appearances

Perfect skin on a guy! The fox would certainly love to have skin like that.


as men in general, appearances are very important to us. there is always something about how a person looks that would influence our judgement of that person. When dealing with people appearances always come first, and you can easily modify your appearance to bring the desired effect on people. It's even more important if you happen to be PLU. There is this need to always appear to be good, picking on every little flaw you have and repairing it. It's always the body or the hair, or the face that needs fixing to look like the picture perfect model of yourself. Sometimes it's the clothes. And because of this, there's the gym, the clothes, the skincare, the proper shampoo, the good stylist, etc, etc etc................

and we call these our needs.

but in reality do we really need this to have a good appearance? Or sometimes, would it be as simple as keeping the food we eat in check and having a positive attitude? I'd say it's a combination of both and its a 50/50 thing. First half would be the attitude and personality, followed by appearance. Average looking foxes like me have all the attitude and personality but is sorely lacking in appearance. Thats why need to make up for it with gymming, skincare, diet and so forth :(

It's because society demands its members to be presentable and neat to make an impression. And impressions can go far and carry us to faraway places either in the workplace or with friends. That is why.

But why do PLU guys tend to overdo the whole thing? Is it an obsession or because we're like women in a man's body?

or is it because, we need to work hard to impress other guys? or make our competitors jealous? is it an insecurity?

But anyhoo, the fox is totally smitten with getting clear and good skin. It all started when he saw his course trainer's boyfriend who had impossibly perfect skin for a guy on the face. No flaws! He's tried aesop and now wants to get it but it's waaay too expensive (at least at the moment). First the LV sling bag and now this?! what's wrong with the fox?! he has never acted this way before >_<" is he starting to lose his mind? The fox is really clueless now...

  1. Not only is the society that make us be so attentive to our appearance, the biggest part is the advertising gimmick. The make-believe ads we see on TV, posters, billboard, TV show, etc. make us all want to look like them.

    And that in turn, boost all the businessmen into manufacturing products that claim to give you the flawless perfect look you've always wanted.

  2. haha for me its always the try before i buy. i'd usually stalk, er, consult the salesperson for samples as my &^%&%&^^ skin tends to a) dry out b) get incredibly oily or c) turns dull and haggardly. which in turn makes me look permanently sad or blur even tho i am not.

    if it works i would be using it and once i get what i want will stop using it until i need it again..

  3. I have the same opinion as that eggtart. The media has some how brain washed us to their marketing needs.

  5. Even though we don't judge the book by its cover, but before even we read the book, the cover must be attractive enough for you to open it. Of course the title too! It can be unfair, but inevitable...more so for plu, esp at the first glance!
