I definatly agree that we should never have to cover ourselves or in any way try to hide who we are!
I went through that as well, I stopped wearing makeup, having my hair cut at a beauty parlor, anything that I thought would help to stop receiving male attention, something that used to drive my ex husband insane. I grew to be extremely distrustful of all men, thought they were "all after the same thing". I'm so glad that I have come to realize how wrong that kind of thinking was, how hurtful it was to me, and to all the wonderful, kind men that I insulted in the process with my "all men suck" attitude.
I too, wished that men could see past the looks, which are so transient, (and also pure luck, in my opinion) and see my other hard won attributes instead. Now, I am coming to realize that they are all part of a package that I can be proud of.
Most men are good and caring people, they are attracted to you because they can see what a good and attractive person you are as well. Don't be afraid!
Good Luck!  |
