Before you read
Think about it
Who is the most beautiful woman and the best-looking man you know?
Do you think it's difficult to be very good-looking? Why? Why not?
How important is it to look attractive? Why?
Read the text quickly and tell your partner what it is about.
How important is your appearance?
How important is your appearance? Although everyone wants to be good-looking, are beautiful people always the happiest people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman because many men may be more interested in looking at you than in talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person. There are also some people who think that women who are exceptionally pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive people can be intelligent.
On the other hand no one wants to be really ugly and have a face that even your mother doesn't want to look at; and no one wants to be plain either that is to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten.
Being attractive is like being rich: it can help you to find happiness, but it doesn't always make you happy. So may be the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be an interesting person, for interesting people have interesting faces and interesting faces are almost always attractive.
People who cannot hear often learn to understand a spoken language not with their ears but with their eyes. They watch the mouth of the person talking and follow the movement of their lips. This is called lip-reading.
Some people think that the distance between your hair and your eyebrows is a sign of how intelligent you are. The bigger your forehead is, the more intelligent you are supposed to be.
Nowadays, a person who doesn't like his nose can have it changed with plastic surgery. Plastic surgeons can change your face in many other ways too. They can make your cheeks a little rounder or higher under the eyes. If you don't like your chin a plastic surgeon can break your jaw and remake the whole lower half of your face. If you think your skin looks too old and full of wrinkles, they can take the wrinkles away and make you look twenty years younger.
Women often disagree about men having beards and moustache. Some women think that beard on a man's skin makes him look friendly and attractive. Other women think beards look all right but they don't like to touch them. As for moustaches there are some women who think they are very attractive and others who think that a moustache makes a man look cold and mean.
Usually only women wear make-up. They are lucky. They can put a little black mascara on their eyelashes and some eyeshadow on their eyelids and look fresh and attractive, even when they are really tired. But the morning after a very late night a man just has to look terrible.
