Beauty only came into existence with the advent of the internet.

We are always taught that our talents are a gift from Hashem and they should be used. I don’t think He wants this guy being a model but,
Is his beauty a waste? |
No because for one he beautifies the world around him. Take yourself as an example.
And his wife, especially if she is a typical Israeli, appreciates his beauty all the more so.

And to think that a beautiful person is only put to good use if s/he is in Silicone Valley makes me sad.

What the internet says is beautiful? If that were true, what value is that to anyone? What would someone be missing by not knowing "the internet standard of beauty".
Also, I don't know what world you come from or why you're so unfamiliar with the chareidi lifestyle, but chareidi women do see men daily, and interact with them as well. Maybe not in the same way other groups of people do, but your assertion is absurd. They're not kept in pods until they get married and lay eyes on their DH, the first man they have ever seen since birth. Is this thread real? |
Hold it hold.
Wanna know which world I come from?
I come from and still am in the very chassidishe ultra orthodox world.
And I repeat, some of my friends, family members, neighbors would not know or even allow themselves to think along these lines.

I'm confused by this thread. It's sad that a young man is traveling overseas (especially amid today's chaos) to collect for his impoverished family. I'm confused what his looks have to do with any of it. Also, so what if his wife doesn't know how he stacks up against the average guy's looks? One day he won't be 25 anymore, or 50, or 75... good looks don't last. Also, true beauty emanates from within. I know that sounds trite and cliche, but there's truth to it. I went to high school with a male model (who was actively modeling during high school). When I first saw him from across the room I thought he was very attractive. The second I got a glimpse of how he went about his life = attraction all gone. He still had the same features, but any attraction was totally stomped out. OP also pointed out his eyes... windows to the soul. This guy sounds more like he had a "presence" than a model physique. Doesn't mean he isn't attractive. Charm is different though. I know know, I could be rambling. This just seems like an incredibly superficial way to sum somebody up and speculative about the what-could-have-beens in their life. (It's natural to wonder about random stuff sometimes, I'm not judging that part, just adding my two cents.)

You are naive.
My chassidish friends with hats and beige tights and all recognize a hottie when they see one.

Isn't the purpose of beauty to be used by a large corporation to sell products to nondiscerning consumers who confuse the model's attractiveness with the value of the product? Like, isn't that the specific reason Hashem created beauty?
Like it's right there in pirkei avot. Who is admirable? Who objectifies his beauty to sell toothpaste for Crest.

Its really really hard to be a model op! Not a get rich quick and easy path. As an aside I know of a previous model who became a baal teshuva and now lives a much happier yet poor lifestyle, also a gorgeous man...he dropped his old ways, had risen to the top and saw it was all nothing and ugly

Also, feel free to dream for all the tzedaka collectors and not just the ones with high cheekbones and piercing eyes. For all you know, that guy is just capitalizing on how people are more susceptible to fall for pretty people. |
True.
This was just my post long Sunday musings.
I seem to have gotten myself into trouble with some of you.
Sorry.

Interesting that you objectified the guy immediately "despite" your background and yet you're convinced that others in your community are incapable.

Also true. And staying current is a whole other issue. The modeling world drops people left and right for basically no reason and then they're done. Same with any entertainment field. Five minutes out of the limelight and you're old news, forgotten.... unemployed.
