I agree with your comments. Unfortunately, a lot of people do only see what they see with their eyes. I figure, there are a ton of pretty women out there. It gets trickier when you try to pair that with other combinations like accepting of my geekiness, intelligent, and having an awesome sense of humor (like me). Throw in chance, luck, timing, circumstances and other variables and you easily see that life is complicated. And then, not only do you have to find the right girl, but she has to like you back! Unless you prefer to take ‘em by force :-P
It’s interesting when you say it’s “human nature”. Makes me wonder what about it causes it to be human nature. Is it really important for our survival, or just one of those little things that developed for no good reason? Without mirrors, I still don’t think I’d get out of the house faster. I fiddle around on the computer and always leave late.
]]>Very good questions you’re posing here on your blog. I think it’s really all about the eye of the beholder…and depending on each individual person, the “eye” extends to the mind.
For example, some men whose “eye” might only be regarding aesthetics might look at Lindsay Lohan and should he have the chance to date her, he might. Others’ “eye” might extend past aesthetics and might expect that someone they date will not have a drug/promiscuity/emotional problem. LOL!
To more directly answer your question, if we had no more mirrors in this world, we might be apt to get out of the house faster each morning, especially for females, but in the end, it’s really more about what the “eyes” we have beholds. We would find a way, as it’s human nature, to judge ourselves and each other in terms of personal appearance.
