Response to Christy's post - Definition of Beautiful

After reading Christy's post about her take on the definition of a perfect girl compared to others I agree with what she is trying to tell her readers.
What most guys look for in "the perfect girl" is based on their body features. Not everybody is perfect, some girls could be really pretty but have really bad attitudes, others could be the other way around. What Chirsty is trying to tell us is that girls shouldn't be chosen by looks, sometimes the prettiest girls can be the most obnoxious girls you will ever meet. The girls that are overlooked as ugly, or not good enough are also the ones that have been through a lot of things. Being judged on the way the look makes them feel insecure all of the time.
Some girls that I know can't go a day without looking at themselves in the mirror more than five times, wearing make up and commenting on how bad they look. These girls are the ones that feel like they aren't good enough.
In Christy's blog she writes:
N
othing about being skinny is bad, but the fact that other than skinny is considered bad. We all know that being overweight is bad as in health problems but I am not here to talk about it. People judge others by their appearance and does not realize that they are not benefiting themselves. Sure you can make fun of someone and feel good about it but really step in people’s shoes and realize what if feels like to be teased everyday.
I completely agree with what she is trying to say and I think it is very sad when a girl feels that they aren't pretty because people have different ways of being beautiful, sometimes those characteristics are just overlooked.
Later on she states:
Yeah you get the point but what do they say to a non-skinny girl? Nothing except negativity. What this whole post is about is to explain what I meant about skinny girls being referred to as pretty.
My take on this is that there are skinny girls that are also considered "ugly" but at the same time skinny girls have a weird advantage. This is true and false at the same time. I think the real issue with the definition of the "perfect girl" is their personality. Everybody has somebody out there that will accept them for their looks, but sometimes their personalities can make them look ugly.
