I like your glasses!
jrb...wasn't he just THE MOST?? to say the least!!!
Ya know, there is nothing wrong with wanting to look better, as well as be healthier. But make sure they go hand in hand.
Oh...and when we're talking about being an actor in the biz, make sure you have the stamina and are in shape to do 8 shows a week. I know big kids that can kick ass at this and skinny kids who would drop dead after the second performance.
I'm not going to say that gay guys have it worse than girls because it's probably not true, but I will say that there is this "thing" that for whatever reason makes me feel like in order to be excepted, I have to be thin, tan, have a six pack and a huge ... and I simply don't meet all those requirements and it makes me feel like less of a person and it's not right. on the other hand we're told to like people for who they are on the inside and yet being beautiful on the inside is not going to get you laid and it's not going to get you the role of that dashing, handsome leading man over someone who does fit those requirements. it's not fair, but it seems to be how things work...
CATS has a point. I know we all mean it when we say personality counts, but looks is what first draws people. And yes, I shall be a bitchy-arse judger: but I'm in no hurry to make friends with someone who has food stains all over their shirts. I'm sorry, it's horrible of me, I know, but I can't STAND that.
Yeah, personality is the key thing to anybody.
Cat's you are too hard on yourself.. But I do have to agree that being beautiful on the inside is very important but you have to be able to get someones attention long enough for them to see that..
Exactly. Most kids I know won't give you a second look if you're dressed with thousands of piercings, all black goth stuff. Sad, but true. (and I'm sorry, but if I talk to you and you have loads of piercings, chances are I will get distracted. It's rude but it's true I can't help but stare! Yes, I am an awful person)
I'm no gym rat, but I am AWESOME in bed. Seriously.

My point exactly.
Nice Matt..
Just remember.. Fat people are harder to kidnap!!
camerangel - That was pretty funny. And not pretty as in aesthically pleasing, but as in quite. I'll have to remember that one.
I try.. Oye, I jsut noticed the type.. herder.. UGh.. **runs to fix**
I hate the obsession with looks nowadays. Especially within the gay community.
And the fact is, they all end up looking and acting the same...
Bleached blonde hair, tight shirt, some kind of piercing, lisp, no brain...

Oh, I would say that the best sex I've ever had has been with non-"VGL" boys. Only a couple of the "VGL" boys were hot. The rest were boring. The best time ever was with a "VGL" boy, but he was just a sexy mf.
A LOT has to do with your disposition and the vibes you give off. When I'm feeling down on myself, I can go into a bar and feel invisible. This weekend I was in a great mood, flirting with people, and getting hit on left and right. No kidding.
I have a friend who's not a looker... AT ALL. Yuck. Yet he's the kind of guy that whenever we go out, he ALWAYS walks out of there with the hottest guy. Because he looks at whoever and decides that whom he wants and goes and gets it.
Not saying that I'm not guilty of the pressure to look right... hell, I go to the gym religiously and obsess about loosing those ever elusive 10 pounds.
That's me alright.
Which reminds me that I haven't been to the gym since Thursday.
It was sad in High School seeing some of the lengths that people would go to to be popular and get attention.
Thanks for that story, Sally. I'm exercising and eating right these days and it actually feels good. I'm not the skinniest girl in the world (I'm a healthy , and I never will be because I have too much muscle to be one of those ultra thin size 2s. My pants are starting to get a little tight (some advice: if your school lets you go out to lunch every day, don't abuse this privelege) so I started the eat healthy and exercise routine and it feels great. I eat oatmeal or a salad/sandwich for lunch, run on the elliptical for half an hour, and then a reasonable portion of whatever I want for dinner. Of course I got sucked into that "i need to be skinny for people to like me" void, as everyone does at some point. That and I like the way clothes look on me when I'm more toned and trim. I realize there is more to it now and being healthy feels great.
Healthy = Pretty
I just like that picture of Priest. He looks so cute!

I am glad that someone made this post. I have a lot to say about this so bear with me. I am always hating myself because I am not as skinny as I want to be. I tried starving but my parents were a bit too nosey and they litteraly made me eat. I have seen some people who are not really skinny but they are pretty. I just personally think I would look better skinnier
Shilo! Please know that starving doesn't help you lose weight. A healthy, balanced meal and exercise does. And, please be certain what your doctor feels your ideal weight should be--don't give in to the lies that seeing pics of Lohan and Hilton, etc. give you!!
Remember the lyrics to "Beautiful"!
etoile--you are a glamourous, hot thang yourself!
I can't stand this misconstrued interpretation of the meaning of being pretty. The media is one of the culprits. This whole topic actually scares me. I have a friend who had an eating disorder and was shrinking away to nothing. When people start to think that they are not thin enough it stays in there mind that they are not pretty and it never goes away. It is something my friend will have to deal with the rest of her life. If a doctor says that someone is at a healthy weight then thats that. People come in all shapes and sizes. It is how we were created and it is meant to be. I hate how our culture dictates on what beauty is.
jrb_actor- You are right. Not eating does makes your metabolism slow down because you aren't "refueling it".
Lael, that's how I am! I'll never be able to fit into those small size pants...My legs are much too big. But I'm really quite secure with myself...I've lost a bit of weight over the summer because I don't eat as much in the summer as I do in the school year. I used to weight 140, now I weigh 135.

OK. Three words:
WHAT. THE. and FVCK!!?!
SKINNY DOES NOT EQUAL PRETTY??
STILL NOT OVER BRAD AND JEN AND NOW YOU'RE DROPPING THIS BOMB??!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD!! WHAT THE HELL IS NEXT, RICH DOESN'T EQUAL HAPPY?? MINORITY DOESN'T EQUAL LESS OF A PERSON???
Yeah. I just got one of those comments a few days ago when my immediate family all went out to dinner. This man passing by offered to take a picture of us with the sushi in our chopsticks so my grandpa could be in it. He said well she doesn't eat or something like that. I didn't hear him say it but my mom did. I kinda wish she didn't tell me. I hate it when people are shocked when they see me finishing my plate. I was just at a graduation party and took a second helping and one of the guys there was like whoa thats a lot of food. Ummm yeah we all gotta eat.
