Psychosis Syndrome

I have a question. When did it become wrong to admire attractive people? When did caring what someone looks like make you superficial and shallow? When did we become expected to entirely ignore a person’s appearance, lest we be labelled as shallow?

I understand that treating people differently because of how they look is hardly idea for a perfect society, but unfortunately, people seem to take this concept way too far. Rather than enforce the concept in this fair and well-intended form, people love to ram it down peoples’ throats, guilting them into acting in a way that is supposedly ‘fair’.

For example, if I were at a bar, and I saw two people. One is attractive, one is not. Were I to pass over the uggo in order to speak to the pretty one, I would be a bad person. Apparently, I would care only about what’s on the surface, and be disregarding their personalities. Unfortunately, that’s a load of shit, because I don’t know what either of them are like. Since the only method I have for choosing between them is what I see, how is it wrong of me to judge based on that?

The issue is, we’ve been conditioned by countless movies and TV shows to believe that attractive people are actually stupid and uninteresting, whilst the less attractive among us are infinitely superior in terms of personality.

Fuck off.

There is, and I cannot stress this enough, no correlation between how someone looks, and their personality. None. We don’t have a certain number of points to be divided between looks and personality. So if we pick the good looking one, we’re not picking the wrong one. We’re not going to end up with a dumbass cardboard cutout. So why are we made to feel bad about it? Actually, there may be a correlation here. If a person is very, very ugly, they are also likely to be very bitter about it. So they actually lose personality points.

I’ve heard a question asked many, many times: Would you rather be with an uggo with a great personality, or a looker with nothing on the inside. FUCK THIS QUESTION. Believe it or not, there are more than two people in the world, and so, in all likelihood, you will never have to make this decision. No-one will.

And why should I be glared at for choosing to look at someone who is physically fit and healthy, instead of something so large it’s actually oozing off the side of its seat? We’re genetically programmed to find the thinner one more attractive, so why should we fight it? 

Like I said, I’m not trying to argue that we should only make time for attractive people. It’s not the most important aspect of any person, and it’s certainly not fair to judge people based purely on their looks. But it IS fair to factor it in, and it IS fair to make an initial judgement based only on the facts you have. And if a person chooses a hottie over the bearded lady, DON’T make them out to be the villain. Seriously, chicks with beards, not cool. And maybe, just maybe, the hottie is also a better match for them. Plus, she doesn’t grow facial hair. Just saying.

So, in conclusion: If you always gravitate towards the better looking people in the bar/club/pub, good for you. You have no reason not to, other than people being dicks. If you refuse to talk to someone because they’re ugly (and don’t have a beard. Seriously, fuck that shit), you might have a problem. But it’s YOUR problem, and not anyone else’s. Unless you make them beg for a dog treat. That’s bordering on cruel and unusual punishment.

Not every uggo has a heart of gold, and not every pretty face masks a Barbie or Ken doll. Caring about how people look is not a crime!
