Right, I think I stopped checking for him after "Run it"his music was never my thing. No attraction imo- have seen better looking in my day to day. He could dance his ass off though, so I would check for that.
But I think self-esteem comes from within, that's what not being told or put in the spotlight - young girls need to be taught to have confidence in themselves, not comparing themselves to these everyday superficial ideals that the media portrays especially not social media. It's all a front. This "celebritized" version is unrealistic - putting too much energy in worrying about how they look to or for other people, instead of working on improving or accepting their own best self. Looks are subjective - what's beautiful to one person may not fit the mold to someone else. That's how we have all these depressed girls and young women walking around or trying hard for the wrong type of attention. Mixed messages have people messed up out here.
Yooo. "Run it" was like his first single, wasn't it?
I only liked his first album. He didn't last long for me, as an artist. That second album he started to go to the pop side. And I didn't understand what happened. As each year passed and his music continued to transform into some fusion between R&B and Pop or R&B and rap, I was like yeah I'm good on him.
But what you said in that second paragraph is key. So many young girls are letting the images they see on IG, and through these fake looking Celebs and their "fake" relationships rub off on them. It hurts them when they see these men with women that don't look like them. They lash out and overreact; I can't even imagine it. The reality is that like you said looks are subjective. Everyone is entitled to find what they find attractive. Not everyone will like or find you attractive. And that's okay. We need to raise our black girls to understand that and love themselves, regardless of what men like Chris Brown or others say.
