[quote=GUEST19216,262862]It's not such a bad thing to look at yourself in the mirror.  I like it when a guy takes the time and effort to look nice, smell nice, and be physically fit.  It seems like a kind of courtesy for their woman too, since we women have been doing this to please men for a long time.  I know that people are busy and don't always have the time to take care of themselves, but I like guys who make an effort to look nice, particularly since it's the first thing I notice.  It always has benefits in their personal and professional life.

I think that if you don't try to please others, then you shouldn't complain when they don't give you attention.  (i.e. people who don't try to dress nice or groom themselves well, and wonder why they are not popular with the opposite sex.)

In the long run, it is the person's character that matters the most.

One thing that interests me, is "Are Chinese people obsessed with physical appearances?"  There's an article in the December issue of the Economist, that is about how when it comes to beauty, those who have more are given more, throughout their lives.  As it says in the Bible, to those who have will be given more.   Beauty is what's called an "unfakeable signal" in biology, meaning it reveals good genes and whether someone will make a good partner to reproduce with.

In North America, studies show that ugliness has a career penalty and beauty has a career reward.  When they look at salaries, ugly people make 5% lower salaires, beautiful people 4% more.  In Britain, ugly men are penalized around -11%.  In China, this is where the numbers are staggering.  In Shanghai, ugly men make 25% less and only about 2% more if they are handsome.  Ugly women are also heavily, around 20%, and rewarded over 15% higher salary.  Cosmetics can help certainly in this department, but it is said that for every dollar spent, only 15 cents of that investment brings an equal return.  (ie its an inefficient way of trying to improve your career).   However, cosmetics may help in one's love life, where the study did not measure...  So... you know what, I personally do not focus too much on looks when it comes to friends, but in my mind, beauty is more than skin deep because it really can change your entire life and bless you if you have more of it.
