Awareness is good.

BUT, I agree that most people are shallow. Ya, take it from someone who went from being really ugly to not so bad looking ;-).....I can see the MAJOR difference in how I am treated by society, and it is sad. People say its all in my head, that people aren't shallow, blah, blah, blah, but rare is the case of someone who's looks change so drastically, so quickly, in a positive direction. That is, they haven't lived it so they don't believe it to be true.

The thing is, if you base relationships on looks alone and instant attraction, you are missing out knowing a lot of good people. Sometimes someone isn't a total hottie, but as we get to know them we become increasingly more attracted to them.
