Being Pretty Can Hurt
Can being attractive actually have a negative effect on a persons life?
The answer is Yes, it absolutely can hurt a person in some aspects of their life. Here are some reasons why being pretty can do you more harm then good .
Trouble Making Female Friends
Research shows that people feel threatened by beauty and when encountering someone beautiful, they may plan to put them down out of fear or even jealousy"Pretty Girl Syndrome/Pretty Girl Effect".
Women find you to be a risk factor and tend to distrust you,( especially around their men).
All women have vanity and some have it much more than others.
People Think You're Nothing But Looks.
Attractive people may get lots of attention but none of it is usually good and none of it really even counts, until someone is willing to look beyond that beauty, which takes a very rare type of person.
Being beautiful and only seen based on your looks makes you feel alone, depressed and even suicidal. You feel like no one sees you past your looks. You feel like an object to the world not a person.
People naturally assume you are dumb, arrogant, or shallow based only on your looks and don't take the time to find out any differently by getting to know you.
The Attention Can Be Dangerous
On any night out you might encounter one of those assholes that think sex is a “right” and get angry when denied the opportunity.
Because of the sheer volume of sexual interest a pretty woman receives when out, she’s more likely to encounter predators while out (it's just simple math).
Can Hurt Her Career
While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, implicit sexist prejudices can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require authority.
Female colleagues still consider gorgeous women to be a threat regardless of their position in the work place and men would rather hit on them than hire them usually. They are again viewed as objects and nothing more.
