Put Your Best (Foot?) Forward


Today I was reading a blog about blogging (ironic) and I was disgusted to read: If you’re an attractive womanwork your most prominent physical characteristic into the blog (extra points if it’s a pictorial reference)   

Excuse ME?! 
So you're really suggesting to me that the more I use my physical features to make my point the more I will attain readers & followers? Unfortunately, that's exactly what he was suggesting. No wonder so many girls and women of today are caught up in their looks, and how to always improve them. Much of the worlds message revolves around how to improve self, and how to become a better you.  Well I hate to break it to you, but most of the time they're not talking about our brains ladies!!   Sad, but true. I couldn't believe I read that sentence in that blog; (note: it was a man's blog!) To me, that'd degrading. Saying that we can't use our BRAINS and TALENTS to be interesting... no, we have to use our bodies, our physical appearance to gain interest??   I don't think so!!

Now, I'm not all "Women, lets band together & be independent".  But I am all "Ladies, don't listen to that lie".  
Because that's what it is.  A lie.  I have fallen for that over and over but NOT AGAIN.  I'm not falling for the lie that in order to gain respect and interest I have to use my physical appearance.  


Are you going to fall for that??   How far will you go ^^^ to fit in with this statement and gain this world's "respect"?

And for the guys....... are you going to follow after this man's example and show us that we have to "work our most prominent physical features" to be recognized or are you going to be different and be the man we need. The man who recognizes things beyond the outward. The man who doesn't base his opinion on what (and how much) he can see.  

Well, that's my rant. What is YOUR opinion on this??  Guys, Gals, write in & let me know!  Have you been told the same things? What did you do about it?  Guys, have you shown women that their bodies are the key focus? Or have you been above the world's mold, and treated women as people rather than possession?  I'd love to hear from you so GOGOGO it's opinion time!!! 

God bless, and blog soon
