WEEK 10:
BEAUTY WITH THE BRAIN
BEAUTY WITH THE BRAIN
Beauty or Brains?
Have you ever wondered why guys only choose to date the
girls that are either brainless, or have a completely fake personality? Well, I
think that the answer remains questioned. Most guys go after the “hot blondes,”
not really caring about their personality, and only their looks. I think that
this issue causes three main problems. For one, it makes some girls feel
insecure, or not “pretty” enough. Two, it gives girls a label on what they
should and should not look like. And lastly, it tells girls that we need to
reach a high expectation to be good enough.
As we know, the world is not perfect. However, we also live
in a very judgmental world. Today, girls are constantly judged on their facial
features, they eye and hair color, their body, and more. When guys choose the
girls with not only no brain, but a horrible personality, it shows what kind of
guy that person really is. Not only is it a shallow act on the guy’s part, but
it also offends the girls. When girls see that guys are not going to be
interested unless you meet certain expectations, they tend to change their
features to meet others expectations. Things such as dying hair and acting dumb
are two things that girls do just to get guy’s attention, knowing that they
will not even notice them unless they act that way. Because of all these
horrendous acts, girls are influenced to change themselves to the way others
would rather them look like.
All throughout magazine’s, girls are shown what they should
and should not look like. For instance, have you ever seen an overweight person
on the cover of a magazine? This example is why so many girls are self
conscious, because they are not only constantly judged by everyone around them,
but also by guys. I think that guys play a major part in why girls sometimes do
not feel pretty enough. For one, most guys do not talk to the girls that they
do not feel are up to their “standards.” In most cases, personality is the last
thing that even matters. Most guys only care about the outside appearance. Even
though they say that they look for sweet, beautiful girls, they tend to go for
the brainless fake girls instead. Even though guys might say that they want
sophisticated girls that are intelligent and sweet, they usually don’t keep
their word. Unfortunately, girls cannot control the looks they are born with,
but it is also up to them weather to change themselves just for the benefit of
guys.
Having high expectations is not only rude, but it is also
making girls be something they are not. If a guy truly liked a girl, he would
accept the way she was and not ask her to change. Even though magazines show
that we are supposed to look thin, with perfect hair and a perfect body, girls
cannot be perfect no matter how hard we try. Even though on the surface, a girl
may act like they are comfortable with being someone who they aren’t, they
would much rather be accepted the way they are without someone asking them to
change just to be accepted. Even though they will not admit it, they would much
rather have boys ask them to stay exactly who they are. Sometimes it is
difficult for a guy to admit that they would rather have a clueless attractive
girl than an average intelligent one. However, if the world only depended on
outer appearances, how would problems such as racism or discrimination ever be
solved?
I believe that judging girls from their outer appearance is
wrong as well as insulting. The next time a guy thinks about rejecting an
intelligent girl, I think that they should think about what will end up
happening in the long run. If judging continues, it think that not only will
girl’s self esteem continue to drop, but that they will never feel good enough,
even though they cannot change what they were given. I also think that guys
should be able to step up and know that judging girls is wrong, and it will
only continue to affect girls in a negative way in the long run.
