Tips From the Pink Bible

"The clever huntress always looks her best. She never knows when big game will pass her way" ~ The Pink Bible.

What do y'all think about that? If you have no clue what The Pink Bible is, look up http://www.pinkbible.com/. In the Mormon version of Pride and Prejudice, this little book is used and referred to by the many characters (a bunch of girlie college students on the hunt for men).

Anyways, the above quote has been running through my head, a lot, as of late. It seems to me that--even though it is a bit (or extremely) naive of a girl to follow the advice of silly books that supply the do's and dont's of dating--this bit of advice strikes true.

People really should love one another for their inner beauty, but there has to be an initial physical attraction. Am I right or am I right? A guy is not even going to give a girl a second look (unless she is abominable...) if she doesn't look half-way decent. Without even a second glance, a girl wouldn't be able to get small talk, a hang out session, a date, marriage, and/or any form of a relationship from a guy. As shallow as it may seem, looks do matter.

From my experience, this can be really annoying. Whenever I look like a neanderthal woman, handsome guys are everywhere. I swear it is like my ugliness attracts 'em. Sigh. I do try to look pretty, most of the time, but it requires a lot of effort. Okay, okay, it isn't a lot, but sometimes it is more than I care to put forth. There are a bunch of steps that go into the beautification process (basic hygiene, shaving and plucking unwanted hair, contacts, makeup, nail care, clothes, curling/straitening/just doing one's hair, and etc.).

There is a quote circling about random conversations that goes something like, "there are no ugly women in the world, just lazy one's." With a bit of effort, every female has the capability to look like a glamour girl. The thing is, though, I hate dolling up for no reason. If only people had built in or natural abilities to sense a need to look impressive. Wouldn't you agree? I mean, honestly! I don't always want to look like Beautiful Brooke, especially if I am not going to run into a Handsome Henry. A little warning would be lovely.
