verhrzn Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Wasn't sure what thread to put this post in but thought this could be appropriate... I've always yearned to know what it's like to beautiful, or be seen as very physically attractive. Can other people describe what their experiences are like? Link to post Share on other sites
Dream_Theater Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm very attractive to some guys, not really other people's 'types' but I've had the experience of feeling very beautiful and self confident when very slim, and not very attractive when I weighed 2 stone more (I still felt facially pretty but I hated my body). When I'm slim and feel attractive it is great, I have my flaws that I hate just like everybody and I'd never be a model even if I wanted to, but the feeling of feeling beautiful is wonderful. It makes me take pride in my appearance, put time and effort into my hair, makeup, nails, clothes every day. I spend time on make up every morning because I love make up and really enjoy the application, deciding what look to go for etc. whereas I imagine people who don't feel beautiful often put make up on to just look less unattractive and so don't take as much enjoyment out of it. Makes me enjoy walking down the street and not want to bow my head, makes me a lot more confident when doing stuff at work or talking to large groups of people. I just really enjoy being me and really liking what I see in the mirror, that's the best way I can describe it. Link to post Share on other sites
2sunny Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I used to use it as a weapon - to manipulate and mislead men especially. I have learned that it's not a kind way to be. I've also learned that beauty goes MUCH further than outward appearances... Link to post Share on other sites

Author verhrzn Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Read "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves." That just seems to be informative about how to not trust strangers. Oh, and that the ugly person is ALWAYS bad news. Link to post Share on other sites
Mme. Chaucer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The evil queen was beautiful; Snow White was just more beautiful. The dwarves, on the other hand - not so much. But they were nice, and happy, and helpful. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mme. Chaucer Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 What about "Beauty and the Beast"? I think that her looks proved to be quite a burden for her to bear … In both tales, though, the beauty aspect caused a LOT of problems for the gals. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, they helped Snow White out at the risk of the Queen being angry at them as well, and then she abandons them for a handsome prince she barely knows. Come to think of it, at least the prince in Sleeping Beauty fought Maleficent. Did the prince in Snow White do anything besides kiss her?? Link to post Share on other sites

KathyM Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Actually, men treat you well when you are beautiful. They light up when they talk to you, and they talk nicely to you. They turn their heads and watch you. Women, on the other hand, treat you coldly and snub you. They make snide comments to try to put you down, because they feel threatened by you. With that said, I think you obsess too much over your appearance, and the sooner you accept yourself as you are, the happier you will be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

whichwayisup Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It's great; I think it's easier to get a job and male bosses are more likely to be nice to you. Thank god I don't have a female one. Of course I am qualified too and do a GREAT job (above and beyond everyone else) but I think my boss likes me more because I'm pretty which suits me just fine. Car mechanic will fix my Benz for free for minor repairs and charge me half or even lower etc. He is always doing and fixing things for me for free that the dealer would charge a lot for. You get away with a lot more bad behavior depending on how good looking you are. It's nice to walk on the street and have strangers call you pretty; like "Hi there. Bonita" (from a Mexican man). People are more likely to help you when you are in need. There was a tv show where they should a frumpy overweight person dropping stuff and no one helped her whereas a beautiful woman had 10 guys helping here. People are nicer to you when you are more beautiful; it doesn't mean that they have good intentions. However, it makes life easier. I don't see that a total positive, if anything it's insulting on some level and also, those who give freebies away have less respect for those who take advantage and use their looks to their advantage. IF I got a job promotion or something along those lines based on my looks, that would bother me. It's one thing to be noticed and have men find you (general you) attractive, it's another to just BE a pretty face. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it could be because I don't have much confidence and/or that I kinda look weak, like a pushover. Link to post Share on other sites

Els Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 What about "Beauty and the Beast"? I think that her looks proved to be quite a burden for her to bear … In both tales, though, the beauty aspect caused a LOT of problems for the gals. ROFL. Disney aside, though, I could never buy into the 'oh woe is me for I am beautiful, such is the burden I must bear' rant. Beauty (I assume we're speaking purely about physical beauty here) is something that you must consciously and continuously maintain - that does not mean that any girl off the street can turn into Megan Fox with preening, but Megan Fox without preening can easily turn into any girl on the street. Cut her hair short, lose the makeup, wear sweatpants and loose sweater... Any girl can look plain if she truly wants. The fact that they are not doing so, is testament to the fact that they do not truly want to lose their beauty. V, I won't deny that good-looking folk probably have some advantage. But you know.. it's just one of the advantages that some people have in life. You were born to a reasonably wealthy family - advantage. You were born in a 1st-world country - advantage. You were born with high intelligence - advantage. So on and so forth. Getting hung up on one disadvantage when you have so many advantages is slightly disingenious. Link to post Share on other sites
Kamille Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I find I get the most attention when I don't wear any clothes, regardless of the condition of my face or body. And is that also when you get the best deals on your car repairs? Women, on the other hand, treat you coldly and snub you.

People, regardless of gender, are generally nice to me. . Does that mean I look average? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Star Gazer Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 People are generally nice to me, including people I find physically unattractive and stunningly gorgeous. I get paid what I'm worth and get promotions I deserve, not anything more. I don't get deals on car repairs or a gratuitous anything. Some folks call me on my occasional BS, others don't. Like Kam, I guess that means I'm average? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mme. Chaucer Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Star, it simply means you're not naked. Try going about your life butt naked. People will treat you differently. Any you might get a better deal on your lube job, too. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
