Why are you so pretty?

Mixed blood makes beautiful children.
That’s my answer and I’m sticking with it!

In most cases, it is just the relative difference between what you see and how you perceive yourself.
In my case, I am just genetically perfect.

Genetics.

Also, I’m transsexual, so I have discovered the fountain of youth. (I.E., I’m going to look like I’m 16 for the next ten years or so.)

It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it.

I know why they look prettier to me. Because I went to high school in the eighties. Have you seen the styles in the eighties. Given the styles now, they’re much much prettier.

@Blackberry I’m with you. Once in a while I’ll take one for the team if I have to.

I was boooorn this way.

Bone structure & flawless skin, moisturise darling.

Because I refuse to believe that I’m ugly. And because I got my momma’s hair and my daddy’s eyes. =0)

Because if the mirror ever says that someone is prettier than me, I’ll go find that person and rip out their heart.

@Symbeline Whoa, pretty harsh. Okay, you’re prettier than me.

My eyebrows are pretty awesome.

The very reason I married my wife who is 9 years younger than me! ;)

Orthodonture.

You’ll see me surrounding myself in butt-ugly fuckers,or ugly butt fuckers. Aww really ,my secret is I go to Walmart to shine.

It’s me eyes.

Luck.

Don’t hate me because I am beautiful…
It might be due to the oxygen chamber I sleep in.

@bookish1 What kind of blixed mud? :-)

@ragingloli Yeah, it shows in the photo you use for an avatar. :-)~

@SpatzieLover Even the wings? I’ll swan, you sure look like a cross between a human and a swan. But hey, you could do worse. Dad was a turkey vulture.

@bookish1 Yes, that’s fascinating to me, because I struggled with that. M/F or F/M—not that it matters but it’s nice to know what gender specific pronouns work.

@Blackberry Hard jobs I handle with ease. Impossible takes a bit longer—in my particular case, long enough to reincarnate. I’m definitely going to ba a girl if I get another try. :-)

@choreplay The 80s? Lucky you! You should have seen what they wore in the 50s!

@Adirondackwannabe I’ve got one. You can take it, and the team can watch. :-)

@tups Blimey, everybody is born pretty. It’s what happens after we leave that wondrous tunnel of love that messes things up.

@ucme Aha! With a breathing tube, I could sleep immersed completely in moisturizer. It’s going to take that—or more!

@Symbeline Ah yes, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” Oh wait—that didn’t end well, did it?

@fundevogel And all this time I thought that was a mustache. You clever beauty, you!

@Cruiser Too weird—my wife’s 9 years younger than me as well—and for the same reason.

@6rant6 I checked with my orthodontist hoping she could turn me into a leading man. Something went wrong in the procedure, though. Because I ended up a meading LAN.

@woodcutter Ha! It’s the contrast that counts. If I get hired as a greeter at Walmart will I be far enough in to get the effect?

@rebbel That must be what they mean when they say, “The eyes have it.”

@tinyfaery Drat. That’s what I am always out of.

@filmfann I’ll start with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and work my way up to something industrial strength for an old fart like me.

Maybe because when we get older, some of us become more appreciative and accepting of a wider range of “beauty,” while younger folks can be more influenced by the media?

When I was 16, my concept of beauty was much, much more narrow than it is now.

Why thank you kind sir! Must be that recipe mum and dad used back then!

@ZEPHYRA Must be. They did great work!

@ETpro: I am what used to be called a(n) Eurasian. However, I prefer the term Indo-European!

@bookish1 Can I just call you awesome?

@Symbeline I’ll second that. I am so glad @bookish1 joined the collective.

Dang straight, bro. I’ll hunt him down and bring him back if he ever leaves

daww thank you both, I appreciate the lurve ^_^

hmm, larvae.

@Symbeline & @bookish1 Viva La Vida.

The grass is greener on the other side of the fence? I guess if you’re older, you might be attracted to qualities that you miss from your younger days, like spontaneity, energy, etc. I’m in my 20s and usually attracted to older people who seem experienced, dependable, and capable. It’s all about balance.

@Haleth Flattery will get you nowhere somewhere all the way with this old geezer.

@Cruiser and @ETpro Um, is one of you my husband in disguise? He’s nine years older than I am! ;)

Maybe it’s Maybelline?

Maybe it’s Maybelline Symbeline? fixed amirite XD

@Haleth: I’ll drink to that.

I’m just depressed that I’m the only one who didn’t get a reply from “the old geezer.” And here I thought we had something! <sniffle sniffle> <heartbroken>

@WillWorkForChocolate I am flummoxed. You are the last person I’d deliberately exclude. Fluthering While Impaired, obviously.

@augustlan Maybe its a Fluther wide coincidence.

@Ponderer983 Ha. Maybe it’s Maybbeline.

@Symbeline Want to put yourself into that song? :-)

@ETpro
More of me

@ETpro Not really lol.

@ragingloli That was strange. Thanks.

@Symbeline Good call.

& PS @Haleth : So far, while certainly lacking decades of life experience, I’ve still ended up being more mature in some ways than the 30, 40 and 50 year olds I’ve dated. Haha. What about you?

@ETpro Pffft, whatever. <sniffle> Soooo… whatcha wearin’? :D

@bookish1 Aw-rite!

@WillWorkForChocolate Faded jeans to match my genes. That’s it.

@ETpro Actually the greeters at our 2 Walmarts are fairly decent looking so don’t loiter there. Stroll on over to the bakery side and you are bound to see some beauts there.

@woodcutter I didn’t think it was possible, but if you’re gone on the greeters at a local Walmart, you’re in even worse shape than me, my friend. :-)

What can I say, I like cake too.

@woodcutter I can’t argue with that logic.
