Magazines, TV and adds are full of photoshopped models who look almost perfect. Do you think media creates us pressures? I mean, the more beautiful you are, the more attention you'll get. It's all about the first impression. If you're not enough pretty, people seldom notice you or think like "who is that and why isn't he/she taking care of his/her appearance"? Young people (and older ones too) have HUGE pressures on how to look perfect. People should always be young, sexy, skinny, successful and of course, beautiful/handsome. We talk a lot about the inner beauty but we rarely take it seriously. Magazines are full of different kind of makeup tips, recipes and but then also full of skinny models showing (sometimes) their intimate areas. And what comes to our modern beauty ideal: it's horribly twisted.
I'm not saying that I am some kind of a person who doesn't want to look beautiful or doesn't care about it. I'm just pretty frustrated that everything focuses on how you look.
I would be so pleased to hear your own opinion about this subject, thank you!

Pressure to be like that for guys as well!
No one goes to the beach, pool with their hair curled and a full face of make up on.
And no one goes to bed like that either.
No ones skin is as perfect as its shown in magazines etc.
and some boys expect you to look like that.
I know exactly where you're coming from.
If everyone looked the same, that would be boring anyway.

I know all too well how difficult it can be with all the media pulls to be thin and perfect. People tell me that they think I have a pretty face or that they love my hair but because I don't have the perfect body it's kind of an automatic reaction to think "they're just being nice". It's a shame our society is so obsessed with it but it's human nature in a way, just magnified by the media.

Yeah I totally agree with you I believe people are constantly changing their natural state to fit in with society's idea of beauty

I hate the pressure because I've always been the ugly duckling because I don't feel the need to wear makeup everyday. However I don't feel like an ugly duckling because I like myself and the way I am. Granted I wish my acne would go away but it's gene related and there is only so much I can do. I go to school for photography and I see it 24/7 I just don't let it bother my self esteem anymore.

It seems that way but I've learned that I look different and I'm unique for a reason. Those models and celebrities do play a role on how we view ourselves but we should try not to be too obsessed by it. It would kinda boring if everyone looked the same.

Its sickening how media (all forms) dictates what is acceptable and what isn't. Personally I don't allow it to bother me and I advise my 13 yr old daughter to do the same. I teach her to embrace and love herself regardless of what society deems as pretty. The pressure to be "beautiful " only manifest itself if the individual allows all the nonsense to invade their mind.

Yes I agree!too many ppl r ovr board wit appearance and whts and&nt.Alot of girls r killing themselves to keep up wit the latest fab.Alot of posts on thanks site is like that keeping up wit the Jones.I think self esteem and confidence is a real issue.Sme of the girls on thanks site r very young like under age and at times its hard to give a opinion cuz I dnt want to blow their self esteem or discourage thm.I feel if your comfortable and your own body thn that is wht matters.Sme thgs I disagree bt that's my opinion,I dnt live and your shoes.Live life wit happiness and content of who you r.Morals and self worth is mre beautiful than freaken expensive shoes,hair,and mkup.

I have to agree our society is based on beauty. I love makeup and hair but I can still go out without make up and be confident! I have struggled for ears trying to figure out to be perfect and at times I find myself slipping back bit the best thing that has ever happened to me was my mom staying with me pulling me out of my eating disorder and supporting me every step of the way. it gets hard, but you have to know that you are both strong and beautiful. don't let anyone tell you different!

I think woman do it to themselves though! We are our own worst enemies! Men do not like skinny waifs, they like a woman to be a woman! And I think that to love someone you have to love their personality! How many guys have you gone out with and then after your finished looked back and realised how Gorgeous they were while you were together but looking at them once the love has died they look completely different?
Yes first impressions count, but I think women like to look nice to impress other women First and foremost! It's like a big competition, men are just there to entertain us ahhaha! That's why it's a woman's world! Not a mans world!! Xxxxx

Yes , but I mean if you're not wearing make-up or making yourself seem beautiful to that sort.. Than you're not really accepted. I , myself have witnessed how people treat you different with and without make-up. Being pretty is a most to society..
