When we look at the mass media everyday,we will always attract by beautiful things.All the models of advertisement and anything appear on TV,it is always one feeling : beautiful and nice looking.But when we look closer to those singers and TV artists life through those" always wrong but sometimes right magazines ",we always get upset with a beautiful girl who has an ugly heart inside or sometimes a handsome actor but with a terrible mind all the times.However,things maybe differnt in our real life.Sometimes you may encounter someone whom you will never say this perosn is beauty ot handsome.But in personality ,he or she is such a good and nice person to be with.I am not sure if you have such encounter before.If you did,share with us.

You need to know the definition of ugly first. Generally, we think any person with small eyes, fat nose, black face with pimples on it, but that's our perception. If there was a concept of calling a person with such looks as beautiful, then beautiful people as we know them today, would be considered ugly. I have met people who didn't as we wanted them to, but they were nice people, good from inside, having positive approach and were kind and helpful.

ehsanji, it might be cultural because that's the first time I heard that "black face" is part of ugliness. In America, there are certain characteristics fed by the mass media that helps define someone as ugly. So here, it can be a extremely black person (with other characteristics) or it can be an extremely white person (who looks almost like a corpse) that would be seen by many as being ugly.

Hi, wildlittlefan. There was this girl that I was really good friends with in high school. She was not pretty at all. But she made me laugh when we hung out together. She knew how to make a joke with me too. She was so much of fun to be around. She had a beautiful heart. I think that it is very messed up when you have someone with a ugly face and an ugly heart.

I havnt met her but we do chat online for hours. Initially she was very hesitant in sending me her photograph online.As she is not good looking, and was afraid that i wont talk with her if i saw her. Believe me she is so good in talking that one can talk to her hours and hours.Its been 2 years now, but we still share the same friendly relation as it was 2 years back. It really doesnt matter how one looks. believe me.. :)

"Beauty is only skin deep, but ugliness is clear to the bone," is an old saying my friend used to quote. I hate that society defines what is beautiful. It sort of effected who I dated when I was younger. Yes, a person with an ugly face as defined by society or the world, is very beautiful inside and I've met many of them. And once I've gotten to know some of them, I grew to like some characteritics of them that made them not look as ugly as I'd originally thought they were. And also from my experiences, some people who might be called ugly, are the best lovers. Some of them put more into the experience of "rocking your world."

Beauty is relative. A person may be beautiful to you but not as attractive to me. Whenever I meet or talk to someone, I always try to remind myself that he/she is God's creation and everything that God created is beautiful. I still believe that attitude/behavior is just a product of someone's upbringing and the effect of environment where he/she lived.

I would say no, I have not. But I have met people who doesn't look appealing (beautiful/handsome) but with a good heart. Thus, first impression is important, but the person character is the priority. I remembered on several occasions I always hear comments about my friends not appealing from other friends. But I don't see them that way, I thinks they looks beautiful to me. I shared this topic with my friend and she told me it's not because of how he/she looks that makes us think they are beautiful but it's through the things that they did (which we see/know) that brings out their beauty to us. I think it's very true. A lot of films have been there and portrayed it out for us to see. Shallow Hal is indeed one of those that I remembered.

Actually, I havent. You see, most ugly people hates people with pretty face, and they've been hiding that feeling for years. Until they easily gets offended by the slightest joke around them about most of anything. They also became more sensitive.So they became grumpier and unhappy, not fun to be around to. But of course not all of them are like that. I just havent met someone ugly with a good personality, they should be many though...

I don't meet someone with an ugly face but a beautiful heart. Many people will hold the opinion that good appearance is not important, but it is only theory. The people just only keep the theory. But once they are in the real situation, you will choose the latter one, namely good looking. I meet so many people that good appearance is one of significant principle when choose girlfriend.

Beauty does not own Goodness nor the ugliest doesn't even own it. The fact is, may it be beautiful, handsome or ugly, we can never judge a certain individual by its looks on wethere He/she is good or bad. Either can be one, the very important thing is that we don't generalized that appearance makes a man good or bad.

Yes, my son. He is 16 years old and while he is not ugly he is physically disabled but he has the most beautiful and forgiving heart and soul that I have ever met. You would be hard pressed to find someone that literally turns the other cheek when someone stares or says something nasty to him but he does and at times he has even made excuses for these ignorant people, saying they have not found their inner beauty. I on the other hand am more inclined to give these people a taste of their own medicine and put them in their place. My son is my hero and I love him very much.

I sure have met few like those, we are like the best friends! Always together. I also had the honor( or misfortune, read it the way you like) to meet persons whose faces are not the only ugly thing but also their heart, and lets start talk about how shallow them mind is, I am pretty sure they hear echos inside them heads.

You know, am just wondeering what you consider ugly. As u may know, there is no objective measure for beauty; for beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Since in my dictionary there is no such a word as ugly, sorry, i never mat one.

Good looks can attract people but the real thing is inside. I would not say ugly but um average looking like myself he he, well yeah i have come across many such people. In fact gorgeous people are commonly arrogant too.

I have to admit that I was a bit appalled and taken aback a a slight bit offended at the title of this disscussion. The outside has nothing to do wit how somone truly is on the inside! Sure, their insides may be affected based on their outsides. In the sense that they amy get attitudes or self-esteem boosts/killers due to their good or bad outsides (due to their own self-portraits) but that dosnt dicatye to the letter how they are in the department of character. Pretty dosnt mean nice and neaither does ugly. Every person is different,. Some people fit the steriotype of pretty, nice school leader type while others fit the pretty, mean cheerleader steryotype. On the other hand, you dont always meet the ugly cristian with the heart of gold nor the ugly and mean goth girl. People steryotype and then forget that these are real people whio may not be tyaht steryotype in full that we have labelled them as. Youc an say some is beautiful in apperance and beauitiful in character and spirirt. It depends on the person I guess.

Well, many rich and famous people are actually beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. Many do great charity work and are beautiful all the way around. Others are like you said, ugly on the inside. Personally, I don't think anyone has an ugly face. Sometimes a decent hair cut, a clean shave, a change of clothes and style is all it takes to bring out the best in a person. Look at Susan Boyle before and after. A little change can go a long ways to improving personal appearance. Also keep in mind that many celebrities look great because of heavy make up, photoshop editing and HD cameras. A lot of them do not look the same in person or when they wake up in the morning! Real beauty radiates from within and is contagious. That doesn't mean we quit working on the outside as well. Just like your home, you clean it on the inside but you have to take care of the roof, the walls, the windows, the yard, etc. to make your home completely nice. To me, all people are beautiful until proven otherwise. Not by their looks but rather by their actions.

Certainly there's many people have a nice heart inside without an beautiful face.while..to be honest,I always judge a people by his/her appearance,I know this is not right,but it's a nature that always like peoples have good look.But I don't deny that many people who are ugly are very kindly inside.
