Trinis: Typically Ugly Or Comely? - Page 3

I am as enthralled by physical features as anyone else but physical beauty breaks down as we age and I look for something more (I think) like kindness, compassion and so on to match with that beauty. Beauty is subjective!
I admire a North Indian Punjabi facial type as a South Indian Madrasi, as a Hausa or Fula, or Somali, or someone like Mala Rodriguez or Nelly Furtado but the fact remains we tire of those things when the heart does not measuer up to the physical attraction!

Yeniseri, stop all the 'mumbo jumbo' and stay on topic, if we wanted to Discuss inner beauty then we would not be talking about comeliness, but charisma and kindness. Read the FIRST Post in this Thread if you want to know what the Topic is about.

JB, that is a good hint! Thanks.

Trini are no more ugly or comely than any other. 'Ugly' or 'Comely" is still a matter of perspective or value because I can see a 'beautiful' woman and you tell me you see 'ugly'.

So then what you are trying to say is that Trinis are 'average' looking?

Let's face it, we have some people here who look like hogs, but worst yet their attitude is not far from the way they look either. Then we also have some real dishes of delight, they look like a good plate of pelau ready to be eatten but when you talk to them the you see that the plate of pleau is really a bowl of uncooked saltfish. When I visit my mother's country I always have to wonder which place is better and I am sorry but impenada seems to look better than doubles.

Fom my part of T&T, (Carenage, Westmoorings, Diego), Trinis are better than the average but again beauty is in the mind of the beholder. I am equally sure other parts of T&T have their own version of beauty, which I applaud and can appreciate.

I do not want to come out like 'my perception of beauty is better than anyone's else'. Before the Creator, all of us are one, and the more noble and moral amongst us have tiny advantage.

As I aspire to be a more spiritual being, I alone am the ugly and comely one!

For those of you who want to SERIOUSLY consider beauty and not wash it down with rants that try to make it look like we cannot have a social judgment of beauty then I suggest you read my thoughts in the Fashion Board where I Discuss this in depth.

Mr JB,

I just do not give beauty the same importance but I see nothing wrong with others expressing their own perception of it!
I see Penelope Cruz as being beautiful but my best friend says she is ugly! Go figure. Yes, Hips do not lie.
