Throughout my life I've seen folks of little substance use their sex appeal and looks to skate through life. Using others or getting a easier "break" because of their outward appearance.
Ironically, they may spend hours in the gym, keeping to a strict diet, and social schedule. Yet all the while, they are starving their character in a shallow wading pool of recycled sound bites and little to no intellectual or emotional intelligence.
I could be wrong, but so far in this version of my current life this seems to be 95% of the NPCs I'm running into now a days.
It is truly sad.
I’ve never been beautiful, though I had a few years of cuteness in college.
I went to one high school reunion only, the first one at 10 years. It was so much like school, and so predictable, that it was depressing and sad. The popular, get by on looks and athletic talent crowd were starting to get doses of reality...and feeling the pressure.
I’m just me: that good news/bad news joke: I am pretty much who I say I am. If I look nice, great. If I don’t or can’t, oh well. Life goes on. It’s more important to be a kind and decent person!
@LetzGetReal I am the daughter of a narcissistic mother(DONM); many like me are either overachievers or underachievers. Some are a mixture, which I am. I was both ridiculed and pushed to excel, so I only did well in things -I- cared about. Otherwise, I could give a fuck. The harder she pushed, the more stubborn I was! I hated how superficial and caught up in ‘appearances’ she was.
Not that it’s bad to be beautiful, talented, intelligent...those are all good. I valued being my own person first and foremost, I think.
My brothers had the combo of looks, brains, athletics, and achievements.
Strict diet? ..... Or not making healthy choices? Aren't those the only real choices we have in these times of overabundance of "bad" food? It's a war that's being waged on people. I really don't understand how it's beyond people's grasp to know that. Maybe the "young & beautiful" are simply aware

If a woman is beautiful but dumb, she is boring. If she's beautiful but bright, she's frightening.
I have met many beautiful but boring women because their looks have allowed them to skate by & they haven't been challenged to develop their personality. This principle applies to good looking men too, not to be sexist.
As I have gotten older, I've become more adept at not being enamored by a person's surface, but trying to know their real character. This is a benefit of the gonads dying down, as well as the accumulation of experience with people.
If she's frightening, she's also exciting. At least I won't be bored
Age appropriate first off!
Not a adrenaline junkie!
Not over weight to the point of obsese!
Looking for one to save them, both emotionally and financially!
It seems too many want the fantasy, instead of the reality!
We are set in so many ways because of our previous failures and successes!
When Elvis left the building a long time ago, yet we are still trying to revive that lost mind set!
This is a mismatch but too true too ignore!
what is an NPC?? And yea often gym rats or those primarily concerned with their looks tend to neglect their most powerful organ: their brains.... their bodies may be fit but their brains are out of shape, so to speak. It is those few gems that have found a good balance between working on their bodies and their brains
Teheehee
NPC is a gamer phrase
Uber nerd word
Non Player Character
Basically a computer playing an in game character
@darthfaja oooh yughhh that's why I didn't know it.... dislike gaming culture... sorry not sorry xD
@demifeministgal
Totally understand
Haha
You’re better off without it
Terrible time waster
@darthfaja also money waster... consoles and games cost soo much damn money... it would hurt my frugal heart to be a gamer
