About average!!

So....this friend of mine, (unintentionally I think) pointed out, why on orkut he had given only one of the girls in our group the "sexy" rating - "Because you are pretty!". Huh!
Now I have a question. No I have several questions -
Is this right?I mean yeah agreed she's pretty, but does that give friends the right to judge other not-so-pretty people and also point out accordingly? Does sexiness depend only on looks(I know I know...obviously it does...but yet again...does it??). And is it right to get upset over something like this?

Even when you know, that what was said was probably true. Nope it IS true!Even though you go through such discrimination every f***ing day of your life (and also discriminate yourself sometimes!), and eventually learn to take it in your stride, and finally think you have grown immune to all such things....suddenly when you encounter such differentiation yet again from an angle you had least expected this to come from!Does it hurt? You bet it does!!

I am upset!Yes I really really am!I think I speak for all the "about-average" people out there, friends are the quarter we least expect such things from. Whatever!!
I think of it this way - at least this way we find people and friends, who are there with you or there for you, not just because you have a pretty face, but because of you.

Best!

OK, coming from a friend, that can be hard...
But, i mean c'mon, you can't let it bother you so much... I feel sexiness is very subjective, one's pretty is another's sexy... just maybe... i mean must be... i'm living on that hope :)

Well yeaah...I guess you are right....this is nothing to get upset about, and yet it is upsetting! You know somewhere to some extent this is related to all the racism in the world :) I think I am drifting away from the point!
Soo....yeaah..I guess at least friends shouldn't be the people to judge....and all that can be done is keep living and hoping :D

hmmmmmmm well suddenly i jump into this blog and read this..n must say u wrote it from yr heart...but i would say...u should not get upset at all by this..It is not physical appearance. It's what's found inside, what's in your heart. Humility is beautiful, although it's not popular in my sence. Security and self-esteem are beautiful. And knowing God personally brings beauty, because knowing He loves you and accepts you brings security and self-esteem to your life. That enables you to be free to accept and love yourself
