basin usa sa paghimo cgro ato nga thread ug sa ni sumpay, PADUGANG SA POST.
basin nag gather lang ug info so if they gonna meet for an EB they would know who's who and what's what.
basin sa hamubong pagpagawas kinsai napili nilang maanyag o ambungan ilang napagawas ilang gibati'
ug sa paghisgot-hisgot sa ilang napilian, gikalipay nila ang sentimento nga naa pud diay nagkadayeg sa ilang gisulat.
apan duna say uban nga gikasakit ug nahasul.
sa mga dunay sentimento ni-ini, ipagawas inyung gibati diri, ug atong pagahisgutan. maayong adlaw :mrgreen:

you make a lot of sense too rudjard

i'll just try to make my point here. how do we define gwapo or gwapa ba? indeed, we have different definitions, different standards. who i find attractive might not be attractive to others and what others find attractive might not be attractive to me. ika nga "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"..

exhibit or define beauty like beauty magazines do.

the problem lies here. we already have a prevailing notion that being gwapo or gwapa should be like this and like that and thats where the gap starts to create

[n`gel]

but still then...
the kind of "attractive" that people oftentimes pay attention around here
is much of the conventional
where I initially base my concern

If we define "admiration" being wonder or perhaps approval
... of course it's not a surprising turn out if majority or perhaps everybody would say this and that is beautiful
well who sees the "unattractive" in these topics anyways...
that itself signifies
to some extent
it creates insecurity to a few

the world ain't perfect I know.. even in workplaces.. etc etc people tend to favor the "attractive" with talent more than the "unattractive" which for me is discriminatory.

so sad but true. this is whats happening in the real world.. you were right, it would create insecurity to others.. even i feel insecure at times seeing these people or even simply by browsing some of the pages here. but i always think that it doesnt end there. why do i feel insecure? its because i try to compare myself to these people. for sure everywhere i go there will be people better or lesser than me. i do have other abilities and capabilities that i can be proud of. and thats the beauty of it, me, in my average looking looks can do some things better than these "attractive people". we're indeed created equal, if they're better there, we're better here.. :mrgreen:

honestly, i am not comfortable seeing lots of threads asking who's gwapa and who's gwapo in istorya.net. however, looking at it in the parlance of forum sites (char, parlance jud), this is general chit-chat, meaning we're having chit-chat. i don't believe it's being made for discrimination but for fun purposes only. and yes, i agree padugang sa posts.
as for the issue nga basin naa ma-insecure kay wala gabutang sa ilang name or whatsoever, i pity those people nga maka feel ug ingon ana. they base their security on forum posts as to gwapa ba sila or dili.
this boils down to self-confidence. bahala nag walay mopost nga gwapa ko or way moingon sa ako, as long as i know gwapa ko, payts ra na.

[zhero_id]

mao gyud, ngano mga gwapo ra man og gwapa, nga bati man kog nawng, lisod e apil dd2

[klavel]

i don't mind the gwapo/gwapa forums and i really don't care at all, hehe..i think they were created for the heck of having fun...i see nothing wrong with those threads and i'd rather focus on threads w/c are worth reading..

stereotyping and merely saying nga "gwapahan ko or gwapohan ko ani niya" is totally different.

stereotyping is like giving a fixed, unvarying, oversimplified conception and opinion.

the word gwapa and gwapo i say is not a fixed oversimplified conception and opinion since the cliché says "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

beauty varies from one person's eyes to another. as what eunice mentioned "who i find attractive might not be attractive to others and what others find attractive might not be attractive to me."

the kind of "attractive" that people oftentimes pay attention around here
is much of the conventional

how can one know the unconventional then?

anyway, I don't find it annoying if people talk about who's gwapo or gwapa. tanang tao naay katungod mopagawas sa iyang gibati.

I firmly believe that it is wrong to withhold a good word. I think the right word here is Appreciation and not descrimination.

When one appreciates another may it be the beauty of God's handiwork that was bestowed upon him or not, then that's a good thing.

always think the positive side.

If one is insecure about those threads, better not be. We are equally made and that's the truth.

word: Appreciate

[han]

kung gwapa ka, gwapa ka.....kung dili ka gwapa, aw dili gyud ka gwapa

sakto si nomadix...."beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

simple!

nganong i-associate man ang stereotyping og preference of beauty? lahi-lahi man ang taste sa tao...

agree man ko ba nga ang magazines/models ang nag set ug standard anang word nga "gwapa"

pero dili man ko mag pa apektar ana...ngano? kay naa manko akong taste! and i feel i am gwapo!!! nyahahahaha!! joke! dili ko assuming nga tao ha...pasi-aw lang gud

naa pud ning "insecurity"....grabe raba ni'g tama.....padala gani ka ani, aw....luoy ka....hahaha
