Pretty boys? Handsome girls? UGLY???

haa...

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way putting down anybody. I am refering to society as a whole. Hopefully the one reading this post would see my point and learn from it? Its a life perspective/lesson I am still learning from life that I would like to share with you all.

One of the driving factors of society seems to be exterior beauty. Every kid growing up seems to be looking for a cute guy or pretty girl to get attached too. Notice the adjectives all refer to the exterior? When a person annouces he/she is attached, one of the first few questions would be: "Pretty or not?" or "Is he handsome?" Think about it. haha.

Well... Technically the males are often stereotyped as superficial, who only deem girls 'pretty' enough as qualified to be their girlfriends/future spouse.
Well... no offence to girls, I have heard much comments like that, many from girls.

Honestly, although I do believe girls in general do not rank attractiveness as important as boys in general... err... think of the HOTTEST guy (plainly by looks) around your certain group of friends and see how many girls like him/ swoon over him/ complement him/ choose him first when you need a partner for a project... (this kinda happens for vice versa for the HOTTEST girl as well.)

OKOK... no offence huh... I am just stating an observation. I do know that there truly are many guys and girls who are not superficial. A good practice is to constantly ask yourself your motive for avoiding/hanging out with a certain person. Is it mainly because that person is attractive? a hah... gotcha???

Well... I was grew up pretty unattractive as a teen. I do acknowledge I somehow look better now compared to my past.. I am not trying to say I am hot and hunky and handsome now, but if you know me, I can show you my photos. Be amazed. haha.... Maybe its braces, army, puberty, but I know God planned it for His purposes. Still, I can tell the difference on how society treats me already... Although that is not the only factor, I know it plays a part somewhat.


Why did God make some people better looking than others?

"16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." - Ephesians 4:16

Well... Everone has their own godly work cut out for them to do. They have their own people group they can reach out to. Very talented and popular people will not be able to reach out to everybody. Seemingly less 'attractive' or less 'popular' people will have their own gang and thus that is a harvest field for them.

Popular people tend to be overglorified by society. Even in Christian circles. God views everyone the same. We are all equal in His sight and no one is better than the other.

Anyone, popular or not, has their own godly work cut out for them and should be given chances to develop and grow and the church is to be built by the work of ALL members of the body of Christ. This is true in evangelism and ministry.
