How do people react to attractive people vs. unattractive people?

I first met my husband in the church hall after mass. I was 14 and never had any intrest in men before that day. We were introduced and I shook his hand and looking at this charming tall handsome attractive man and the tactile contact with his hand I instantly felt a quiver, like my knees were weak and I could barely speak, I wouldn't say I orgasmed but it was like that intense feeling just before you do, i was soaking, i could feel it dripping down my leg. When I got i had to change my underwear and that night I had the most vivid wet dream. We would talk and be friendly whenever we met out and about and different things but I didn't think he liked me because I'm so short and he was so much older than me. I found out he liked me when I met him at the local leisure centre at the health suite after swimming. I was in a one piece swimsuit, nothing too risqué but I caught him sneaking a peack as I walked by, he was in a pair of swim shorts and so while talking outside the steam room I glanced down and he had the biggest erection. I was shocked and embarrassed, i said nothing and just stared, he left embarrassed. We discussed it a few days later at church and he apologised explaining he didn't know what happened. I told him I knew exactly what happened and that he'd nothing to be sorry about and that maybe he should take me out some time. He did and we married when I turned 16, by 17 we were parents. We are very happy together.

While not getting much attention can be nice it makes me feel kinda sad sometimes. I'm a nice, polite person but tbh the way people treat me sometimes has kind of hardened my heart. I'll offer polite smiles to people as I pass them in the grocery store and often get ignored or even frowned at in return. I've been out with friends who've been approached and offered free drinks while I just kinda stood there. It's a bit embarrassing sometimes.

Ironically, both are treated equally bad in different ways.

For unattractive people it's more explicit/expected. People act like they're above you just because you're considered ugly. They ignore you. They're rude to you. They borderline treat you as subhuman.

For attractive people it's somewhat more subtle and not immediately recognizable, because how could beauty be a bad thing, right? But look closer! People acting like they're your best friends just to get into your pants. If you're a woman and you're attractive, you run a huge risk of being raped anywhere at any time. You never really know who to trust because you're not sure if they actually like you for you or just your appearance alone and nothing else.

So yeah. For unattractive people it's more obvious, while for attractive people you gotta dig a little deeper, but both is equally as bad.

All in all, being average is the best way to go, as boring/basic that may sound. That way people don't have strong opinions about your appearance one way or the other.

And as an average person you can make yourself more or less attractive accordingly. More attractive? Put on some really nice makeup and wear a nice dress and heels. Less attractive? Dress in really baggy frumpy clothes and don't style your hair.

So yeah. Both attractive and unattractive is a pain in the ass. Average is usually the middle ground.

Attractive people are blessed with  a lot of  attention and cursed with a lot of attention. Unattractive people are blessed by  a lack of  attention and cursed with a lack of attention. It feels really better to be in-between, life gets simpler, as well as relation to people in general.  Neutral attraction seems to be the majority case , from what I see. I have sympathy for the minorities though :)

People often subconsciously respond more positively to attractive individuals, associating them with qualities like confidence and success. Attractive individuals might receive more social attention and perceived trustworthiness. However, attractiveness can sometimes lead to envy or unrealistic expectations. In contrast, those deemed less conventionally attractive might experience bias or undervaluation. It’s essential to recognize and challenge these biases to ensure fair and kind interactions. 🌟😊

Attractive people usually get better reactions

Depends who you are. Conservatives tend to bash imperfect people the most.

I respect pretty much anyone unless they give off a disrespectful vibe. I have worked with a lot of disabled people who were not blessed to lack disfigurement. Great people.

Unattractive people get the hatred from beginning, attractive ones get condensed hate after haters recognized they don't get what they want

It has always been weird to me how guys will say that women are “shallow”

…. as if those SAME guys aren’t just as shallow. Some of them need to look at a girl they find “ugly” and realize that that is how most women view them

Attractive people intimidate others. They attract jealousy if they are not confident

Who cares? You have to make the most of what you have to work with. A lot of someone's attractiveness has little to do with DNA

Sorry if I don't answer the question but men will receive their first flower at their funeral. Sadly, women just laugh at this fact and they flaunt about being selfish!

What make them attractive or unattractive part of it is their personality.
