I don;t get it, why are u a poser if u like the look of someone. Sometimes I actually feel flattered as being mistakened as a star! but yea... whatever

I think most of us over the age of 25 have come to grips with this sort of thinking. The world does judge you by the way you look. If I am walking past you on the street, I don't really have an opportunity to 'get to know you'. If I see you hanging out with my friend's kids, I am going to judge you based on the way you look. Does that mean you are or are not a good person inside? No, probably not. But, I am going to judge you by looks, at first. I think when we walk around saying, "I don't care what I look like, but, I want YOU to like me despite what I look like" you are sending a mixed signal. The saying, if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably a duck.
