--- Quote from: cannoli ---I am ugly, and no one, NO ONE, ever looks beyond the surface to the inner self, or any of that other crap that Hollywood and idealistic idiots like to sell - people fall in love with pretty people, period.
--- End quote ---
I think saying "people only fall in love with pretty people" is just plain wrong in some cases. You can't paint all of humanity with such a broad brushstroke. For some people, personality does matter more than physical beauty. An attractive personality can really make up for a lot. Also, you give Hollywood shit for saying we should look beyond physical beauty, but then you turn and say only pretty people find love? I think Hollywood shoves the latter down our throats more than the former, personally.
I think Marigold's real problem is that she is far too wrapped up in her anxiety to let other people in, and that's just not a very attractive quality. Also, being "needy" can turn people off too. I do think that trying to dress nice and what-have-you would help her. I don't know about other women, but I generally feel better when I "take care of myself", which in turn helps me be more confident in my interactions with others.
Is it cold in here?:
Dora may be trying to help because she was in a situation like Marigirl's when she was in high school, the weirdo with bad skin and an unfashionable wardrobe.
CaptainFish:
One thing I will say is that Marigold's confidence in stating her opinions is great. I like her character when she's assertive and confident, as exemplified by her dealings with Dale, her talks with Angus and Faye after crying at that party and here. Even when she was first introduced she was confident in her demands to make sure Pintsize wasn't being abused; when Mare-Bear cares* about something she comes across almost uncharacteristically decisive.
Mare-Care-Bear? Mare-Bear countdown: 4, 3, 2, 1.
Carl-E:
Appearances are not everything. And love is not strictly based on appearances. Cannoli, one of these days it will hit you - one of your friends is more than that to you, and you to them.
And it will be one hell of a shock, because you didn't think it would ever happen.
Just do both of you a favor - don't shove that person away because you don't believe him/her. Don't throw it away - even for the pretty people, it's a rare and wonderful thing.

Odin:
You don't have to be pretty to be seen as attractive, having loads of money or being in an influential position of power works as well. :evil:
