Self Image of Self

When you walk down the street and people look at you, how do you think they perceive you? Do people stare at you in awe or do they stare in disgust because you lack an image that society is used to having for each individual? What impression do you want to give out to people when you walk down the street? Do you care what you look like? Do you think your image if poor, portrays you in a bad light? It certainly, does not have to be the way you dress. It could be as simple as your posture or the way you speak.

The way you look is certainly important in a society like ours. What if some people don’t care about what they look like? What if some ignore to take care of their basic grooming, do you think they will do better or worse in our society? I am wondering if our Self-Image is important to people. From what I have observed, it seems to be very important. It seems nowadays; even if you have, chest hairs that are visible on your body, it could make a woman feel like upchucking or worse pointing and laughing.

It seems that our culture has changed dramatically in the last few decades. Things that were attractive decades ago seem to be unpalatable or just plain stomach-churning. It seems that being a man, is unattractive, nowadays. Today we focus less on masculine men and more on how long a man’s eyebrows are. Has the media become more powerful and more aggressive? I believe so. Why is it that if a man has not taken care of his eyebrows he is less attractive in women’s eyes?

Are we moving to a society that uses aggressive marketing in order to make profit? How much longer can we take, before we start using our common sense? Why is that women cannot choose who is attractive and who is not on their own? Why do they need Magazines, Televisions, Internet and other media outlets, to make their decisions for them? It could be the comfort in everything being chosen for them and it is easier to follow along, than make their own decisions. The easier things are the more people want it and desire whatever is being offered.

Will our society continue to disintegrate before it becomes noticeable is a question I ask daily. I suppose most of us will continue observing and questioning, hopefully, the questions asked lead to answers somewhere before our self-destruction.
