Question.

Something important to my heart came to me as I read the conversations back and forth. Just think if you were a girl reading these posts, and because of the world's pressures you felt ugly because of the playboy girls and models and newest fashions out today. You wouldn't feel very good.

According to Proverbs, there is no such thing as an ugly girl. Proverbs 31:10-31 gives an excellent admonishment and wonderment to find someone who is beautiful from the inside. Because HER worth is more precious than jewels.

Wow, it's encouraging to see this kind of response from a male. I've definitely experienced that feeling you speak of. I don't know about the Proverbs 31 woman... In the passage, a comparison is being made yet again between a "good" woman and a "bad" woman. The Proverbs woman comes off to me as a bit of a workaholic... not my personality. Maybe a look at the context will render it more applicable? I guess the point is that her love of God is what makes her beautiful, not her body. Though of course, it's important to try to maintain one's outside appearance. By no means should we let ourselves go... getting off topic... I digress.

hmm maybe i shouldn't have made the ugly girl crack i wasn't thinking of others.

all the same, you can't let what other people say get to you like that. this world will CHEW you up and spit you out if you don't get ahold of yourself and see yourself as a strong wonderful human being! and you are! he was right, there are NO ugly girls!

My sister and her husband and her children are constantly saying stuff like to me and sometimes it hurts my feelings, but after a while i grew a tougher skin and now it doesn't bother me so much. I dish it out as much as i take it trust me, my opinion is is that you need to be able to take a hit. Now don't get me wrong, i know some people can't so I try not to say anything like that to people I don't know. if your a stranger, i try to treat you with christian love and respect your feelings, but if i know you i might rib you a little and call you ugly. completely in jest.

none the less, i need to be more careful around people who arn't my relative or a close friend i've known for years. people need to be respected, and the ugly girl crack will hurt feelings, thats not good.

let yourself go sister! Stop showering and wear clothes that don't fit and have holes in them! you will be accepted for who you are no matter what, you will still be beautiful to me.

Biblically, we are not to be un equally yoked, meaning basically we should only seek those whose faith in GOD is #1 priority as ours is (or should be). I said 'whoa that was fast' too .... The catholic church would require you to conform to their ways, or the marraige would not be condoned by them.
