Ain't fair, you know

How often do we do something knowing darn well that it's bad for us in the end? My friend shared a video, where Jamie Oliver was trying to show to kids how unhealthy processed foods are by demonstrating the way chicken nuggets were made. Despite the fact that the youngsters agreed that the ingredients looked disgusting, they all eagerly volunteered to taste Jamie's food afterwards.

I feel like I'm the same way with her. I look through her polished pictures, marvel at how well she can present herself, how outgoing/fun/creative she is, and inevitably start feeling worse about myself. No rational thinking that points at my life being pretty kick-ass as well (if not more) doesn't help. And unlike the kids, who actually get temporary enjoyment from eating nuggets, my hook is not even that fun. Why can't she just be less attractive?...So I can feel insecure about my smarts.
