Disturbingly beautiful people
After a failed attempt to converse with Hot Chinese Guy a couple of math classes ago, I’ve decided to move onto other hot, unattainable guys at school. There’s this one freshman I’ve had my eye on since registration day. He’s half European, half Filipino, and aside from the fact that he is absolutely gorgeous, he has a certain disturbingly beautiful facial feature that I don’t want to mention here because this is the Internet and talking about certian things can be very dangerous. I thought crushing on him might be okay because he seems nice, and he’s good friends with some of the people I know at school. Unfortunately, I found out a few days ago that he is already taken. Just my luck. At least Hot Chinese Guy is single.
Monix (my friend from The Guidon Web who also happens to like him) and I, spent a good chunk of our morning reading Mr. Disturbingly Beautiful’s Livejournal, his girlfriend’s Livejournal, tearing at our hair and turning completely green with envy. They weren’t exactly being mushy or anything, but just the thought of that girl staring into his (insert disturbingly beautiful facial feature here) and his (insert disturbingly beautiful facial feature here) staring back at her with love made us scream in frustration. Literally. How the hell was she able to snag a guy like that?!
The answer to that question came to me just now. I guess I kind of understand why guys at school don’t even give me so much as a passing glance. Aside from the fact that he loves her, I’m sure that Mr. Disturbingly Beautiful would pick his girlfriend’s looks over mine anyday because she is pale and pretty. Maybe I’m just making hasty generalizations, but a lot of the Filipino guys have standards of beauty that I will never, ever reach. I mean, what Filipino guy wouldn’t prefer mestizas (half Caucasian) or chinitas (Chinese-looking) over darker-skinned girls? I’m pseudo-chinita and my skin is as brown as milk chocolate (and for some weird reason, I want it to become even darker). I have yet to meet a Filipino guy that doesn’t want to date a girl who immerses herself in whitening cream every night–that is, if she isn’t naturally deprived of melanin already. I wonder if the former even exists in the Philippines today. Well, if they do, they certainly don’t go to Ateneo.
Makes me feel really grateful for the fact that Jason loves me regardless of what my skin color is. ♥ Thank God for Jewish guys.

yes… but what god?
i don’t think that’s the case. a lot of the guys i’ve dated used to date primarily morena girls before me. also, my friend bettina is morena and she’s considered one of the hottest girls at ateneo. . . i guess you just have to find the kind of guy who doesn’t prioritize color over looks and personality
Jews and Christians pray to the same God. =P
Hm… well any guy who looks at beauty before personality is dumb anyway… I’m not exactly dark-skinned, but I am darker than most people in my school because I’m half-Filipino. Anyway, a lot of guys seems to not look my way and would prefer to date one of the blue-eyed, blonde-haired girls in my school.
I think we should really be thanking God for jewish jokes… so funny
hehe, j/k
I don’t know… I think you’re attractive…
I’ll date you :heart: :heart: LOL
nah, A lot of guys are jerks. seriously. I don’t know. I wouldn’t go out with someone I didn’t find attractive. I have a somewhat skewed view of the world though. None of my friends find the girls I think are good looking attractive. So just keep your eyes open, some guys might think you’re cute but too nervous to do anything about it, I know that’s my case 100% of the time. lol. You just have to meet the right person..
If someone is that picky about skin color or bacground, be thankful you aren’t with him! Thats a slippery slope to be going down in a relationship.
commentPale skinned asians sound nasty. I dont kno anyone who prefers their asian looking gf’s pale. Thats an urban myth
