Surely the social stigma that goes with people being short and all of the implications that go with that are a lot more damaging to self esteem than having grey eyes? I don't know what point you were trying to make. Also, having grey eyes is a rather factual thing, whereas whether or not a certain person is short or not is a moot point, unless you're going by the worldwide average height, which is constantly varying, as is the nature of living things.
A person's height, no matter how much you think it should or should not matter, DOES matter. For instance, particularly tall girls generally (as in not all of them) find it difficult to date guys who are smaller than them, as people see it as unfeminine. The same goes with the ego of a guy who's dating a girl who's a deal taller than him.
I gotta agree with ren on this one. It kinda surprised me that you didn't realize it.
Totally reminds me of
Lovely Complex

To be honest, and apologies if people don't want me speaking for them, I think I speak for the vast majority of the forum when I suggest you go find a different playground to kick dirt around in.
I kinda feel the same way, although I really would hate to admit it because I don't like making people feel not welcome in any community.
adwuga, you just need to chill out on the randomness. You tend to insult people, say incoherent things, and post somewhat off-putting things (such as a furry action avatar)
Some randomness can be fun for a while, but too much randomness just gets tiresome. Add insults and people will definitely get upset with you.
If you just chill out and contribute to the conversation occasionally rather than try to say the most random thing that can come to your head you will be more liked.
I find that using your anonymity to being more open about your opinions on subjects and expressing your feeling in a coherent way is a lot more rewarding than giving into the temptation of being an
Internet Fuckwad.
If
Renegade_Turner can change from a super troll to a regular user, you can too.

Having said that, no matter how much of a troll I ever was, I've never liked the coldness of the internet when it comes to people posting pictures of themselves, especially when people are actually brave enough to post pictures of their actual selves. When I see anyone who derives enjoyment out of belittling someone for something they're powerless to change in any immediate way, I see that person as part of an unfortunate facet of the human race. It's the same kind of mentality that causes people, to some degree, to seek reconstructive surgery so they can somehow feel like they're more acceptable.
There is variance in beauty from person to person. Although I think beauty is actually pretty standardized across a specific culture. Most importantly, beauty is generally determined by geometric relations and symmetry between eye, nose, ears, mouth, etc as well as overall body type.
As for the people who post their pictures ... I definitely respect them. I'm obviously insecure about my appearance to others online. Which is odd, because I will often go to class in sweat pants and a hoodie so I can sleep somewhere on campus between classes (usually in the mech student lounge) I guess the difference is that people don't walk up to you in public and say "you look like shit"
I've only shown pictures of me twice to people online. The first time I was fairly young and naive to the ways of the internet and was brutally harassed for how I was dressed (I was in football pajamas bottoms). The second time was to a girl I hit it off with.
