What the idea of beauty is around here
People all have their own ideas about beauty I suppose...but why are some looks generally favored in my area over others? I live in a rural community where most of the guys grow up working in a watermelon field. We have a population of about 2000, and 7 churches, all Christian and divisions of Christianity. I don't consider myself hideous, much to the disagreement of people around here. I was with friends the other day and some things this guy said just really bothered me...ex) we were outside and he looks over and leans back and smiles and says'nothing better than a blonde in the sun' and then looks over at the other two, one being me, an goes back to basking himself in the sun and all of his sweaty glory. Is it like this other places? They actually tend to favor the traditional blonde hair blue eyes here. No one else with any other combination gets looked at really. Naturally I am blonde hair and blue eyes but I dye my hair a lot and generally people Frown upon not being natural here. Is it like this everywhere or is my town so afraid of change they have come to see one look as more attractive then the others? I really don't understand people

The only time I've ever heard of someone thinking blond haired blue eyes as being superior and better and to be desired is when Hitler pushed for an Aryan race which was to be strictly blond and blue eyes even tho he was neither.
With 7 churches in the area who teach unconditional love, I highly doubt your community has a favoritism like this going on. It may be more how you perceive things. If the males with such attitudes are around mid to late 20's or younger, then their attitudes are due to being immature, unknowledgeable, and likely just 'full of themselves'. If you fall into that age range, then its a good chance that looks and acceptance are BIG to you, finding your place in society, your self image and self confidence may be suffering. It can happen at any age tho. But my advice is to not pay any mind to people like that. People with set beliefs, and narrow minded views are not my choice of people to want to win friendship and attention of nor would their opinions carry any water with me. It shouldn't with you either. Go find people to befriend who are accepting of all, they do exist.
