Posted: 12/8/2005 7:57:20 PM | ezygoin...you have said what I now feel. love should be unconditional. Treat the other person in your life with fairness and gentleness. Respect and treasure each other. Consider each others opinions, hopes, dreams and look at each other and see the beauty inside and out. Each of you out there deserve the best... I love each of you... You are my heroes...   | |

Posted: 12/8/2005 9:26:14 PM | Dear Ladypagey, I can only assume that your husband was a wonderful man who gave you many years of marital bliss, but I must say, on the occassion you described here, he really flubbed it. We all do that sometimes. I'm sorry that you have held it in so long (assuming this is the first you've shared it)
In my view, my beauty is in my own eye. I try everyday to contribute to the world and people around me in a positive way. If I can look myself in the eye at the end of the day, and KNOW that I have done this to the best of my ability, the only opinion that matters to me is mine.
I have seen some of the most beautiful things in some (by society's standards) physically unattractive people.
And I looked at your picture. Baby, you can turn that smile my way any time!
A joke: If you have a bee in your hand, what do you have in your eye?...Beauty. Cause beauty is in the eye of the bee holder. lololol
You have a wonderful day Ladypagey, but more important, you have a wonderful life. | |

Posted: 12/13/2005 8:35:44 AM | | I THINK THAT YOU BOTH ARE ATTRACTED TO ONE ANOTHER AT ONE POINT BUT SOON APPRECIATE EACH OF YOUR INNER BEAUTY ,ACCEPTANCE .CARING .RESPECT AND KNOWING THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER.MATURITY HAS ALOT TO DO WITH IT AS PEOPLE SOON REALIZE THAT GOING FOR THE MODEL TYPE DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK OR EXIST. | |

Posted: 12/13/2005 2:42:36 PM | Dear Ladypagey,
I am confused, didn't you say that your husband married you so he could have sex with you?
As shallow as it may sound, I think that speaks volume in is attraction to you. I too have looked at your photo, you have beautiful features....and I bet that when you were married you were absolutely stunning. Your husband was mean at times....to me that says he was not very happy with himself, and what better way to make himself feel better then to hurt your self-esteem. It's sad that he couldn't see his beauty and had to make you feel bad in the process. I am going to wager a bet, that he did think you were beautiful, and maybe he thought that if he let you know that, you might leave.
There are so many ways this can be dissected.
You sound like a very strong and beautiful person.
And you WILL find that special someone.... | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 9:34:36 AM | tazette.. I hadn't checked this in awhile as there are so many other threads out there but I think why he picked me I was very naive for being 25. I had been sheltered from life and thusly had not a clue on the complexities of life. The love of his life had dumped him and married a man with money so to get revenge on her he decided to up and marry the youngest lady that would marry him... naive me...
Yes, eventually I will find that special someone......... | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 9:40:14 AM | Yes, very much so, we have next to no beauty but that is ok with us as this is what Yahweh (God) gave us, and after all we are made in his image.
I personally think you are very lovely. Kara
Yahweh thinks so also.

But yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that is what matters. He may have thought you were unattractive but there is someone out there who will think that you are the queen. | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 10:56:30 PM | @ladypagey,
Although I do not know you well I think you are beautiful. Your (supportive and insightful) posts here on the forums, your compassionate nature, the few comments we have shared via email all lead me to the inescapable fact that you are a beautiful woman.
To answer your question. I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think to truly appreciate beauty, however, a person needs to look at the world, at people, with an open mind and heart. They must not let the eye be tricked by mirages. Somethings, like money, physical attributes, possessions, etc might seem beautiful but in truth they vanish like so much smoke. True beauty can be found in words, actions, and in a ones personality. | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 11:03:01 PM | | Most definetly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What one may find attractive, another will find unattractive. I got that with my exes. I'd date them, and think they were good looking or cute. And my friends would say "But why, he's so ugly" Made me want to smack them, because it's not always what's on the outside that counts... it's whats on the inside that counts as well... and in my eyes they were beautiful. | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 11:18:49 PM | | simple truth... Thanks for the very supportive words.. I needed them.. Yes beauty, true beauty comes from inner and compassion and truly caring people. I think it also applies to men.. Their looks are based on the inner being and way they treat people with dignity and kindness and gentleness. True looks comes in all ages, weights, and consists of every person here. you all are wow in my eyes.. all beauties to behold. | |

Posted: 12/29/2005 6:23:49 PM | | In the last couple of weeks I have went thru some emotional roller coater rides with thoughts and some began to try my thoughts and some old ways of crawling into my safe and secure ways of handling love's cooling trends. | |

Posted: 1/12/2006 9:51:33 AM | | with the help of wise people here on pof I have learned a lot about the true meaning of beauty. Not just surface looks which can fade with time but the inner being that you have every day of whatever life you have. | |

Posted: 1/12/2006 12:12:22 PM | | Inner strength & harmony, confidence that "dictates" one's pace, smile in face that mirrors you as well balanced person, charm that not necessarily has to equal to beauty...these beauty traits are catching my eyes. | |
