Just curious, do you consider yourself pretty? Do others perceive you as pretty? What constitutes someone being pretty as opposed to beautiful or plain? .................

depending who you ask... DH says I''M GORGEOUS... but I beg to differ.. i''m just ehh so so.. and very still self conscious... maybe its because of that darn aunt back when I was 14 who stated bluntly that my sister was prettier than me(who says that?) and that totally has been sitting in my brain, can''t get rid of it, even though she has passed away... Speaking of blunt darn asians
seriously... sorry butterfly slight threadjack.. but I mean don''t they know what a potential devasting effect their comments have on kids or preteens... I''m super conscious about it with my own kids and their cousins, I know what it feels like, and hope to not ever do that to any other kids in the family.Date: 5/16/2009 10:02:55 PM

Haha! My aunts and relatives (and my parents) used to call me fat and chubby ALLLLL the time. Not in a mean way per se, it''d be like ''aw, look at those chubby cheeks!'' or they''d call me by nicknames like ''chubby bunny''. They''ve laid off recently, probably because I''ve slimmed down a bit. But yeah, I don''t know if it''s an asian thing, but everytime I go back there, the first comment I hear from anyone is either about how much weight I''ve gained or lost, haha. It''s made me totally desensitized to telling people how much I weigh.
that is how I feel about people too! I can meet someone who is pretty but then to get to know them and they have a good heartDate: 5/17/2009 12:05:35 AM

Pretty or beautiful I would use to describe people the same way, but someone I barely know is 'pretty' while someone I know quite well and think is pretty would be 'beautiful'.

I agree everyone is pretty to someoneSeriously though I have seen lots of pics on PS of people and everyone I have see is quite beautiful!!!

I think everyone is pretty to someone.
I feel like I have ''ugly'' days and ''pretty'' days. I no longer go out of the house without make-up because I just don''t feel attractive without it. My husband thinks I don''t need it. He is biased so I don''t count his vote!
