When was the first time in life you realized how shallow people could be about other's physical appearances?

For me, it was back in 3rd grade when I was 9 years old. Though most kids in the class were 8 if I recall correctly as I started 1 year late.

We had come back to school from a break in that same year. Can't quite recall if it was the Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, or Spring break, or whatever, but it was a break.

And in that time one of my male classmates was able to grow a tiny barely noticeable moustache... and all the girls in the class went absolutely CRAZY over it.

They literally didn't give a shit about him before, but now they were going on and on about how "he was so handsome" and how "he was so mature now."

And he himself enjoyed this and played into this. Often talking with one side of his mouth to put emphasis on the way his moustache moved as he talked; and often playing with his moustache. And when the girls began to fight over him he'd be like "ladies ladies there's enough of me to go around."

Then one day his mom made him shave his moustache...

And suddenly the girls didn't give a shit about him anymore. Literally telling him "we don't want you, you're not handsome anymore."

And then when he REGREW his moustache then they were all over him AGAIN...

And keep in mind, these were kids who were around 8 and 9 years old. If they were this shallow this young then imagine how shallow they'll be as adults... aka today, lol.
