Are we 'appearance' obsessed....
 

..so based on IAC and Rebecca and Amy and the effect on Rebecca of cruel 'appearance' Facebook comments, when she's such an accomplished person..(it's also being discussed on the Right Stuff..)....do you think that we're obsessed with physical appearance more than anything else...

..there's also a Telegraph article suggesting it's a British obsession..that on Facebook etc, people tend to care more about their appearance/photos etc more than any accomplishments they may have... but surely if that's true, then it's not just in this country or worse in this country...

Without a doubt. It takes the very best of a person to not take appearence into consideration when judging another person.

..maybe 'on first sight' but even when you know them..?...

See with my friends we often do judge eachother, but in a jokey kind of way (for instance 'what the hell are you wearing?'). Though I wouldn't judge a friend on their physical appearance.

..yeah, I thinks that's just a jokey thing though, not a judgement..(even if you do think that shirt they have on is a bit dodgy..)...it's more (like IAC..)..when people feel that whatever they have achieved in life is 'judged' far less than their physical appearance, which seemed to be the way with Rebecca...I wonder if she had a choice..would you rather be an Olympic swimmer or perceived as 'beautiful', which she would choose....

Yeah, I think we are unfortunately

No not everyone is,
she was a top sports woman
who was stupid to have a tweeter account

We are far too obsessed with appearance,even guilty of it myself.

Yes Women
more than men

You'd be surprised how many men take ages to get ready.

We all wanna impress the ladies ya see.

everyone is the same. we dont see ourselves unless you work in a mirror shop, make up hair clothes etc its all for other people, its quite sad really.

that thing with her is just crazy. flaunt what you got, hide what you dont. use what you have and dont care about others is my advice.

Well, duh! The entirety of western society is image obsessed! We're all told left, right, and centre how we can make ourselves more attractive via the media, and you need only walk down the beauty isles of a supermarket to see that proven true.

loving this advice flaunt what you have got, well I guess ive got big boobs so I better flaunt them lol oh and my legs are ok, my belly is big so il hide that. Oh and I have never cared about other people lol

lol thats the way to do it :)

in fast paced cities yes, in environment where their biggest joy of the day is seeing their kids eat and the green nature around them, hellz no!

yes. that's why guys nowadays all have girlfriends that look the same, people have friends that could be their clones.

thats just inbreeding in some cities. lol

yes women have always been materialistic and obsessed with superficial things like appearance....they claim they aren't which is simply dishonest.....british women are the worst in all of western society though....very shallow false attention seeking people with victim mentality written across their faces..of course this is why the debt per head in the UK is one of the worst in the world

..look even at nurses....false nails false hair false eyelashes, no wonder they dont do their jobs properly. How does one change padding, dressings , bandages with false nails? the best nurses are mostly foreigners or men....some of these self obsessed women are truly revolting...yes of course there are now many men too who have been feminized , but thankfully the number is far less....little girls now look more like Barbie dolls and all women ever talk in the UK is money, clothes, heels, twitter, facebook tatoes false nails etc its shallow and boring...pity those poor husbands who go to work fixing the roads, the plumbing , the electrics, the fires, the scaffolding, the buildings etc etc

But Im a mysogynist for even stating the truth lol

No, you just come across as a mysogynist

No, not in my family.:hugesmile:

No I don't Im just being honest. youre just too spineless, cold and indifferent to see the reality out there....did you know 25000 people died from clots they picked up in UK hospitals last year? from sub standard nursing? do you even care? Didn't think so, shame on you.

Did you also know that not every nurse is a woman, and not all woman nurses are obsessed with getting their nails done and most probably do go about their duty of care? Of course you don't, because you have this bizarre fixation that every woman is the same and us men are treated harsher.

The problem is, is that it sounds like your blaming that entirely on women

It doesn't sound like it, that's exactly what is happening... refreshing, isn't it?
