What Is Image?

Ok... so here I go again...
Why do we look at image so much? What makes us feel like we need to look a certain way, act a certain way, or just have the body of a Greek God?

I have no clue... I will never be the guy in the magazine ad and really... have no desire to be. But when faced with meeting someone who looks that part, why do I shy away? I mean, if you get to know... the real me... you will love me! LOL (conceited... I know)

It just seems to me that the world puts too much emphasis on the ideal look. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate a good looking person, but they are not the only ones who catch my eye. But when approached by someone who looks the part, I have to say... I feel very intimidated and tend to become more shy than ever. THEN my mind reels on why is this person looking at me?

Well I finally got the guts to ask... thanks to a quick Im session with a co-worker. And you know what... no answer could be given. AND the issue was skirted around. So I have to wonder... what makes us tick when it comes to attraction?

I guess the answers lie deep within each of us but - being the questioning mind that I am - I just need to know. Logic wins over flattery... Right over wrong... Good over evil... I just have to know.

I know that this seems a little petty and kind of stupid, but it plagues me right now. And the more I want to know... the more I push the person away. Yep... happens all the time. I just have to say... "Thanks D... you screwed up my life and I will never get over it!"

Hey Jerry! (K. Tyner here)
Enjoyed all of your insightful posts....and the image thing...it caught me right in the ol' kisser. Like Jerry was just smacking me in the face-- image? Why do we have these crazy ideas of it in our heads? Perfection can actually never be achieved....
