I went thru that whole, impress others phase when I was a tad bit younger. Now, I can honestly say that I do what I do for me. My definition of beauty is not influenced by anyone, mostly what I think is beautiful... those around me think isn't.
i wish i could say the same for myself. if this is truly how you are, then that is amazing. i imagine the vast majority of the world is influenced somewhat by other people's perceptions of beautiful.
i know i want to be considered attractive by most women. i also think that maybe part of the reason why i think skinny women are beautiful is because society makes that a big deal. and back in the old days fatter women were more ideal.
id like to believe that im not influenced by society, but studies that have been done provide evidence that we've been hypnotized
