There are very few things in this world that grind my gears in the very same way someone that is fake does. My main beef is with those who have a fake personality. You know, those people who pretend to be all nice and cheery to your face, but they're really a demon behind closed doors.
I don't like to put up with acts like that. I appreciate a genuine person who is confident in themselves to express their true personality. The same too holds true for physical appearance. I can't stand when people go out of their way to alter their natural appearance.
This goes for cosmetic surgery, excessive makeup, and fake tanning. I know a lot of physical alterations have to do with the media. People want to emulate what they see in magazines and on television.
There is a growing breed of a cookie-cutter generations, where all kids have a model of the exact way they want to look. This is going to produce a gross society of unoriginal people in the future because the problem is only getting worse.
The tanning industry has grown from marketers of oils to increase one's bronzing glow, to hundred thousand dollar beds of heat and light people spend their time in on a regular basis.
Tanning salons gross billions of dollars across the United States appealing to a desperate and often addictive attempt for males and females alike to maximize the pigmentation in their skin.
This is the 21 century. We still shouldn't pretend not to know basic scientific knowledge regarding the power of the sun and potential danger of the sun. But, we want to pretend to be negligent as we can and create a device that showers one in a tag team of UVA and UVB light.
Melanoma and other skin cancers have a positive correlation with the rise of tanning salons, and the increase in documented medical cases that have been going through the roof. So people stand in these cancer boxes all for the end results of a little tint to their skin.
Excuse me for saying this, although I'm not ashamed at all, tanning is one of the dumbest things a person can do. It doesn't matter if you're a guy or girl, the results are the same. Your fake skin color just makes you look silly.
Do you really think anyone is impressed by an unnatural color that you keep through the middle of a New England winter that makes you look like you were dipped in a pool of dark oak lacquer?
My advice is, be bold to cast aside such tempting augmentations and display the natural beauty that is you.
