; its men. I have been told countless time that I wasn't good looking enough by men. The cosmetic industry just cashes in on the insecurity that was caused by guys telling us this.

Then that makes my OP much more important, because in it I make an opposing argument.
