What's With Pretty People Anyway?

Post by Hope6 »

Why is it that people who think of themselves as really pretty, seem to have a sense of entitlement like just because they are pretty they should be thought more of or liked better or whatever. I know this is a weird thought but I saw a girl in the store who definitely had that, I'm superior to everyone because I'm pretty attitude. You could see it just by looking at her. I've always said, people can't take credit for their looks because we look as God intended us to look, and besides we inherited the way we look from our parents! :)

I can't agree more and luckily I've never had that problem :-)

It is noticeable that, outside of the performing arts, the people that succeed are not the pretty pretty ones who often appear to think that the world owes them a living.

I have said many a time that I've seen some of the prettiest people be some of the ugliest on the inside and some who maybe weren't considered that pretty, be some of the nicest people I have ever known. :)

There Is another side to being ' Pretty'

As a teenager and young woman, I was even described as beautiful. Yes, that's terribly big-headed I know. Wish I could say the same now though lol

I'm sure like I did, pretty girls find life can be actually quite lonely. At school, the b.itches hate you and the mingers don't want to be friends with someone who's going to make them look worse.

The boys don't ask you out because they assume that you'll laugh at them.

Even grown men come on to you because they think that If you're pretty, you must be up for It.

At job Interviews, you're treated like the village Idiot because If you're pretty, you must be a vaccuous bimbo.

Some men don't even want to marry pretty girls because they are convinced they'll be up to no good behind their backs.

I can understand some women having attitude... It's a wall of protection for some.

Oscar I guess that's a way to look at it but I've always been kinda put off by people who seem to think they are pretty and it seems to give them a...I'm better than everyone else attitude.

I think that says a lot more about your self esteem than it does about the pretty person.

Years ago I was in the Rome airport to board a flight. Behind me, there was a couple, a man & woman who were well-dressed & gorgeous, very Tall, like models. For some reason they thought their dazzling beauty gave them the right to suddenly go in front of short ragged me. Big mistake on their part. I told them off. They were shocked, obviously had never been questioned before, being so rich & stunning & all. They went back to their place behind me. Gotta deal with these folks. I did.

Being pretty is in the eye of the beholder and that does not necessarily mean someone looking at you but more how you perceive how you "look."

If you believe you are pretty - then you are and that will come thru in your style, your attitude, your aura. IMO to criticize someone by only looking at them and feeling less pretty you are only letting yourself down.

I know there are those who take advantage of acknowledging their prettiness....but there are plenty of us out there who are down to earth.
