Do pretty girls get treated better or worse in the real world?

[Anonymous]

I notice on social media that guys and girls are always complimenting the hottest women and giving them so much positive attention.

However, I personally know several hot girls in the real world who don't get much attention, rarely get approached, and in fact have been called "ugly" by other people, including guys who tell them that they are not so pretty.

Has anyone observed the same phenomenon?

I would say the cons outweigh the pros in my case. I'm considered very attractive by everyone and the pros are that I get a lot of attention from guys, most of the times it's unwanted and I get a bit uncomfortable. I'm not a flirty or attention seeking girl, I'm a one-man woman and I just like getting attention from the guy I like. Rest don't matter to me honestly.

The problem is is that even though I do get a lot of attention, most guys are too intimidated to approach me and just keep staring at me. I'm extremely shy so the chances of me approaching them are also very slim. So I guess that most guys will think that I'm a stuck up bitch because of my negative body language (which is nothing but shyness). It gets annoying after some time.

Guys are also extra polite to me, are ready to do me favours and are eager to become my friends (of course their ultimate aim is something else). I get compliments from everyone and well that's about it.

The biggest con is is that you get pretty lonely. Some of my closest friends (even my best friend) started getting jealous of me and I was really hurt by that so I cut them off from my life. Basically I've learnt that pretty girls should be friends with pretty girls otherwise you're in for a lot of bullying and envy/jealousy.

There have been girls in my class who I was nothing but nice to but they still kept on being bitchy and mean to me for no reason. It really affected me in a bad way. I mean what did I do to deserve it?

Both depending on what we're talking about.

Overall attractive people are generally treated better by society as a whole. But I do know plenty of attractive females whom are hated by other girls and treated badly by them simply because they're attractive and they feel threatened by that and jealous.

There's also the fact that attractive people (male and female) are much more likely to get raped/sexually assaulted than an unattractive person (not saying they don't get raped too, they do).

The girls that you're taking about that don't get approached are most likely giving off the unapprochable vibe (not smiling/arms crossed kind of body language etc.)

Worse actually... Because if you turn a guy down because you have morals, they go nuts. You get hit on by creepy people and the things they say make you squirm and feel uncomfortable. Online, girls have some sort of control on how people react to their photos and status: blocking, changing who can see it, and removing comments. And, also, some guys get too intimidated to talk to pretty girls so they dont. Girls might even judge you for your looks and not hang out with you too. And no one takes you seriously. It's an uphill battle because everyone thinks you get better treatment but you don't.

A bit from coloumn A, and a bit from column B.

If you're an "attractive" woman in today's society, there are certain perks like getting drinks for free, and getting a certain amount of attention.

However, there are lots of downsides, too; such as not being sure as to whether or not someone cares about you as a person, or if they just think you're hot. Other girls getting jealous, catty and cruel because they feel insecure around you (they instantly see you as competition, whether you warrant it or not), etc.

Bit of a double-edged knife, really.

It's true that attractive people tend to get more attention and better treatment from others. But ultimately it still depends on their personality and the way they carry themselves. I've seen some pretty girls/handsome dudes who don't get noticed because they are shy/quiet. I've also seen people who are average looking/unattractive that are popular and treated nicely because they are nice people. And then there are jerks who hate and bully good-looking people because they are jealous and insecure.

[AaronTupaz]

The girls you probably consider hot girls, are probably not hot or pretty to the average guy. From my experience, most girls do not perceive physical beauty towards other girls the same way as the typical guy,

[Bleh-___-]

Better. I've been on both sides of the ugly/pretty spectrum and I can say with certainty that the way people treated me once my appearance changed was very different from when I was ugly af.

[Anonymous]

The root of the problem here is that for some reason that remains a mystery to me, women seem to think they know better than men do what is attractive to men. I'm constantly amused by how often women try to tell me which women are attractive and which aren't. They often get it totally wrong.

[Anonymous]

That's accurate, but in real world they also get a lot of unnecessary/unwanted attention.

[Warmapplecrumble]

I'm always called ugly and was bullied all my life for my my looks.

Lmao I never got anything from my looks. But I don't think I'm a hot woman on social media.

[Leimarie]

Attractive people do tend to get more attention, but that may be negative attention (like cat calls or other harassment) or positive attention (such as more likes on their Facebook pictures).

[Sebastian777]

there's no such thing as universal beauty, only what each individual perceives as beautiful.
Also, hotter babes are more difficult to approach compared to less attractive ones

[backtoblackkkk]

Overall, they get treated better. There are some instances though where some people get jealous and try to bring attractive people down.

[anmari2001]

depends on look, characteristic (for girls who don't look that good or just average) and popularity

[TheMoroccangirl]

Worse if we talk about females.
Better if we talk about males.

[JohnDoe3000]

Better, though sometimes other girls will be bitchy to them.

Better. I'm pretty attractive if I say so myself and I do notice I get better service than less attractive counterparts.

[Asker]

What kind of service are you talking about? If it's restaurant service, I doubt it has much to do with your appearance. Heck, I have had to flirt with customers just to get tips.

If it's something like guys offering to buy you drinks and do favors for you, then I agree.

[Opinion Owner]

It is restaurants and retail. But also at work. Whenever I have questions or need help, my make coworkers go out of their way to help me out. They don't do the same for the older, less attractive females. When I was single and went out , i rarely walked away without someone's number or vice versa. It's sad to say but I really do think attractive people have a slight advantage in the world.

But don't get me wrong. I'm nowhere near a 10. My own boyfriend says I'm a 7 at my best day :/

[Asker]

Your boyfriend is an asshole for saying that. He should make you feel as if you're a 10, even if he doesn't think you are.

[Opinion Owner]

Hahahaha believe me he learned his lesson. He won't ever say that again lol

[Guru_]

your right the prettiest girl get more attention but only for a while and the person who achieve something best in life gets attention forever.

[lordgrifis]

No. When a girl is pretty, i ever seen her being treated well, online and offline.

[MeGo99]

To be honest better because most guys in this world are horny

[alyboy]

In my opinion it should not depend on looks... it depends on mentality of the person who is treating them...

[Anonymous]

IRL I usually see it where pretty girls are treated worse by other girls and better by men.

[An7sh]

it depends on the person who compare between preety and ugly

[chitwan]

well that's true but not always

[thedarknight88]

better that's a stupid question

[blondfrog]

Better and hot guys get treated better too.
