Pretty People Have More Fun?

I think that pretty people in our society have it better than those of us who are not physically attractive. Tyra Banks did a show where she dressed up as a fat woman but no one knew she was Tyra (the famous model/talk show host).





People in society mistreated Tyra as she lived THE FAT LIFE for one day. It was a terrible experience. I am not downgrading fat people. This post is simply about knowing that pretty people have it easier than most people who are not pretty.





Recall the phrase "Blondes Have More Fun"? Well, I think pretty people have more fun in our society. The same applies in the work force. Pretty people (stupid or smart) get the job while the ugly folks are told to TALK TO THE HAND.





Your view? Your experience?

Pretty People Have More Fun?
Yes, you're right.





I think I must be right on the border of "good-looking" and "ok-looking." Whenever I gain a few lbs or stop working out for a while, I notice people are a lot ruder to me. It's mostly the women I notice: young girls in grocery stores, fast-food places, etc.





I grew up hearing adults saying "We don't treat anybody different, no matter what race or gender or how they look." That's not true.





There's something in us that makes us want to be nice to the square-jaw, gray-eyed, hunky-looking man and the sexy woman.





I blame TV where the villains are always butt-ugly and the heros all look like Bob Parr before he got fat. We see that so much, we start to believe it's true in our subconscious.
Reply:I think people who are pretty are treated better, but tdoes that mean they have more fun? Geeky gorky people, accepting that they aren't going to be able to spend their saturday nights pulling go off and play music or board games or something and may well have a better time than the pretty people yelling down each others ears in a night club, pretending to have a good time then vomiting in their hats.
Reply:I am not what most people consider pretty, and I never have been, and I think you're right. It's not as bad now that I'm older, but I know in my high school and college days, I was miserable. I wasn't popular, I never had a date (had to go down the prom walk with my brother because no one would go with me), never went to parties, anything fun. I was smart, so oh, they all came to me for help with homework, and I was nice to everyone, so my yearbook is full of "You're such a sweet girl" remarks. Even in college, I was ignored and never invited to parties or asked on dates. I had a friend in college who was drop dead gorgeous, and I tell you, when she was with me, I did not exist to anyone in the room; all eyes were on her.


On the other hand, the pretty ones may have more fun, but they're not necessarily happy. My drop dead gorgeous friend was so insecure and so in search of a guy who was as gorgeous as she was. Let me tell you, she could never keep a boyfriend because she wanted perfection and couldn't see beyond that. I suspect that a lot of celebrities are the same way--look at all of the drug and alcohol addicted beauties out there. They may be attractive, but they're not happy.
Reply:Yes.





Yes we do. Wooohoo!
Reply:Well I would like to consider myself pretty..and I am told so often..but I really dont think I have it any better then people that are not so attractive





I think it's more of a confidence thing, one of my closest friends is 22, and 280 pounds but she carries it well and holds her head up high, and she always gets the job, shes always being hit on.





people like different things, and I'm sure this theory holds true if your in larger cities especially one where looks are important such as LA or New York but here in small town Wisconsin I can say I dont think this holds true


at least not the people I know
Reply:Honestly... it's true. I've always had more fun than ugly people!
