I Challenge Your Concept of Beauty

And yet for many it is so important!
As I have moved across the world, the way my looks are perceived has changed, even when those looks stayed the same and as my body has changed over the years, the way I am perceived has changed even...

I believe that anyone can be attractive. I think the standards of todays world are so wrong, that they've found a "perfect" model that most females try to achieve and most fail and are miserable. I'm targeting females specifically...

Wow I am feeling abnormally courageous today so here goes:

Yes I do challenge the stereotypical concept of beauty. All my life I have been told that I am far from being beautiful and it has crushed me. And as a result my self...

"Beautiful" is an adjective...and all adjectives are not only subjective, but relative terms. I hate people who try and characterize beauty. How can you try and put down parameters for something so fluid, so natural? I truly...

I wouldn’t even be the “world’s sexiest man” if the planet were populated entirely by my clones.

I'm definitely not a "conventional" beauty. I'm strangely put-together, and no matter how hard I try to get in shape, I stay fat. So, yes, I definitely challenge the mainstream idea of beauty.

One thing that I've noticed about discussions on the Concept of Beauty is their similarity to political discussions. Seriously, just substitute a few words and the two types of discussions are equivalent in their ferocity and the...

Danny is an affluent middle-aged gay man who covets youth and beauty above all else. We have a mutual friend in common, which is how I ended up at his New Year’s Eve party.Danny introduced us to two young Irish guys: “This is...

It doesn't happen to everyone so I'm not generalizing, but where do a lot of people get their baseline idea of beauty? Magazines, pageants, commercials etc. Sadly, all those that don't look like the people in society's mirror, are...

I challenged my notions of beauty, well more accurately the notions ingrained in me from a very young age. As I have said before in other groups here it was/is important for women in my family to have long hair, less so now, some...

at my chool, the girls wear the same styled clothes, the same hair do's and the same type of makeup. cake face pumpkin skin and high skirts till you see their undies. its lame. they are all the same people to me because they changed...
