The Megan Fox Problem

Why Megan Fox is Not Bad for Women

J. Paul Norton
While drinking a cup of coffee and eating a freshly baked blueberry muffin this morning, I ran across an article that asked the question 'Is Megan Fox Bad for Women?' The premise being that her physical beauty is so bedazzling to men, that they don't see her for what she really is, a woman of less than attractive character. That being the case, she has set "normal" women back by devaluing the importance of inner beauty.

This is truly a conundrum. Megan Fox is definitely an above average looking woman. The article even compares her to Angelina Jolie, the exotic, thick lipped global icon. But, can her physical features be enough make us look beyond her less than classy behavior or foul mouth? Can we hold her up as a role model for girls we want to see excel in life. Is it too late for us to want our girls to crave a large vocabulary and be well versed in the issues of the day?

The dilemma Megan Fox presents isn't something new. No man has walked the earth who didn't have to choose at some point in their lives between a girl with better than average looks and lower than average brains and a girl with inestimable character and virtue. Unfortunately, many men don't always make the right choice.

But, men do get it. They aren't always thinking without their brain. As a matter of fact, when given a little time and reasonable freedom, I would wager that most men see through the fleeting beauty of their bombshell fantasies and search high and low for a girl who can make them laugh and challenge them to be better men. So, please women, don't lose hope. You can trust a good man to make the right decision in the end.

So, does Megan Fox really represent a negative for women? On the contrary, she represents a woman's biggest opportunity for victory. If your man is one of the millions of men drooling over this brunette vixen, a few well placed comments that draw attention to her less than gracious interviews or anything but classy television appearances will get your man thinking. Point out a few moments where foul or inappropriate language passed between her lips and he'll catch on. Especially if you are working hard to be a woman with qualities that ring true with virtue. Be confident that is what he wants.

Men will never really change. They are visually attracted to women. But, what is even more attractive to men is a nice looking woman who has a beautiful heart. Don't be fooled by the examples Hollywood and the media would parade in front of you to prove otherwise. There are always exceptions. But if the man is worth having, with a little creativity on your part, Megan Fox may be the best thing that happened to you. Down deep he realizes that beauty is fleeting, character is important and ruin will surely follow those that don't have any.

    LOL at Randy Inman's comment (below) and reminding that the Bible says, "Judge not, les ye, also, be judged."
    As a corollary, if I had raed this article and not known the name of the author, I would have put $ on the premise that it was written by a woman. [Of course, the one source the author quotes does appear to be female.] I've seen 2 interviews with Megan Fox and read 3 others. She seemed quite demure on David Letterman just 2 nights ago, and at no time did she say anything more surprising than that she is (paraphrased) very insecure about her own looks and that she has had crushes on Dave, Conan O'Brien and Jon Stewart for most of her young life (she said she was 23, and she recently married Brian Green). But, again ,check that Bible quote (above). Must be tough to be in showbiz where every comment is scrutinized and you can't tell the truth as you (and most of the rest of the world) see it without being part of some verbal "feud" thereafter.

    oh yes, she is so gorgeous. yeah right. americans are so easily fooled. she is NOT natural. you can see her here before all her surgery: http://www.box.net/shared/i10uxhtuoj

    if she stayed looking like that no one would give her a second of attention. people are catching on slowly that she is very fake. one min she's a tomboy, then a lesbian, then a pot smoker, then she's straight. tons of women in Hwood are hotter. silly skank.

    I totally agree with David.

    So very true...great article!

    Megan's foul mouth does not bother me. However, she does not seem like a person a man would want to spend a lot of time with. Many males as they grow older realize that hot women are often (though not always) high maintenance in terms of their appearance and emotions. Low maintenance is definitely a virtue that appeals to most men.

    I heard that Meagan Fox's middle name is "The"

    Hmm, based on the link in your article, I think she's hilarious. I've never seen a celeb that I thought was better looking than myself. They may have better assets, but I have a high opinion of my looks. Call it vanity, but I will raise my daughter to think the same about herself. And even if I am in fact hideous, my husband thinks I'm hot, so that works for me.
