When you're poor you tend to be butt ugly for 95% or your adult life. That's because of many factors like nutrition, water, social pressure, lack of self esteem, lack of education, lack of social contact. Many poor people I've met in the provinces of the Philippines are absolutely beautiful, because they're not really poor, only lack money and social mobility. That's why the pimps in the city go out to the provinces to gather up prostitutes for their businesses. I talked to a 14 year old while in a bar [what were you doing in a bar] <looking at girls chim chim>, she was the sweetest thing, tough, but already aged. And actually, it's the company they keep -- the johns, the other older warped people in the business, the hangers on and trenchcoats [hey, that's hollywood!]. If they'd meet a genuinely nice person once in a while, they'd make fun of him to keep him out.
I think they're too hard on themselves. If they'd just, no that's too much to expect. It's nice people like me who should go out and talk to them, if only to find out what a jaded personality is really like. Oh, about Miss Fourteen. She was still a virgin. I suspect it was a test of some sorts for me, or a shock. Prostitutes in the Philippines send most of their money back to their families, and so are not as jaded as I've told you. I dunno how it is here. Anyway, back to the topic of looking good. While equipment is essential, equipment can be changed. More important is the attitude that you're loved and respected, and that's easy if you believe in God [whatever cards you got, you got Gott]. Attitude is important because that governs how you treat your equipment. From attitude, you can work on style, which is really an expression of you, in whatever you do. For me, writing and social engineering. From style you can derive nuance, which is the yadablah of existence, according to Wilbur [hey!]. Once you get there, and you can't see it until you're there, Big Bang!
