Pretty Lonely

The Super has noticed an interesting phenomenon.  I noticed the trend as I strolled through the malls, visited the theater and while I walked through the city minding my own beeswax.  For the record, I believe that even if you have a face like reggae artist Shabba Ranks or Ugly Betty when she’s feeling stank, that everyone has their own special kind of beauty.  That said, there are girls walking the streets with bellies the size of army Special Forces tanks and with faces requiring bulletproof vests.  Some of these unfortunate ones stroll the sidewalks with mugs only slightly better looking the Color Purple’s Ms. Ceily.  But Don’t Cry for them Argentina, um,  I mean New York City, because they have what many of my slim and slammin’ friends do not have – boyfriends.  These ladies despite not being pretty in the face or slim in the waist, are sauntering down the avenue hand-in-hand with boyfriends and boo’s.  My Tyra Banks look-a-likes and Naomi Campbell wannabes are at home on Saturday nights eating Ben and Jerry’s.  What’s up with that? Can someone explain? Why are the pretty girls lonely while the less-than-lovely of the world have every Friday and Saturday nights jammed with dates? Are the lovely among us more picky and particular? Are they harder to please? Is there a reason all the pretty girls are lonely? Besides discreetly advertising in popular men’s magazines like professional pretties called prostitutes, what does a pretty girl have to do to get a date?  What do you think?

    I think the answer is in the question. Pretty girls tend to be caught up and mystified by their own beauty, whereas, the so-called ugly Betty’s of the world do not have to deal with that curse/obstacle. They can simply live and let live. Think about how much time a “pretty” girl spends in dollars and time to get pretty, stay pretty, and maintain her prettiness. Now think about what else she could do with only half of that time and resources. My feeling is this, if you got it, you got it. You cannot improve on perfection.

    I will go one step further. Think about this, the incidence of skin cancers and a host of other diseases are linked to a number of the chemicals that are in hair care products, skin moisturizers, etc. Therefore, why spend your money on stuff that is not meant for you or good for you either? The truth is that no matter what you look like on the outside, what do you look like on the inside? It is easy to say I am a beautiful person, but real beauty attracts beauty because it radiates from the inside out.

    Peace

      PG, that was a well thought out reply so you obviously have a brain between your ears. Congratulations, you’re in the minority. Riddle me this though oh genius one. Isn’t saying all big girls have inner beauty as cliched and outdated as saying every hooker has a heart of gold? Haven’t we grown past these one dimensional stereotypes?

    I think all woman are beautiful in appearance. It’s what a woman is that tell you a lot about her. Like for example if she independant, confident and strong, or she can be sensitive and smart.
    Over the year the game that men play on woman like love them and leave them, have affect woman mightly to change who they really are. So that beautiful woman on the outside and inside became tarnish. So to that pretty lonely woman at home that feel she is picky, I say to you, you have every right to be picky and dont settle for less.

    I’ve just become acquainted with this website tonight and have only read two posts. Fortunately for me, I won’t be reading any more! Sadly it seems you, the writer of these posts, continuously focus on appearance; the outer shell. This mentality is what promotes women to feel they must walk around just about naked to be attractive to a man (or woman); that it’s more important what goes on the body instead of what goes into the mind & spirit. Very unfortunate! I don’t think you have a clue what being a REAL Super Sistah is all about.

      Ah, a dissenter, I love it. The thing about being Super is that you are not afraid of your own voice or the voice of others that rise in opposition. It is a weak mind that cannot take criticism, so bring it on. You read two posts you say, wow, so many? With such thorough and in depth research you’ve drawn the conclusion that the Super is all about the pretty? I hope in school you didn’t approach your homework that way. I stand by my site and its message which is that to be Super you must attempt to be the best that you can be inside and out. Overall well-being is a cultivation of the mind, body and spirit. You cannot focus on one and let the others go to the dogs. That’s my opinion. You are free to disagree. You won’t be back? Well, that’s too bad but c’est la vie.

    I think pretty women are at home alone because they simply do not know how to attract without sacrificing themselves. Men detest beauty with stank attitudes. We would rather have less-than-beautiful than be bothered with what passes for self esteem in a pretty woman (namely that attitude that she is entitled to something simply because she’s pretty). Understanding men takes real effort that too many pretty women refuse to give to any man, let alone the type they might consider “worthy”. In time, some get it and some don’t…

    Why the pretty girls got to be stank, Jerrie? Yeah I said “got to be.” So what. I count myself among the pretty and I’m not a fire breathing dragon in high heels. I’m quite civilized, gracious and down to earth. I don’t eat men for dinner nor expect them to grovel at my feet. Should you see me walking down the street should you assume that I have no home training or manners? I think not. Could it be that some men, not all, are intimidated by the pretty? Just a thought. I could be wrong. I’ll need others to weigh in.

    Oh, pretty women don’t “got to be” stank. I’m talking about that awful combination of beauty and stank attitude. I’m sure that people know the type I’m referring to. Social skills are sorely needed all over our country – I am never surprised when I encounter this combination – just disappointed. For men who think, I believe it’s all about choices. Why be bothered with beauty and stank attitude when beauty plus understanding is available??

    We can’t just say its because of just one thing, I think psychologically life, relationship or anything you do in life is like a business… Supply and Demand dictates the out come. Most of us whether a man or a woman have gained different experiences based on the exposure we have in our life and through that experience we have learn to be the way we are. We could be pretty and mean and ugly and sweet or vice verse but at the end of the day we gain what we earn. Logic/reality tells us most people are attracted to certain look on what others have. Like most females probably like tall and well built man when most males are attracted to pretty faces and nice body structure. That doesn’t mean the people who are gifted with that look are lucky, have it all, happy with their life, cocky, or anything that like most of us assume. There are a lot of unnecessary things that comes with a lot of attention and that experience could either make or break them. They are a victim of unnecessary attention, pressure and stress. That could make that specific human being to be guarded all the time and that could be the reason why most people who are attractive to the majority ended up being single.
