Do You Think You Could Spot A Diamond In The Rough? (71)
Lionhearted1967London, Ontario Canada143 Threads 10 Polls 9,887 PostsWe all have our idea of what we want in a mate as an all around person. Do you think you could see further into a person to see their true potential? Maybe they are a little screwed up from some things in their lives but have potential and just need someone to believe in them. Maybe they have their stuff together but could look better? Kind of like I guess, have you ever seen an overweight woman or man and see as they would be at the right weight, etc? Would you be one to polish that gem or pass it up because it isn't perfect and needed refining?

I wouldn't polish it or pass it up.....
I have found that in some cases it's our "quirks" and our "screwed upness" (lol) that makes up who and what we are....I am an interesting person as are we all....I have screwed up plenty and am not the "ideal" woman that we all think that men want. Recently I discovered by what I think (know) to be a Divine intervention of sorts someone with ALOT of my same issues....those issues, screw ups...whatever you wanna call them are what has made us close, what brought us together I guess you could say....It's something amazing and real and special and I wouldnt trade one single "flaw" of mine or theirs becuase it is from those things that this AMAZING thing has happened......

Good post April. Very true! It definately takes two people to make a relationship work. This doesn't even have to pertain to romantic relationships. I have had times in my life when it seems I was sent an angel. They saw something in me that I didn't even realize and helped me to see further.

Heh,
Feel the same...All people (wether they call themselves "beautiful", or not) are flawed...Yes, character, beauty...all of it. Freckles, scares...Each design to make up incredible people...

My grand daughter, Autumn, has this big birth mark on her right and it just seems like it belongs there. My grandson, Blaze, is a joy to behold. He doesn't have a blemish but I still think he is beautiful.

Some of the prettiest diamonds, to me, are those that shine without polish. Shine on, rock on, whatever way you have to get there. What beautiful blemishes there are out there. A face is a treasure map to beauty shone and hidden.

A diamond in the rough is Someone who has quality and beauty but is overlooked because of something external, could be anything, not just looks. Have you ever noticed though that the so called "beautiful" people or "Affluent" people many times have major flaws blatently overlooked, while others are judged by what they look like or have. Just because someone is having a bad time in life doesn't make them a failure. Some people don't even realize how special they really are until someone recognizes and helps them to realize. Sometimes all it takes is someone to truly believe to help someone shine. Co-dependency? No, just inspiring them with your true belief in them. When you are appreciated it shows and helps nurture. dunno?

left field or me? LOL. I am not talking about just physical looks, Could be circumstances too. People who have something very special and are overlooked because of what what they don't have but have it all but it's hidden inside waiting to be discovered. Some of the most worthless and ugly people are the most beautiful looking or powerful. Maybe that is why guys and girls are always asking why they get overlooked while the nice looking ones who treats them like a jerk get all the dates. A person who can recognize a diamond in the rough will be able to see their true potential. They don't make them change into beautiful gems, they help them realize the their true value and beauty that was also obscured by their own outer image. I dunno, LOL.

I guess I mean in the way he does something whether it is wrong or right. A bush that doesn't beat around the bush. Will get back to that at a later time. Yes, Lene, I know what you mean. Sometimes, we misjudge ourselves or let others misjudge us. It is like this mold of beauty is there and if you don't fit the mold then... But beauty is still in the eye of the beholder. I think some people can be blind to a beauty that they can't see. I like the words to a song, "Everyone is beautiful in their own way". Old song, forgot title and who sang it.

My thoughts:
How a person dresses, or thier wieght, or thier quirks is not something you "polish" for them.
If you take them - take them quirks and all or just don't bother.
A person can only change something if they decide to do it for themselves.
Not to change for you, and you can't do it for them. Neither way works, and they both create resentment and other bad feelings.

Nope, I have given up rough gems - they never have turned out to be diamonds for me - just stayed rough gems.
I still want diamonds though, because they can be a girls best friend when she's feeling low :)
