I believe it is so sad that our society is so driven by looks. Even very beautiful people never seem happy with the assets they have, and are always look for more, because there is always someone else with more beauty, charisma and charm.
We need to be okay being who we are! Big challenge. It is amazing to me how much I care about what people think and say about me, despite the fact that I work very hard at leading a spiritual life.
The things that make us unhappy in life – and there are many – we cannot control.
I have been dealing with changes in my mind, body and spirit that come with age. In my day, I have to say now (didn’t think it then) I was a pretty attractive woman. It was quite common to be acknowledge by other men for my looks in my younger days.
Now, I am no longer “flirted” with – only once by a 90 year old man who said he liked my scarf!
I find myself wanting to change my appearance to look younger. The Aging process is not appealing to me. But like many things in my life – I have no choice.
That being said – physical attraction is important in relationship and I think it is an attribute that should be entertained. The more things we can find in people that we like the greater the chance the relationship will be a satisfying one. So maybe you will find someone who is beautiful both inside and outside. Good luck.
