The Things People Do.... for a Pretty Face ???

Yes.... we all fall for it.... Pretty faces. I was chatting with an internet friend just now and she told me that she has a boyfriend. Somehow, the chat seemed weird cos she just stopped short after she told me he's outstation. Being in a busybody mood, I pressed on and she finally admitted that he has another girlfriend outstation. I was like, `Huh ??? And you are not jealous ? You still love him ?' She said, `Yes.... cos he's very handsome.'

I asked her again, `Ermmm..... anything to go with that?' She said, `No, he's handsome, that's all that matters' I couldn't believe what I was hearing! This is so unfair !!!! Good looking people can get away with anything !!!

I supposed it's a choice that we all have to make for ourselves... like the movie `To Wong Foo'..... `style or substance?' I remember telling my sister the night before her wedding, `You are so smart! What a good choice of a husband!' She beamed with happiness and asked,`Really ? You think I made the right choice ?'

I smiled and told her, `You chose a husband you are sure no one will steal from you!' At first, she look confused, then when it finally dawned on her what I meant, she jumped on me and screamed, `Wow! You are so mean!' I just laughed uncontrollably. True enough, they are still happily married until today with two lovely daughters.

Then there were cases where a friend who has a handsome boyfriend and barely months into engagement, came a third party. A third party who knew he was already engaged but went all out to get that guy, and got him.

I thought about all these things..... somehow, I personally think, it all boils down to moral values and family upbringing. The sense of righteousness and sentivity to other people's feelings seem to be seriously lacking these days.

It's all about survival of the fittest... and in the case, who's the prettiest. If I can steal your boyfriend from right under your nose, it means that I am prettier or better at sex or both. And that is the only value that is important to these people. Doesn't matter if it's the wrong thing to do, doesn't matter if it hurts other people, doesn't matter if it's breaking rules, doesn't even matter if I have to resort to black magic.... what matters is the I feel superior and more beautiful and more capable of getting the guys I want, that's all that matters. Of course, after she got him purring like a kitten under her arms... she dumped him for another guy!!! New and more challenging project!

And it's all happening around us..... rampantly. I personally know of so many cases... come to think of it, it's really scary! Newly-weds.... 6 months into the marriage, the wife gets pregnant and the husband gets a new girlfriend. I have personally witnessed so many cases in the past 1 year. And the best part is, the new girlfriends are fully aware that the guy is married and that his wife is pregnant!

The solution ? Well, sorry, no solutions for this predicament.... that's why my topic for this post.... Pretty faces or not ? What would you do for a pretty face ? Would you risk losing your handsome husband when you are pregnant ? Or lose your beautiful wife if you are not man enough (in terms of wealth, virility, looks, etc) ? Or would choose not to have a pretty face and go for substance instead ?

Someone might say, `Oh that's not fair.... having a handsome husband or a pretty wife doesn't mean you will lose them, not all good looking people are like that!' Yes, that is true... maybe not all good looking people are like that... but only problem is, many people want them, no matter what the cost!


What do you guys think ???? Again, back to my question, Pretty face or not ??? And what would you willingly sacrifice for having a pretty looking partner ???
