If someone is being annoying, offensive, creepy or weird, I tell them on their face... without any hesitation. Being attractive doesn't mean they don't act or say anything out of the line or I wouldn't call them out on it. I'd rather spend time with people who are below average than good looking but annoying little buggers.

True, but only once I realized that attraction isn’t a free pass.

Desire doesn’t excuse disrespect, and charm can’t replace boundaries.

I’ve learned that my standards never bend, no matter who catches my eye.

@still-alive I just try to be humble 😄 like so many inspiring figures 😅🫠😈😇  Lol. Ah well - though who knows if in return they're equally forgiving in return "she'd say - but because that guy was hot, I'm gonna giggle smile politely without it being flirting either" -  Versus - death stare cold face or annoyed look - 👀😶

Ah, yes, it happens, when I see a really hot girl, she can get away with almost anything, I really can't do anything about it :P

Truth be told I’m a little stricter when a guy tries to get past basic flirty level with me. One of my guy friends chided me about it, but… I prefer to keep the flirty goofballs at arm’s length or further.

There are two parts to this.
1) It is only you and that person
That person gets away with more when you want them more. Regardless of why you want them (could even be you just respect their knowledge and want to learn from them), you will let them get away with more based on how much you want them.
2) There are others around
To not let the person get away with it is to make a scene and when other people are around, they tend to side with the more popular person, whether because of attraction, the way the hold themselves, how well known they are, or anything else. If you believe that person is likely to be defended, you are more likely to let them get away with it.

For both 1 and 2, more attractive people are more likely to fit the scenario that lets them get away with it. So, it is kind of true that more attractive people get away with things, but it is also kind of indirectly related.

Nope. To be honest I probably have a bias towards calling out beautiful women on their entitled behavior just to see if they have any awareness of their own entitlement. Spoiler alert... they often (not always) do not. Trust Fund Barbie is not used to hearing the word no and simply can't understand why someone is "gaslighting" or "attacking" her with the truth. Sometimes I'm doing it playfully because there's no malice in them, they're just clueless. Sometimes I'm vicious and I go straight for their deepest insecurities because they are straight up assholes to other people.

LOL, I once ran my index finger across one arrogant asshole's bare shoulders and told her with a totally straight face that she should consider a back wax. While we were standing in a group. And she was in a mood to insult everyone around her. The look on her face was priceless. by the way her nickname was "Crazy Lisa". She shut up instantly. Target destroyed.

It really does depend on the severity of the behavior. I was a personnel manager for a chain restaurant, so we had policies that applied across the board to everyone, equally. In my personal life, all the women I went out with were women I was attracted to, so I don't remember it being a factor. LOL

Nice question, I will be lying if I said false.

Obviously I did let someone attractive to get away with a behaviour that is considered very wrong to do. Let's just say it made me horny and I enjoyed it so I can't complain even though it's morally wrong and shouldn't be done to anyone.

If people are honest with themselves, I think this is 100% yes. It’s just instinctual sometimes

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

This I think was more of a test of self awareness than anything else 😂

LiamJHayden · Answer

If anything I am more forgiving of the behaviors of less conventionally attractive and socially awkward people than I am of conventionally attractive but entitled people.
