Based Quote by LostInTears
“Why is everything based on look nowadays? Your friends have to look good to hang out with, if you don't look good you are screwed, and if you want to be with somebody you have to look good. Me, I have friends that aren't the most attractive people but yet I am still friends with them. Me, I am with somebody that I find attractive but others don't so I get shit for it. eww break up with them they are ugly. I'm sure he/she gets the same. Why looks? Just why?”
