The Tragedy of Beauty
One of our kada called me yesterday evening. There was an issue with some guy she's been seeing, so being the "hitch" doctor, I took her case. As always, I only listen, then sympathize. Yes people, that is the ONLY way to talk with a girl whenever she is feeling that way. DO NOT offer any solutions.After some half-hour of listening and exchanging some ideas as to where she is in her situation, she started rambling about this fact of life that she finds very unacceptable - that girls have to be pretty up front for guys to be attracted to them. She continuously asks me - "is this true"? I told her I would be lying if I said NO. Then here's the thing - she's asking "Why"?
IT'S BECAUSE GUYS ARE LIKE THAT. WE DIDN'T ASK TO BE LIKE THIS. WE JUST ARE.
Ask ANY guy up front - if he'd not want a pretty girl - I'll introduce you to the first liar if I hear a "NO". And what's the reason for this? It's quite simple - "It's because a guy wants to wake up in the morning with the most beautiful sight he's ever set his eyes upon".
So there, we've made our point right? Wrong! When I thought that was that, here she was rambling further -- "so how about the girls who are not as pretty as others?" I could only tell her this -- that's how it is - Beauty is not beauty per se -- it is truly the cruelty of selection. She said that if this was the case, then she feels sad.. sad because not all girls would be taken, and that it would be unfair.
At this point I wanted to laugh my ass off.. "Whoever said life is fair?"
