I can’t speak for the men-folk but perhaps, lately in recent times – there are no difference in their “self-obsession” with women. I mean, there are men out there who goes for facial, gym, wears contacts, shops for expensive branded clothes, shoes, etc…all things that women have been doing all these time.

And it got me thinking, why are women like that? Why can’t we just be happy the way we are? I mean, if we are of a larger size, we want to slim down. If we are of the slimmer size, we want to fatten up. This is especially true when we start comparing ourselves with other people. I bet you that out of 10 women, 9 would have their image changed if they were to bumped into an old friend or an acquaintance whom in their opinion looks like a sex-goddess. These women will go to extreme lengths including plastic surgeries, popping pills, starvation and even orovo detox just so that they could change what God has intended them to be. I find that so incredibly ridiculous!

OK, you might think that “sure, you probably look perfect, so bite me!” On the contrary, I am far FAR from perfect. But, I’m not going all out just so I could look like some movie star or my super “body-licious” friend. I haven’t had my hair dyed even for crying out loud. True – I’ve never dyed my hair EVER and you could still spot some greys here and there.

Well, I’m just saying – why can’t we just be who we are and accept us for who we are? I guess not isn’t it? We always strive to look a certain way because we want others to have rave reviews over us. We want to hear that “you look great!“from other women and we want to go out on dates with men (it’s just the age old theory that men are only attracted to the appearance and nothing more etc…).

It’s just that isn’t it? I mean, if opinions didn’t exists and if we were robots, operating mechanically without emotions, without the ability to think for oneself, we would do no such ridiculous act like changing. I mean, in our mechanical minds, everyone would look the same and we would not judge others and neither would we judge ourselves. Seems to be that that is such an ideal place to be but the reality is, it’s never happening. Reality does bite!
