Why do we do the things we do? everything we do is to always please the opposite sex or the same sex but whoever it is, we always go out of our way to please that someone to either catch there attention, show them how great a person you really are or just to get in their pants !!! Why? As the song goes “Why must I be like that, Why must I chase the cat” We go to the extremes. We workout to look good, we eat healthy to look and feel good, we buy nice clothes to look good, we buy nice shoes to look good, we get our hair done to look good, we get waxed to look good, we go tanning to look good, we do everything to try to look good. But look good for who? For ourselves.. we always say I feel better when I look good. That may be true but what if you lived all alone on a deserted island, would you spend all that time to try to look good, would it still be the same? I think not, if you were the last person on earth would you bother doing all these things? We all know the answer but why do we still do this, what is it about that physical attraction that makes us let our guard down and allow us to not be ourselves. Don’t mistake this with Love, love can be masked behind attraction and this so called beauty. Real beauty is within a person, which is how we end up falling in love with someone. Our first reaction to sense of loss when being dumped is thinking you will never find anyone that attractive again. How many times have we been dumped or broke up with someone and say to ourselves “I’m never going to find anyone that good looking”, “I’m going to be alone for the rest of my life and if I do find someone they will never be as good looking as my ex”.

When we first notice someone, we only see there outer beauty. Which is only skin deep. Like I said before beauty is within, when we get to know the real person inside. The person that makes you feel good about yourself, the person that lets you be yourself around them, the person you feel comfortable with, the person that makes you laugh and makes you Happy!!! I knew this girl that was in a relationship with this guy that treated her really bad but she put up with it because he was really good looking. Is it really worth all that heartache?

So why do we do the things we do? It’s in us and its up to us to not be blinded by outer beauty, the things we see first. So when you see someone gorgeous walking down the street, stop and think for a second. Is this really me wanting to pursue this person for there personality or is it based on pure looks. Maybe then
you will make a rational decision and might save yourself from a broken heart later on in life.
