So do we really believe the beauty comes from within? I certainly think it does, however outer beauty seems to be almost just as powerful as inner beauty. Just a little question, how much time and money do you spend on your outer beauty? How much time and money do you spend on your inner beauty?
I can bet you that there is a big difference between the two. Despite the idea that inner beauty is more important, women show what we really feel is important by where we invest most of our time and money. We know deep down inside that outer beauty is very important. And in some cases, it is more important than inner beauty.
For example, have you noticed that a mistress catches less flack if she is actually attractive? I remember the way the public reacted to Tiger Woods’ mistresses as opposed to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mistress. Tiger’s mistresses were generally an attractive group of women, some of which were more attractive than his wife. But in Arnold’s case, his mistress was not perceived to be very pretty. The public seemed to be more upset with Arnold’s mistress than they were with Tiger’s. Even when it comes to Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, the public seems to be much more accepting of Brad leaving Jennifer because he left her for a prettier woman. Do you see how the beauty of a woman makes a difference in the way she is perceived?
We all subconsciously place much more value on beauty than we may have noticed. How many times has a woman looked at a man walking with is ugly girlfriend/wife (or mistress), and said, “I don’t know what he sees in her. She’s not even pretty.” Or “Why would he want her over me? She isn’t even as pretty as I am.” We all have placed less value on a woman just because she wasn’t as pretty as we thought she should or could have been.
As I say in Pt. 1, both men and women are weak for a pretty face. Women are willing to treat a woman better if she is attractive as well. Yes, there are some women who are jealous and they will be rude to a pretty woman. However, I remember when I was in high school, I entered the front office where there was a lady sitting behind the desk talking to another student. As I walked in, she immediately peeped around and said, “Can I help you?” She sounded annoyed as if I didn’t belong in the front office. She was probably trying to be rude to me, but she did something that she didn’t even notice she done. She actually put me ahead of the girl she was already dealing with. She cut the conversation short with the student in front of me just so she can give me “service”. That was rude to the person she was dealing with.
Had I been an ugly girl, I would have been invisible. She would not have asked me if she can help me. I only caught her attention because I looked good. This is exactly why I wrote so many beauty tutorials. I think looking beautiful is important for women because of the little (and big) perks you get. And some of those little perks can lead to bigger, better opportunities.
