After reading the article about the woman who thinks she's all that and a bag of chips, and how she has no girl friends because they all hate her for her beauty I suddenly realized that ALL my good friends are beautiful.

I think I make conscious choice to pick only pretty friends. Although I know it may sound vain, I know I'd be embarrassed to be seen w/ some1 who is ugly.

Now to define "pretty friends" they don't have to be a size 4, or be blond... but they usually take care of themselves and are presentable. I have heavier friends and very skinny friends, blond friends and brunets, but all of them are beautiful and several I consider drop dead (& that's not even a title I would give myself, although I'm confident in my looks). Some even shave their heads and wear turnbans. (I think in truth, all of them are beautiful because they're just wonderful ppl, but I still think they're pretty out side as well)

the kind of friends I do not have are those who smell, are unkempt, have dirty fingernails, wear stained clothes, are obnoxious, rude & act provocatively, and make bad drunks etc...

the "prettyer" the girl, the more I'm "proud" to have her as a friend.

Am I the only one whose like this? don't all women want pretty girlfriends?

I'd have a desire to get beauty recommendations, but not friendship, from pretty women.

I'd want to befriend women with beautiful hearts, no matter what their appearance.

PS - this week my fingernails keep getting really dirty for some reason.....

I don't know. It's kind of mysterious how we become, and stay, friends. It's not really about specific qualities.

yeah I didn't mean dirty because of cleaning or whatever.... I've personally gotten only 3 manicures in the last 4.5 years (one of them was for my own wedding), and I should add, that I chew my nails so they're deffinetly no model material, mayb should have changed that line... the point was ppl who are shlumfy

My teeth aren't white, or straight, and they are tiny, and goofy looking. I guess I'll warn anyone before I come to town. I don't want to 'offend' anyone with my non-Angelina Jolie looks. Rolling Eyes

Seriously? Is this high school or something? My friends are my friends. Regardless of looks. I don't really think about it or analyze my friends appearances.

I like people with confidence, and women are more likely to be confident if they're beautiful - or maybe it's the other way around, and everyone perceives them as beautiful because of their confidence in themselves.

OP, I guess we can't be friends.

I kinda think it's a bit shallow, honestly. Who cares how someone looks? I know plenty of gorgeous girls, and I wouldn't want to be friends with any of them. Sometimes, beauty is only skin deep.

I'm fat, have awful teeth, pale skin, and thin lips. My nails are clean and I wear clean clothes. But I'll give my friend the shirt off my back.

my choice in the poll would be "I could care less about how they look. Whats important is who they are"

^This. I want this as my vote. None of the other answers fit.

Arcy, people usually view the people they love as beautiful. And even when there are no redeeming physical features we like the way they look because as people they bring out good feelings in us. So it's possible you chose your friends first and once you became good friends they look beautiful to you.

Where are you getting drunk in Monsey? I am presentable. Can I join the party?

"Some even shave their heads and wear turnbans."

I found that pretty (pun intended) amusing. EVEN with their shaven heads they are pretty.

What does beauty have to do with friendship? A spouse needs to be attracted to each other, but friends just need to be compatible in some way IMO.

You need to add an option for people who pick their friends because they like them as people.

I thought about it last night and I came to the same conclusion... there was one person I got to know, and most ppl do not think she's the most attractive, (she's heavy set, does not have a clear face, her teeth are no comparison to Angie) but I think she's totally beautiful!! She's got the most awesome personality and the whole room sparks up when she walks in. To me, she beautiful (I've even argued this w/ some1 way back in school)...

so I guess your right. :-) the prettier the heart, the more beautiful the face!

Whenever I see someone really pretty, I always expect her to be snobby too. I know I'm wrong, but that's just the way I feel initially.

These are things that usually go with being socially inept and/or not caring enough about social norms to make an effort.

People who are socially inept or just don't care can be awesome friends - to the right kind of person. But there are people who would find it hard to be friends with them, and that's fine too.
