Does looks really matter?

Everytime I look into the mirror only to see that my looks aren't even comparable to some celebs, I would sigh dejectedly and ask myself why on earth I look like that. But then I asked myself, does looks really matter?

Well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. For some people, looks are very important, while for others they look for the beauty of the heart. For me, I think looks does matter, especially now that we live in a superficial world, where although we don’t always like it, those who have more appealing looks have more advantages as compared to those who are simple and not as good looking.

Look at Megan Fox for instance. Do you think that she would have all the fame and money she’s having today if not for her attractive and appealing looks? No! Celebs, actresses and artistes get all their fame and money from their outer beauty and not from having a big heart for others (at least most of them would).

Now, let’s look at Zoe Tay. Ten-twenty years ago, she was one of the prettiest actresses and was often on the cover page of magazines. She was popular because of her looks. However, after she grew older, started to have wrinkles and became a mother, she no longer had the fame she used to have. (Sorry, no offence)

Also, having bad looks may affect your self-esteem and may make you feel left out especially when you’re with people with good looks. Sometimes, you may also be discriminated due to your “different” look. And although it’s not a fair thing to do, many people choose their friends based on their looks.

Further more, it’s an undeniable fact that good looks matter greatly when choosing one’s life partner. Without good looks, one will not be able to attract the opposite sex and may have a hard time getting a life partner.

Having said all these, it doesn’t mean that personality does not matter. In fact, personality dominates looks! Unfortunately, we are living a superficial world, where justice and fairness is not always upheld. Nevertheless, you must always remember that outer beauty will vanish someday whereas the beauty of the heart is imperishable. Therefore, regardless of where you come from, how you look like, you must always believe that you are beautiful.

Wow! I'm starting to think that my looks aren't that bad at all! I just have to lose some kilos and I'll be as charming as........ Megan Fox?.........Angelina Jolie?........Na, just joking! Hahas....

Always remember, no matter what u look like, no matter where u are from, just believe in yourself and make the best of everything that you have. Be positive and who knows? a guy might just be attracted to your smile!

Good luck!
