I'm gonna have to say it's easier for women. ANY woman can go into ANY bar and say, "who would like to go home with me" and voila, she ain't going home alone. No man, who's in the same social status could do the same thing. All a man needs is a fat wallet and he can pull gorgeous women all day.
Actually, you'll find that the huge majority of the posts on the fastlane focus on proactive responses to issues and problems.Nathan said:Ha, whoa whoa whoa! Can't a guy be negative every now and then!
We've even had long-time posters here banned, JUST FOR BEING NEGATIVE.
I'm guessing you didn't know this.
Nathan said:To start, I'm 26. I didn't mean to dig on women alone, so don't misconstrue - I meant for men AND women.
Funny, I don't see the words "men and women" in any of your assertions-- please read what you wrote.
I find it fascinating that you equate makeup and clothes w/self confidence. But RAWR had a lot of insight in his comments, so I won't belabor this. Suffice to say that in your original post, you NEVER mention self esteem-- only beauty.Nathan said:Anyone who has extremely low self-esteem like all of these women, and than instantaneously given a high self-esteem is going to change the way they look at the world - as well as their opportunities. They're going to get A LOT of attention they have never gotten. To me, that does not bode well. And to the one point in your post - these women did not LEARN how to be beautiful. Lots of money was spent to make them beautiful, and they gained a beautiful thing from it - self confidence.
Someone with low self esteem will not automatically get better or high self esteem if you give them new clothes, a haircut, and make up.
They'll just have new clothes, new hair, and make-up.
YES they will look different-- to themselves, and to others. THAT is the learning experience-- how powerful appearance can be in how others react to us. Apologies if I did not make this more clear.
Sorry, I didn't make any assumptions. I just asked you a question.Nathan said:But more to latter part of your post.
Please don't assume why I'm here after you just pointed out I was making assumptions. I'm here to learn from experts and experiences that has been picked up to be successful and contribute where I can.
Glad you're here to contribute and learn.
Looking forward to some proactive, positive, fastlane-style posts from you!
