I thought the article was very interesting. The second I saw that a Danish guy
wrote it, I gave my full attention (isn't that weird?). What Mads writes about didn't come as surprise to
me, I have heard about these studies before and it actually makes a lot of sense. Instinctively there are some people who seem more attractive than others. Of course I do believe that society and culture has made an impact of how one views beauty, but really its about survival. It is sad in a way that people who feel less attractive will most likely not be "successful" and I question that. I know some people who honestly are not what the average person would put in the category of "beautiful" or maybe even "good looking" BUT they feel like they are beautiful and therefore they have the confidence and all the things the so called pretty people attain like good relationships, well-payed jobs and people who admire them. So isn't it really about how one FEELS about themselves? I mean, I know the study shows that scientifically pretty people have it easier but I do really think that it depends on how one feels about themselves. I have always wondered why it was hot for a girl to have big ass boobs, a tiny waste and a good amount of butt? Alright I get the boobs- room for milk to feed a baby BUT how does the waste then fit in? Aren't you supposed to look like you can carry a child? Why aren't big boned girls considered hot? They are the ones who actually have the strength to carry lots of children.. no? I think it is sad that we live in a time where body image is everything. Either your too fat, too skinny, too this or that. NOT EVERYONE IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE BEYONCE. It is okay to look the way you do, as long your healthy and happy. Honestly. I think this article is interesting because I can make sense of why people think certain things are attractive but after that, I found myself starting to question if I was considered beautiful..? and then I realized that I feel beautiful, and thats all that matters.
