Music: Sufjan Stevens - The One I Love (R.E.M cover).
Today in Community and Family Studies:
N: Yeah, I don't think my BF is hot!!If looks can be deceiving, we don't have much else to rely on the first time we meet someone. Everyone denies it but how can you honestly say that someones "personality" is what attracted you to them in the first place? I'm going to put it bluntly: humans are superficial. Some of us try to hide it but really, whatever delights our senses delights us. Not to say that anything or anyone that looks good is good but we often base our first impressions on someones looks.
L: Watttt, he's hottttt!
N: Nah... he's not!
G: Like, he can't be too hot and he can't be unattractive, he should just be normal y'know? Cos if he's too hot, girls would always be around him and stuff!
N: Yeah, exactly!
L: WHAT! It's your heart that falls in love, not your face!
M: Well, I guess you both have a point. It's their looks that first attract you but then again, you shouldn't be base your opinion on their appearance.
Is there a way to avoid this from happening? No. But it just goes to show that you don't really know what someone is like until you get to know them. The way someone presents themselves does indicate what they are like inside to a certain extent but looks don't tell the whole story.
Think someone is a skank/ daft/ strange? Hold that thought - talk to them first. You may be surprised, you may not. But you won't know until you make an effort to get to know them.
You know you love me,
xoxo
