Beauty ... Blessing or a Curse?

I'll leave you with some incidents that had happened to me and then you'll get what my topic is all about:

  • I was once going to college and it was raining that day, i stood on the sidewalk under the rain waiting for some decent human being to be humble enough to let me pass to the other road for i can't, since they were driving pretty fast. I kept cursing them in my mind since all of 'em (by coincidence) were men; they're not men! how could they not let a girl pass on such a rainy day?. Until this guy came and stopped his car in order for me to pass, i was like; ashwa el deera lel7en feha reyayel. I passed and then realized that the car hasn't move, the window shield is going down and what do i hear? walla 3ashan jamal wajhech oo 7esnech 6awaftech eb hal yom .. You a$$hole! yes he was 3gaidy! I moved on and thought to myself; there are no decent men left indeed!
  • I was in Mohalab Center once to buy shaila and i stoped at a shop at the corner. Unfortunately, i couldn't find the color i wanted and so, the salesman asked me to come next week for they had to make specail one for me. I complained about not having time to come back again soon. Suddenly i hear him say in low tone of voice: laish ma tyena oo tnawrena eb jamalech. I was like SHENOOOOO!!!! he stuttered a bit and then said: laish ma tyen tnawrena eb wojodech!
  • I was in Al Raya Mall coming down the escalator, holding my two scoop Häagen-Dazs ice cream and heading to work. I noticed this cute lebanese guy looking like a gentleman (since he was wearing a suit) passing by me, the moment he saw the ice-cream he said: 9a7tain ya 7elo!

WTH!!! Seriously, what is happening to men here? Aren't there any decent men left on this earth? I don't generalize but there are only few who are utterly decent, but where are they? And why do they think that girls like it when they tell 'em how much beautiful they are? I don't generalize here either, but to me, a strange guy telling me that i'm beautiful is offensive, Literaly! Because i don't have a connetion with him whatsoever so how does that qualify him to even talk to me? >=\ you don't have to tell me how i look because i damn sure know how! Not to brag or something, but i don't need a man complimenting me or doing me a favor simply because he thinks i'm pretty! What happened to the beauty of the soul? Or is it just one of the cliches nowadays?

Seriously, this is starting to piss me off. And what frustrates me the most is that i can't do anything! I can't complain, i can't respond back, i can't even take a look of disgust at them, why? becauase i can't afford to make a scene, but really, why? because they soon run away the moment they throw their trash! What a coward! At least be a man enough and stand still, better off, SHUT YOUR MOUTH in the first place.

On the other hand, i don't know why some girls smile back to this so-called compliment! They're fooling themselves, it's never a compliment and never will be. Only if it was expressed by a relative or a close friend then yes, i would consider it as a compliment. Moreover, how do i know that this guy is doing me a favor based on me not how i look or how and what i wear? The question is: would you serve an ugly girl just as the same level as to the pretty one? And thus, I have sit me a small list of what to consider an offinsive opinion that is expressed by a man:

  1. You're beautiful.
  2. Your clothes are nice.
  3. Your make up is fresh.
  4. You look different today.
  5. You look fat\thin.

Maybe i'm being paranoid, but that' s my opinion and my way of thinking. I like to keep it professional when it comes to dealing with strange men. Hell, i don't have to wear "niqab" just to avoid those stupid comments. As a matter of fact, monaqabat get commented on as well so this brings me to one important thing; some men aren't decent enough to respect a girl! I think i will carry some sorta of weapon, pepper spray for example to spary their eyes sooo excessivly so that they can't tell whether the girl is pretty or not when i encounter such irritaing situation :p

We are pretty scarce in this world these days. Good decent men that is :P

Anyway, some guys are just plain stupid and shortsighted you know but that does not necessarily mean that all men are like that (and I know you don't think so anyway). But I think you are reading too much into it. I know it's an irritating situation and it does not qualify as to be considered civil in any way whatsoever. But why acknowledge it by letting it get to you?! It isn't worth neither the energy nor the frustration because it simply is plain stupid and uncivil.

Just shrug it off and don't allow such worthless low lives to upset you and ruin any moment for you.

Just my humble opinion :)

Post your picture, let us vote if you're beautiful or not?? xD

I'm gonna get my @$$ kicked, aint I?? Well consider it revenge for the tag ;P

I call it 'Rape' They are raping us with their eyes.

I don't know what to say.

You're doing the right thing. Buggers like those want your attention and as long as you keep moving on your way without giving them the slightest interest they will back off. Some won't give up easily, I know, but don't let it frustrate you. Keep in mind that thing is a worthless creature who's not worth all the fuss and bother.

o0 allah e3eenich. :/

Hey! You can't just take my ideas and implement them on others. You're overstepping my intellectual property rights! I will sue you. :(

kinan,
Of course i'm not gonna let something stupid frustrates me but the thing this, i think there are few decent men left to respect a girl for what she is rather for what she looks. This is world is full appearances; i think i'm gonna start a campaign ;p

elijah,
Hell no, i'm not gonna be voted on to make sure whether i'm pretty on not (NOT TO BRAG)... not like some people ofcourse "hiiiint" xp
And i agree with you with the raping thing, not eyes but with thoughts as well.

the criticizer,
I never mind those stupid retards but makes me miss the old kuwaiti men where they used to be full of responsibility, decency, fear and respect.

eff..Its always gonna be a dilemma for us guys till eternity. If you don't flirt girls, some would say you're as cold as stone and you don't appreciate beauty. and if you do, then you might be rude and offending them...

Personally, I appreciate beauty and people who knows how to show it, no matter what kind of beauty it is. And for me, nothing is as good as a smile .

LOL Mac, I should've asked for ur permission first, Sorry 'angelic look'

Yes, men are stupid, and their brain is relocated to a different organ.

I can understand your frustration because I have a sister and I know how she feels, and even what I feel, when someone goes hollering at her like that

Ms Loala said...

lol KJ ;p
It is frustrating indeed but one can't do nothing about it.
Take care of your sister ;)
