Right, having this sort of preconceived notion of what beauty and success should look like is entirely the problem in the first place. I listened to people like this throwaway account and tried to hide from my feelings because I wanted to be "successful" and live the easier life where I would have more opportunity etc.. So I worked hard, got ahead in my career, married a beautiful woman, bought a big house, nice car, blah blah. I was a very "successful" man, but I was totally miserable.
