if when you were a kid and you asked your mother "am i pretty?" and she starts talking about inner beauty you are ugly as hell

LOL  *pat on the back*

sugoi monogatari aniki ( ^o^ )

You'll be fine. People are way to judgemental these days.I had long hair for about three years, the summer came along and I decided to shave it completely off and all of a sudden people look at me weird. They can suck it, I like how it is now. I don't have to have a shower every day to wash the grease out, but it should be fine until school starts up again. 

*groans* Though I think 'aniki' might still be a tad too formal, given the source...

For the subject, it's a matter of interpretation. Some people try to tell their kids to look in for real beauty. And personally, I think that's a better thing to do. This world is so superficial that it's nauseating. Just look under the skin, and make sure there's an actual caring soul there...

My dad always said I was ugly and my mother dresses me funny.

it's supposed to sound that way, it gives a connotation that is should be the opposite (which you caught :P)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not a woman so I have never asked that question, regardless I don't think I'm too ugly. I get a few head turns when I ever get a haircut.

Same here.

They turn the other way, though.
