Beauty is on the Inside Or is That Just Something Ugly People Say?

While I was on Facebook over the weekend I saw someone's status message asking the question "Is beauty on the inside or is that just something ugly people say?" I thought that was a great question because many times I hear people saying that beauty is on the inside or it's what's on the inside that counts and time after time I disagree with that statement. I'm in no way saying that just because you're physically pretty means you will get away with being ugly on the inside.
 We've all seen movies like Mean Girls which show that the pretty girls are always the popular girls, all the boys like them and the "ugly girls" tend to be ridiculed and taken advantage of. Girls can be mean they will bully other girls for the stupidest things, like her hair has split ends, she has acne, she's too fat, and basically anything you can think of. Now even though doing stuff like that is ugly behavior the question is strictly about the psychical part of a person.
I will go out on  limb and say that I do feel as though the phrase Beauty is on the inside came from someone that wasn't that attractive and it is constantly being repeated by people who also are not that attractive. Before everyone bites my head off for that comment let me explain my reason for saying that.  
Firstly in a general sense, yes, beauty is something that we should all have on the inside but since I am speaking strictly about the physical and outer beauty today I believe that outer beauty is indeed very important. We live in a visual society, where we see all these models plastered across magazines and television daily. Whether we like it or not outer beauty is just as important as inner beauty because if you look a mess on the outside, who is going to take their time to get to know you on the inside? You can say that the right person will take their time to get to know you but how true is that?
We all judge, the same way you watched that woman in the coffee shop up and down and sideways this morning wondering why the heck she didn't put on makeup and iron her shit before she left the house, is the same way another woman was watching you wondering why you were wearing those cheap shoes and knockoff Louis Vuitton handbag acting like if no one can tell they're fake.

If we were to discuss men and how men view the seriousness of outer beauty you will see that it's also important to them. Men are drawn to women who look good. Point, blank, period. No man is going to go up to a woman thinking "Geez, she's UGLY but let me get to know her better first" I hate to pop your bubble, but Honey, that ain't happening. In order for a man to even begin to talk to a woman with hopes of getting to know her, he has to see something he likes first. That is why it's so important that we look good at all times.

"Boys think girls are like books, if the cover doesn't catch their eye, they won't bother to read what's inside." - Marylin Monroe

 You're not going to read a book if the cover doesn't catch your attention, you're not going to eat that plate of food unless it looks good and pulls you in for a taste, you're not going to buy those shoes unless it looks cute and in the process you may miss out on the most comfortable shoes of the century but you'll never know because it just wasn't as pretty as the pair next to it.
So don't hesitate to embrace your pretty. Don't focus on being beautiful on the inside so much that you forget your outside and vice verse. To be completely beautiful we must have beauty in and out. Beauty is about having a pretty mind, a pretty soul and a pretty heart.Work on both and perfect both,  An amazing personality and a beautiful smile will go a long way in this world, top it off with some killer looks and you will can't lose.  Outer beauty helps women grow inner confidence, so embrace the pretty both inside and out.
