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?

you can only have this problem when you allow society to dictate
to you how to live your life.

But cum 2 tink of it ,y shldnt society dictate hw u liv your lyf?, all your morals/values/ disposition is based on society, d religion u find urself in is based on society so jst bcoz u feel its in your 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

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.

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.

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?
