I was reading around Friendster. A friend had commented on my site greeting me for Christmas. I always liked the girl and she was in the organization that I had workshopped 2 years ago. I checked into her site and began going through her pictures. The girl was really pretty and she kind of looked like KC Concepcion and apparently, she was in love with a guy that didn’t look that handsome (no offense). I’ve seen her pictures before and it always made me admire her for not looking for guys who were handsome and all that. I mean it, she had pictures, some edited with praises of how much she loved her boyfriend, how she wanted to be with him forever. I looked through most her pictures. Okay, that was a little secretive, I was jealous of her. I mean by the fact that she had someone she loved that deeply.

Then I saw it. It was a picture of her boyfriend, standing alone. Like I said, the guy wasn’t very handsome nor was he much charming. I don’t know what she saw in him, but I’m not one to judge much, except I just did, but only physically. I really do admire her for loving beyond looks. Aside from that, I didn’t really care. Still, it was there, below the picture, was a comment.

It read, “you deserve someone better.”

I was amused. I’m not going to be much of a hypocrite here, nowadays it seemed physical appearance is an important thing too. But I didn’t think anyone would really tell that to her in such a public place. Besides, he doesn’t even know the guy, so how would he know the girl deserves someone better?

What would make someone deserve another person? I mean, is there criteria, or a step by step formula that creates how a person can deserve someone else? I don’t know how their relationship goes, because for all I know, the guy could be maltreating the girl and the person who commented was just a friend who knew a lot. Still, it made me think. What about for other people?

If the comment was created just because of the guy’s looks, then the person, who commented on her page, was totally shallow. I wouldn’t want to be with a guy like that. If a person can prejudge someone so easily just by the physical appearance through a picture, then that person is as skin-deep shallow. I wouldn’t want to date a guy like that.
