Thinking you are beautiful is a beautiful thing, and everyone should. It does not equal narcissism. And you know what? I think we're put in a really degrading spot because yes, you're right, we have all these REALLY great and powerful things men don't, so we are often categorized into places we don't belong just for being honest.<BR/>2) I forget it because of my environment, but you're completely right about intelligence compared to confidence. A lot of people have assumed that "you can't be smart and pretty", you know? And beauty fades. If you are confident in yourself for who you are, you'll go much farther than if you're just pretty. You've gotta have that something to back it up.<BR/><BR/>That something is a milkshake.Lolita Hazedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472062982434719598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660256490311139937.post-67164300950609654082008-12-20T20:14:00.000-06:002008-12-20T20:14:00.000-06:00Oh wait, I think I see what you mean. I think thi...Oh wait, I think I see what you mean. I think this might go back to women harnessing their sex appeal in order to find confidence. I think the two are completely interdependent on one another. But if you think back to film noir, women used their sex appeal to be in control of the situation and the man. I think all of this is because we aren't exactly taught that intelligence=confidence. Especially in grade school. The most popular girl was usually pretty confident because she was adored, not because her GPA was a 4.0. At least that was my grade school experience.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092686842766829605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660256490311139937.post-90346611905475250632008-12-20T19:58:00.000-06:002008-12-20T19:58:00.000-06:00There's this awesome quote Christina Aguilera has ...There's this awesome quote Christina Aguilera has that basically says, "I'm overconfident about my sexiness and sex appeal because it puts me in control and I love the feeling of being in control." <BR/><BR/>More women need to own their sexiness. Can men? No. Do men have hips? Or breasts? Or curves, or natural seduction? No. It's all just for us. <BR/><BR/>Women who chastise others for their ability to own their beauty and sexiness only do so because of the inability to own theirs.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092686842766829605noreply@blogger.com
