Exchange my life with yours, anyone?

I recently saw a social experiment the other night. Two groups of ladies in their 20's were called to participate in an experiment. One girl in the A group has oily face with zits, unruly greasy hair, "excess" saddle bags on the side of the legs, dry skin, crooked teeth, hunched shoulders, witch nose, eyebags and an "unbroken" eyebrows to name a few which results in low self-esteem. For some reasons, these "traits" affects their personal life because most men prefer beautiful women. In other words, group A is unattractive in today's standards . The other group is "immaculate" wherein they are the exact opposite in appearance. They have flawlessly radiant skin, nicely-shaped body contours, no skin blemishes, well-styled hair and nice set of teeth. These group exudes self-confidence and life. The unattractive group were told to change the physical appearance of the other group by telling the host what they want to make them look ugly. At the same time, removing all the things that make them undesirable. They both agreed to do the experiment. By calling in professional make up artists to do a make-over, the attractive girls were fitted with dental braces, big acnes on the forehead, prosthetic saddle bags, eyebags, nose bridge extensions, made their face oily, bad make up and poor choice of clothes to achieve the purpose of making them ugly and older. On the other hand, the undesirables were gorgeously and beautifully made up that to their surprise it made them feel good about themselves. I was only watching the program but I can tell both groups that a simple make up really changed their outlook physically and emotionally. Next, the "new ugly girls" were told to hit the malls and observe the reaction of people whom they meet in the process. Lo and behold, people stare at them like they were stricken with some kind of deadly disease. On the "new girls next door group", most people they meet glance either secretly or is bewitched by their beauty. Next, both groups were taken to a bar restaurant and told to mingle with the boys. Surely enough, the "new ugly group" was laughed at and one of the girls was even ridiculed by a man asking if she is a clown. Luckily, the host is present to defend the ladies and prevent any more "mockings". My heart bled for them. Well,you can guess what happened with the "new beautiful girls". Every man they meet wants to have be closer to them, ask for their contact numbers and mingle for longer periods. The one thing I noticed is that they now have the ability talk with new friends, even flirting with the boys infront of the "ugy girls", who, by this time are confined to the dark corner of the bar, licking their wounds. You can just imagine the disappointment by the "new ugly girls".One of them even cried and was quoted saying "I don't want the girls to feel what this way" pertaining to the way they were treated just for being "ugly" Why am I telling you this? Some people in our society right now never had the time to assess their blessings, much less feel for others. I am really touched by that show and up to now is clearly imprinted to my mind. Hope we care more regarding other people's feelings. Do you?
