it is not just standards going up, but actual beauty is going into the toilet. have you seen obesity rates? and now most of everybody thinks it is their duty to mutilate themselves as much as possible with their diet, tattoos, and piercings. i saw someone with wine corks in their ears. i don't think it has much to do with my standards. as much as people are going out of their way to uglify themselves, the majority are even worse inside, ignorant, spiteful, deceitful and vindictive. it is not everyone, but i'm tired of looking. i don't need a scrawny chick who runs screaming at the sight of a burger, but someone who isn't actively trying to destroy themselves would be nice.
