I have a close Middle-Eastern friend who lives in Europe. He's lived in Europe for a long, long time and he's quite fully integrated there. He's your average Joe, a real nice guy, and honestly, if it wasn't for his skin color, you wouldn't know the difference between him and any other westerner.
We were talking the other day, and he told me how it is almost impossible for him to get into any nightclubs where he lives. Apparently the bouncers over there have a very strict policy on who to let in and who not to let in. No Middle Easterners, no fat women, no ugly women. It's just that simple. And I don't like it.
Why is it that nightclubs need to be filled with only commonly beautiful people. Why do we need to conform to some kind of look to be deemed beautiful? If God created us in his image, aren't we all beautiful? The beauty of mankind is in our individuality, that we are all uniquely different, and the fact that there are different tastes out there really means that everyone is beautiful, that in someone's eyes, everyone is beautiful.
Then why do we constantly try to change ourselves into something that we are not? I blame the media and the constant bombardment of all those models who starve themselves for a living.

I am not sure what the reason is, but I agree with you.
I am pretty sure that if people wanted to see ugly people they would stay home and watch tv.
Ya what he said! lol.....everyone has beautiful qualities of some kind and the ones that don't see it probably have more insecurities than the imperfections of the person they are judging!
