Some Girls Are Only Gorgeous In The Dark
I'm standing in line to go into this night-club in the Hamptons with my friend and I'm actually intimidated by the girls who are standing in line in front of me. Each carrying more expensive bags than I with hair and make up so glamorous I felt like a little girl again. Everything about them screamed wealth and beauty and class. How could I ever compete?The guys in line surrounded them and were practically drooling to get their numbers. Granted they were probably in their late 20's and had years to perfect their looks and alcohol definitely made them look all the more attractive but still I couldn't help but feel envious of them.
So I said, "Nikki, there are so many beautiful girls here, how do the guys even choose who they want to talk to?" She laughed at me and said that "It isn't that they are so beautiful Carly, it's just dark out!"
Huh, I guess that makes sense. The next day walking around town I suspected that I would see the same gorgeous girls shopping and eating and talking to the same guys, but I didn't find them.
Instead I found girls who looked ragged and tired with flat hair and dark circles under their eyes. They chatted about how late they stayed out and how hungover they felt and suddenly they didn't seem so classy to me.
Do you think some people look better in the dark?

Maybe they just look easy in the dark.
Hmmm. You can't see acne or weird blemishes as well in the dark. Blurred edges could be good for some less fortunate people.
"They chatted about how late they stayed out and how hungover they felt and suddenly they didn't seem so classy to me."
Really? The girl who tries to have sex with a random stranger in a bar bathroom while she's too drunk to stand up and then gets stopped by his vicious girlfriend is ragging on other women for not being classy because they have a hangover? REALLY?
Dude. Don't judge other women like this in your posts if you don't want people to do the same thing to you. So uncool.
@thisiswhereItellyoueverything@xanga -
bahahahaha. I hate to agree with another berating comment on this author's posts, but you couldn't be more right.
well, when people go out for the night they tend to spend more time getting ready then they would in the day time. For ex. i dont spend any time on my look on normal days, but when i go out, i go all out...the make up, hair extensions, the nice outfits etc.
Drive by fucking
@thisiswhereItellyoueverything@xanga - touche
personally, I find this post rather ironic...
and also consider the amount of time girls put into looking good when they go out at night, versus in the mornings when they don't really give a fuck. and finally, please reconsider the titles of your posts...I'm getting you confused with Jenn and that's not good
@thisiswhereItellyoueverything@xanga - WIN.
I'm so awesome that I glow in the dark
some people look better or taller from far away but when they walk closer, they might be ugly and shorter than expected
if they are that gorgeous, then the bouncer would've quickly let them into the club because beautiful people don't have to wait in line with the fuglies
so that speaks for itself.
get over your jealousy. those women are classy, they are beautiful, they are successful, they are wonderful, and the prospect of having to "compete" with them is indeed daunting. but just the same, you are all those things -- you don't have to try to put them down to make yourself feel better in such a trashy manner! pick yourself up, girl.
i feel like this post is 100% self-comfort. you were envious of all the attention those women got and how beautiful and classy they seemed, so you are now seeking out reasons to tell yourself that they are not in fact beautiful or classy. why, it was just the illusions in the dark that led to all the attention! surely in the sunlight those men would have thronged around you, instead.
you absolutely do not need to put other people down to raise your own confidence, so please learn this lesson truly and quickly.
I wish I had a job where all I had to do was take 92 seconds out of my day to write up 200 word "articles" that don't say anything of significance.
Yes my fiance always told me that people generally look better in the dark. And also if you are far-sighted and when you don't wear your specs - everyone tend to look good. Hahaha
At first I thought this was another Jenn post. I guess there are two crappy writers on this site now. Great...
SO are a lot of guys, and some look better in pictures than in real life.
@Elizabeth_Ho@xanga - Well, I'm nearsighted and when I go out (without my glasses) I can look around a room and think "wow, lots of eye candy" when the reality is that there isn't lol. Ooops
hate to tell you, any wemon's can be gorgeous. take, for example, one i dont find very pretty at all, even though i enjoy her comedy immensely. A person by the name of Whoopie Goldberg. I'm sorry but, to my eyes, that woman is not even remotely pretty. she has no definable shape, no breasts nor booty, can not be defined as even remotely (gags here slightly) sexy or anything. but.... when she smiles... when her eyes light up... her whole face becomes suddenly animated and lives that smile... she becomes one of the most beautiful wemons on the plant... please tell me how that's done... could it be that, for that moment, she is at peace with herself and what she truly is shines forth? or just an optical illusion...hmmm.....
err just my two cents...
err and a simple P.S. simply loving these American Apparel ads...drools...
You just wrote a post about sleeping with a stranger in a bar bathroom, and being too drunk to stand up - I don't think you're in any position to tell people whether they're classy or not.
Because in the light people see who you really are. You can be anyone you want to in the dark. When the light is turned on or comes up, it show the true person.
In the dark after a few drinks.
Awww, none of the dudes were trying to jump your bones in the toilet this time. :( LOL.
I agree with the others that said that people generally take more time to get ready when they are going to go out. Of course these women looked more glamorous in the club then they did wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
Seriously?
I don't think being hungover makes you unclassy.
The title of this piece and the general gist makes me a bit uncomfortable. We tend to perceive certain things as making girls beautiful when they go out at night- tight dresses, lots of makeup, fun hairstyles, high heels. These things are all symbolic to us of sexiness and beauty. When these easy cues are taken away from us, though, does not necessarily make the girls you are looking at "only gorgeous in the dark."
There are many types of beauty a woman can exhibit, at different times of her life.
