I always thought the world would be a better place when everybody would be ugly. If looks wouldn't matter at all, i think we'd all be a lot happier. Or.. unhappy people would be happier.
Don't feel guilty because you are beautiful..it's the luck of the draw and millions of years of evolutionary meddling...good looking humans get access to more amenities and therefore humans try to produce beautiful children...but when you think about it it is all just DNA arranged into more symmetrical faces and body structure.
You are too young to remember Catherine Deneuve's famous line for Chanel or something...anyway she said "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" during the height of the Feminist movement in the 70s. It is sexy to be self confident but atrocious to be conceited..it is a doable but tricky tightrope to walk.
Like it or not some people use their looks to get ahead and others use athletic abilities, brains, charm, inherited wealth...HA, if you want to hate someone hate those people who are saddled with all of those attributes! Guilt Schmilt..it's not your fault..just let people know that there is a lot more to you than looks and if they still can't handle it...TFB!
hmmm. there's so much more to beauty than looks. and it really is such a chance thing. it seems unfiar that looks play such a big part in our lives when there is nothing we do to deserve them, either way.
i wanted to tell him that he was beautiful, he's such a tender soul. but i couldn't without it being cliched, and i don't know him well enough. but my heart bleeds for him.
that comment alone makes me sad, i've heard it before from others telling me this all the time that i'm beautiful and wish they were...funny I don't see it or feel it. I guess you have to feel it inside, believing in yourself. Great post. The purpose of beauty, i'll keep the comment to myself.

False modesty is not good. ;>)
Everything is beautiful. Some details are too realistic.
jeeps - intersting thought huh. i wonder what the purpose of "beauty" is...its a weird thing
imemine - it was a guy who said it to me, believe it or not, and i havent been able to get his words out of my head...
Well, Leila, don't be intimidated. Just tell him not be so stupid.
nah, it wasn't as though he was being intimidating. it was just really heartfelt. and it wasn't directed at me per se...just into the air...

Outstanding beauty is troubling.
Most people feel more comfortable with someone averagely attractive.
rob - yeah, i guess...
