Let’s put all the ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ stuff aside. We’re all fascinated by good looks. As humans, we are naturally drawn to good looking/attractive/beautiful/pretty people or things.

As a beautiful woman, you always get the favours, the free drinks, much easier to get a job (but not when the employer is a female). Life somehow moves quite smooth (or so it seems) for you.

Some men find pretty women intimidating. On the other hand, there are certain men who aren’t intimidated by beauty and will actively and confidently pursue.  They are seldom the sorts who make good long-term partners, let alone soul mates.

Being beautiful can be ugly, sometimes through no fault of the person but entirely through stereotypes. Why is it ugly?

ALL beautiful/pretty girls are deemed DUMB: Beauty is beastly when it comes to ‘brains’. People underestimate your intelligence anywhere you go. Some common phrases as ‘oh, you’ve got brains as well’ or ‘I didn’t know the intelligence voice on the phone was pretty as well’.

When you do succeed, people tend to discount all the hard work, discipline, perseverance, intelligence, and talent that went into that hard won success – success was achieved due to looks and not brains. No matter how knowledgeable or smart you are, you’re simply not taken seriously. You are not even given the opportunity to show your real skills or what you’re made of.

Some people mistakenly assume that really good looking people are vain because they spend all their time fussing over their appearance.

Beautiful women get stereotyped as being arrogant or a bitch: Your life in people’s eye is always based on assumptions – being conceited or too inward looking. It is always ‘I never thought you were this nice and friendly’.

You remain single for a very long time: The men are chasing you alright but you’re still single. You cannot tell whether you’re needed as a trophy because of your looks or what you have within.

The very good guy around the corner finds it intimidating to approach you. He thinks you’re ‘taken’ or out of his league so will not even make the conscious effort to approach you. Since most guys see good looking girls as sex objects, you’re approached with the assumption that you’re loose and ever ready to get laid. It is always the players that rear their ugly heads.

Jealousy/envy from your ‘friends’. They may not show but there is always that jealousy when in town with friends because you obviously get all the attention. It’s much worse if these friends are married or in relationships. They are very reluctant to introduce you to partners and husbands because your presence in their homes is always a recipe for disaster. There is the lingering thought that you’ll chase her husband or boyfriend. If your friend is married and is reluctant to give you her address – don’t push it.

It is hard to take away prejudice. We’re all created in a unique way; with our unique abilities. The only reason why beauty could work to your disadvantage is if you allow it to replace your brains. If you only see the world through your beauty, it won’t work because the effects don’t last long. Personality conquers the assumptions
