Appearance first then inner beauty comes after.

It's simple the more attractive you are the more attention you get.

appearance first? inner beauty second? seems to me you're standing reason on its head.

@ poster

"Tooshing" up one's face or body is part of civilization.

Your question should have been "why did we go to school"

or " why didn't we remain monkeys - homosapiens"

well, i am one of the fortunate people who look fantastic with simple white powder and colourless lip balm, so i wont say im under any pressure to look good.
needless to say, the society dictates the norm but come to think of it, who makes the society, its u and me, so what are we saying here?

It's because they have nothing to worry about.

you can only have this problem when you allow society to dictate
to you how to live your life.
Re: Why Is Society So Obsessed With Looks? by Joseph6(m): 3:34am On Jul 26, 2009
But cum 2 tink of it ,y shldnt society dictate hw u liv ur lyf?, all ur morals/values/ disposition is based on society, d religion u find urself in is based on society so jst bcoz u feel its in ur power 2 modify evrytin doesnt mean d society wnt still dictate coz d society is U. As for man's obsession wit beauty,can't say i'm unhapi abt it coz its a gud fing, only if it cld take our minds away 4rm corruption
Re: Why Is Society So Obsessed With Looks? by GeorgeD1(m): 5:35pm On Jul 26, 2009
not necessarily my brother. i've always been a non-conformist from childhood and i like
bucking the crowd. and that includes what 'society' thinks as regarding beauty.
Re: Why Is Society So Obsessed With Looks? by Joseph6(m): 4:47am On Jul 27, 2009

Ladies go for breast enlargement,take all kinds of drugs,use bleaching cream and go almost naked just to please or impress men.It should not be so.You are beautifully and wonderfully made.
Re: Why Is Society So Obsessed With Looks? by GeorgeD1(m): 11:08am On Jul 27, 2009
you can certainly stand out by being yourself. if there is a crowd of half dressed
girls trying to please men and only one lady decides to be sensible and dresses
right. guess who will stand out then?

Society wise, It is deemed unnatural immoral rude too direct unfeminine less funny when a woman make the proposal to a male. So women are left to one choice-:in order to pressurize the male to consider; to contribute the meeting and mating process ; and compete with their fellows for love and attention/attraction: " their looks". Hence the emphasis on looks. u may be any thing educated intelligent accomplished,  but u will be noted most and first by your looks by men and women. This is cos of the corruption that is in the world through lust as the bible has said . If u are aware and can recall in the movie s*x and the city- one of the female characters did say that u wont find an accomplished man unmarried/unattached but u will find an accomplished woman unmarried/unattached.
Re: Why Is Society So Obsessed With Looks? by GeorgeD1(m): 3:45pm On Mar 19, 2010
so the lewd dressing is an indirect invitation to 'mate'?
