Breaking Down the Myth: Is It Possible to Love An "Ugly" Person?

You can fall for a guy like this, can't you?

Ben Johnson wrote, "Our beauty is not ours," in a play. There are a ton of cliche's in regard to "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I currently teach at a local community college and in the midst of a lecture on exemplification and the process of writing a well developed paragraph, an interesting statement was made, by a young lady. We were discussing the fact that you can not generalize in a paragraph. In other words you can't say "All men are dogs." That is a generalization and it can not be proven. In other words, this sentence actually hurts the discussion in a paragraph. It's obvious why, but after we discussed this, I said that it would be better to say, "in my experience most men are dogs." I am moving away from the point though. In some way we moved into a discussion on beauty and looks for both men and women. My student stated, that she could never love an ugly man, it didn't matter if he was rich. I said I couldn't trust that statement and we went off track for another five minutes before getting back on track.

THE GAME

Why do we love The Game so friggin much? Maybe because it's one of a very few shows that features a majority African American cast that doesn't make us feel ashamed (or is it just me that can't sit through an show of Tyler Perry's episodic let downs?)

The spin-off to the hit show Girlfriends, is finally coming off of it's two year hiatus and the media says that the fans are part of the reason for bringing the show back. After they took Girlfriends away from us in a conclusionless season, we wouldn't allow that to happen again.

Regardless of the behind the scenes and business end of why the show change networks is really irrelevant to us. All we wanna know if, what happens after Kelly and Jason got a divorce? Who keeps Britt-Bratt? Is that really Derwin's Baby? Who Tasha snappin' on next? (They say I'm lous, brash, and ghetto. They forgot BALLIN') Is Malik ever gonna change? How is Melanie juggling her career and being a wife.

After two years, I am so geeked and people I don't even know on facebook, comment under my status (which have been devoted to the hit show). I've changed my profile pic and everything.
