"Something that's fake and on the internet? I need to go to wikipedia to understand what i'm feeling"

this is the pms talking.
i was watching this Oprah Winfrey episode a few weeks ago and it was about how women who were often complimented on their intelligence are more likely to face aging better compared to women who were only complimented on their outer beauty. It was also about how women who are prettier then to get things their way most of the time of not always.

Both the statements are true i suppose. i shall refer to this situation between these two friends of mine. I will not put their real names because i'm not sure that they read my blog and also change the story a little bit. no drama :) oh yes, this information is from a very very reliable source.

ok so both my friends Elaine and Jane are pretty and slim. also, both elaine and jane tend to attract the attention of guys whenever they go out or are in college. They also get tons of compliments on there profile pictures on facebook not to forget guys who write on their wall saying their pretty. However, of late there has been a little friction between the two girls. Whenever, they are..let's say the cafeteria, one would get jealous and bitter if the other got more attention from a guy(s).
Also, Elaine would wear earrings more than usual because some guy told her she was cute and give her free popcorn if she were to go to the movies. Of course, Jane is not happy about this.

So i think it is safe(?) to say that when these two girls became older, they would have problems dealing with aging.i mean i'm not saying that i have the highest self esteem but they are so used to people complimenting them all the time that i think if they walk pass a guy and he didn't look at her, it would be like the end of the world.
it's just really sad that they rely on people to compliment them to be happy about themselves.

it may sound like i'm bitter but i'm really not. they can have all the attention they want. i think i'm too used to people especially guys not telling me i look pretty that if someone complimented me, i would think they're being sarcastic and i would feel really awkward. fo sho.
