With that being said, I think BE is on to something. I'm sorry, but most people that like anime are either fat slobs, or pimple faced geeks. It's true. Go to a con and see for yourself. The percentage of unattractive people is higher at an anime con then it is compared to the percentage of unattractive people in general. I would not hang out with 95% of anime fans. Call me stuck up or whatever, but I'm not hanging out with total dorks.
That is sad to hear. Not being able to accept someone because of their looks, their likings or their style is not a sign of openmindness, but then, you're the only one suffering from that statement. Why ? Because if you are close enough to those trivial things, you don't know what true friendship is. Relation with other shouldn't start about looks, likings or style, but I guess this is just my opinion.
Quote:In my case it certainly is. The way I dress, the makeup I wear, etc, that's all part of who I am, it's a reflection of my personality.
Wearing makeup doesn't change who a person is. If a girl has skin problems, wearing foundation will make her skin look good and she will therefore feel prettier and have more confidence in herself. She will be the exact same person with or without the makeup on but with the makeup on she'll look better and that's something every woman wants.
Oh no, I'm not saying it is wrong, but I was reffering to your comment "Sometimes it is" like if the girl couldn't be attractive without makeup. She can certainly be more, but I think a girl without makeup can be as attractive as someone with a fullset of makeup. Yes it gives lots of confidence, yes it can completely transforms her into a divine princess. But the "attractiveness" inside "love" don't mind. With or without makeup, his or her lover will find him/her attractive, because normally, we fall in love with a person, not with their looks. It's a state of mind, a state of heart.
You'll need it in due time
