125. maybe women don't give a shit what other people think of their "beauty" ... why should they?

so perhaps it's not a compliment for a stranger to say they think she's hot.

if i don't know "you," i could not give a flying fuck if you think i'm hot or not. i feel good about myself whether i get "compliments" from strangers or not.

why do so many people put so much stock in whether or not other people think they are hot and fuckable? especially strangers?

let's see, how long before i'm accused of being ugly, jealous, fat, feminazi, and against sex ... waiting for the usual slurs from the usual suspects
