Physical Beauty is Temporary

Post Reply New Topic

I mean I used to be a size 6/8(UK), now i'm a 10/12(UK), used to dress up all pretty all the time, now I don't etc.
so I meant more by the industries standard of beauty i've definitely declined.
But, I guess it's more a case of being comfortable in ones skin, maybe?

Me 5 years ago:



Me today:

I don't have any teenage photos of me to show you, but I think I look better now. I don't look 30, though, but many women in their 30s and 40s look better than in their teens and 20s. Again, confidence/maturity and willingness to be yourself instead of what society expects you to be makes you attractive.

It also depends on a person's clothing style, makeup (for women) or facial hair (for men), etc.

Here are two photos I posted in the Adult section. (Photo 1, Photo 2). I look older with the makeup, imo. (The picture with the glasses is the older one, btw).

But I agree with Wolfheart, celebrity photos are heavily airbrushed and most of the celebrities aren't that gorgeous in real life. Take OP's pictures: it's not a matter of Britney getting old. You just can't compare the professional pictures taken for promotional purposes with an amateur or a paparazzi shot. And don't get me started on the whole "celebrities without makeup" thing.

Also, Wolfheart, your brother doesn't look 30!

I weigh 65 lbs less than when I was 18.

For me its more of being healthy than physically gorgeous or something. As long as one's healthy they'll look decent enough.

It's true, narrow standards of physical beauty are temporary. Douchebaggery, however, is apparently forever.

I look more attractive now, than I did in 2007.

Yawn, another woman hating thread from Ricky5.

Also you chose one of the worst possible pictures of Britney Spears you could find. Here's her recently in 2011. If you think she's repulsively hideous here then there's something wrong with you.

Not every woman has to be the same small size. I'm glad that I don't look like a rack of bones. If I looked like a rack of bones and I needed chemo, I wouldn't make it out of the hospital alive.

I also think that Britney Spears is still as beautiful as she's ever been.

c'mon people, dontcha know RICKY5 by now? he gets his fun from creating controversial topics, then walking away from all the dissent and disagreement. it's part of his cyclical posting pattern.

But but...maybe we like to rage about nonsensical controversy.

I definitely look older, but I think I still look OK...

1999:



2011:

But.. Your hair looks better now.

Except for the fact that I cut it all off last week...

But back to the OT: do I look better then or now?
