What are the cons of being an attractive woman?

[Anonymous]

Besides the fact that attractive women get unwanted attention from creepers and guys that ARE NOT attractive and ones that ARE NOT bad boys. That's like the total obvious con. Oh and besides the fact that they don't get approached by guys. This is obviously false. There is no way that they are approached by NO men. It's something made up by ugly girls.

The problem I found is that a lot of the time guys assume things. Some feel that it's alright to use you because you’re attractive and they want you, others won't even give you a chance at a real relationship because they assume you’re just this slutty type of girl. Like I've known some really nice guys, but if I showed any sexual interest or if I flirted with them a lot they would assume it was a part of my personality as appose to me just being genuinely interested. I'm also really shy. I can get pretty nervous when talking to guys that I like & that doesn't always come off too well. Sometimes it can appear that I'm disinterested, or not very bright. Another problem is that I have a lot of guy friends. Eventually they find girlfriends. I’m normally the first person they stop being friends with. I’ve been pretty hurt a lot by guys that I thought were really truly friends of mine. They would go MIA on me for their girlfriends & I’d never hear from them again. If I ever tried to see what was up, or sometimes try to get in touch with them, or tell them how I felt they were always scared to talk with me and sometimes distant, or cold like we were never friends in the first place. I’ve had guys call me “prude” and a “tease” if I didn’t want to sleep with them, or I would be told things like, “You’re not the miss thing you think you are”, without them ever really getting to know me and really talking to me.

F***ING TRUE. Ugh. Guys make assumptions about me all the time. I feel you, girl.

Being pretty is a curse I swear. If I meet a guy I like, I immediately want to get to know him better as a person. Every single boy I've been involved with just wants to hook up with me. Every. Single. One. They don't see past my ass or my face no matter how hard I try. I'm so sick of it. I don't even put out anymore. Still doesn't work.

Recently almost entered into my first relationship but the guy just led me on for a month because I was "really hot" until he found a subpar girl

I think it's an ego boost and they're not even serious about liking me but it's so frustrating

IT'S A CURSE.

Oh, and girls also tend to dislike you because they feel threatened by you or some bullsh*t. I'm actually super friendly but no one ever sees that

Well, there are many guys who will go past your looks. However, those guys usually are not attractive. Yes there are many girls who think like you that all guys just want to get into a hot girl's pants. I don't know about you, but the other girls that claims that because all guys they find attractive are looking for a hook up. Guys that they don't find attractive are the ones that treat the good looking women/girls best.

Umm...Girls hate you a lot more. Girls will just start hating me if a guy they like talks to me or something. It's really annoying.

Sometimes people assume there's not much to you except being pretty.

I'm self-conscious about wearing tight dresses because I think I'll look too slutty. Along those lines, I feel like I have to be very careful in the office where I work so I don't seem too pretty, because I think it will seem inappropriate.

You feel like you have to keep up the appearance of being attractive all the time.

Looks like no one read the actual question. Attractive girls get both approached AND asked out all the time. He also said not to list that answer. I'll throw in some REAL answers.

1) It is assumed attractive women are successful because they are... attractive. Never mind that they can be smart, hard working individuals.

2) Sexual discrimination is more likely for attractive women. They bring out primal urges in men that some men can't control, so they blame the women for it. "You're too damned good looking so I'll fire you before I end up cheating on my wife." Scumbag boss is a scumbag.

3) Jealousy. Other women have been known to pass over job applications of more attractive women due to the jealousy factor. They don't want to be over-shadowed by a hot babe.

4) Expectations. Attractive women are expected to remain attractive, and people are quick to notice when their looks start to slide. Therefor they have to spend even more time prettying up than more average women.

The only person thus far to answer the thread properly. Damn I'm good.

They are some of the loneliest girls on Earth. Some are not approached because their beauty is really amazing, and some guys think that she's out-of-their-leagues.

They are sometimes seen as a sexual object.

THIS answer. Couldn't agree more.

[LemonHaircut]

Amen!

That is very true, they just say that so men could feel sorry for them. Hot girls don't get approached. I wonder how many men approached, messaged, im, called, and etc... Yet they ignore all these guys and continue to say they get no attention.

I think pretty women get approached by guys, yes, but a lot of times they don't get asked out. Or they get complimented on their looks.
