Sex appeal in today's society:A rant on life.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I guess stuff got to me and I was busy. Anyways!

My fluff of the Day is on the idiocy of today's society.
Really, you go down the street, and everything is based on sex appeal. People will usually buy things if the person marketing it will sell it to them. I know some people who won't listen to some music because the singer isn't hot enough. But! That's not my problem this time.
I'm ticked off because of highschool relationships. I have people come up to me, and ask me why I'm hanging out with someone...because they're "totally not hot!". I couldn't care less. If I based my opinions of people on how they looked, I'd just be another conformist. Really, I'm friends with the people I'm friends with because they have great personalities.
As well, I hear daily conversations from people is seeking advice from friends. It usually goes like this:
"Hey, I just got asked out by this guy in my Social Studies class!"
"Really? Is he hot?"
"Totally!"
"You should go out with him!"

Or, it proceeds like this:
"Hey, John asked me out today."
"Oh, you mean that John from science?"
"Yah, what should I do?"
"Ew, I wouldn't go out with him, he's ugly!"

If you think the either situation is incredibly pathetic, I applaud you and your opinion. I will conclude by saying that I see this as an unbelievably pathetic act, and I will give you two of my favorite quotes.

I'd rather be hated as someone I am, than liked as someone I'm not.

All the nice men are ugly, all the handsome men are mean and all the nice and handsome men are gay.
