[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 460691, member: 135"] While it may be true that looks may get your foot in the door, if you don't have the skills to back it up,in most jobs you'll soon find yourself on the street again. I don't believe you should go places looking like a sick dog. I dye my hair, use makeup, watch my weight, try to dress appropriately, etc. I tried to teach my kids to comb their hair, brush their teeth, wear clean clothes, and go looking like they were aware that they might be judged by how they looked to some extent. But I would much rather use my time, effort, and money to develop my kids' skills and intelligence than teach them to spend their time obsessing about their looks and developing the idea that looks matter more than substance. In a world where most kids (girls especially) are insecure about their looks, we have epidemics of both anorexia and obesity, good role models are hard to find, and the media have gone nuts, it is up to thinking adults to try to steer kids in the direction of giving them something to feel good about besides the superficialities.
