Have you ever used being pretty as an advantage?

Question

I’m a junior in highschool. I’ve realized that being pretty can get you a long way in school especially with passing your classes. I’m aware I’m pretty and sometimes if I don’t want to do work, I missed a class, don’t understand the work etc I’ll be really nice to usually a guy (sometimes a nerdy girl too but most of the time a guy), I’ll be like yeah I don’t understand it or I was busy so I didn’t get to finish it and majority of the time they’ll offer the answers or do the work for me. It works and I use it to get my way like when I want to sit in a certain seat someone’s already sitting at or when I went someone to get something or put something away from me in school etc. all I have to do is be really nice and friendly all of a sudden and they’ll do it bc I’m pretty. Yes I’m aware I’m using people. But does anyone else do this?

Of course it's a tool that is indescribably powerful it is THE power that is being a woman. Powerful enough to bring a full grown mass muscled man to the strength of a little girl but the problem with it is the ugliness it creates. This question shows me the ugliest woman I've ever met. The way you obviously get off on it is ugly. The way u talked about your fellow woman is ugly. This ugliness is the ugliness that destroys the value of the beauty you're speaking of. If you maintain this ugliness it will literally eat the beauty you speak of. God don't like ugly little girl. God gave us this power on purpose. To use when you have no other options but he gave us so much more so that we may have other options. Learn this now or He will teach you later. Ugliness inside seeps out and time gets us all. You came here looking for validation that what you say about people you think you're better than is normal and that you're not so bad but you won't get it from me and I'm a beautiful fully grown woman AND it turns out I'm not too bad to look at either. I'm disgusted by you and your arrogance but I'm trying to remind myself you are a child. Humble yourself child. You are better than no person and as physically beautiful you may be there will always be someone prettier. Allow yourself to have more value than that. A thing of lust.

Yeah I used to all the time. Back in high school I was really pretty, and really confident, and I have this cool tomboyish laid back personality so guys would fall for me left and right. There were so many guys chasing after me that my friends called them the raptor squad because I had to keep them at bay like Chris Pratt in the Jurassic Park movie. I had guys who would give me money, food, clothes, and more on a regular basis. I had guys who would drive me wherever I needed to guy. I had guys who I used for my own sexual needs so I just let them give me head (I never returned the favor or had sex with any of them). There was even one guy who had two dozen red roses sent to school for me. When I got to college my skin started breaking out and I gained weight so I lost a lot of confidence and I’m not as pretty any more. I also got into a relationship and so I had to cut off all the other guys. But even now when I’m struggling in classes I just cry and my professors will give me extra credit or let me retake tests or just boost my grade. I don’t feel bad about using any of these guys. I never told them that I wanted to date them or sleep with them. I never made any promises. Most of the time I didn’t even ask them for the things they did for me, they just volunteered. They wanted me to use them and so I did.

I, merely cute and not pretty, have used a big smile and charisma to get my way. I also realize that I'm not everyone's cup of tea and been told no as well. I let rejection keep me humble because pretty will only get you so far in life. The prettiest woman I've ever seen (irl) has had nothing but bad relationships because people only ever valued her looks, not who she is as a person.

I don't know if is the same thing since I am a man, but a lot of people think I'm handsome, even though I didn't think that, but I get girls to buy me things, sometimes just by chatting with them I get special treatment that others don't, I can talk to them in a mean way (not really, but telling some thing like you're so dumb or something like that), and I got really out of my hands, I tried to stop it, but it has became natural to me, now I feel bad about it, but I've also learned to roll with it, it's a kind a privilege that shouldn't exist but it does and there nothing you can do about it.

Kimmmm1 · Answer

I don't know if I'm pretty my confidence is practically non existent but I've definitely used being a girl over guys to get what I want. The most memorable time was when I had my IT teacher take my multiple choice IT exam 😂. I just sat there saying sir I don't understand it pleeeease help and he kept coming over and just pointing at which answer to click, in the end he sat next to me and would say whether the answer was option 1 2 3 or 4. I passed 😊.

curiousnorway · Answer

I wouldn't say I'm pretty, but I'm slim and in a good shape. I've not used it as an advantage socially, but I've in other ways. I can for example get comfortable on the buses and planes because of I takes little place as a slim, but short person. When it's crowded, I can also easily get from one place to another one without bumping too much into them because of I'm slim. People would be bothered if you're tall and big, but not that much if you're small. I stand out from the average Norwegian because of I've not gained as much weight as many others have.

ShyKI · Answer

Yes. Not for anything specific like money or for someone to buy me something.. moreover whenever I do dumb/bold shit that pisses my guy or girlfriends off. I just hug all on em and beg for forgiveness like the cute idiotic peasant I can be..

They usually say something like, "you're lucky you're adorable" or "you're like an adorably stupid puppy ughhh" or my favorite "I can't stay mad at a face like that"

I'm just like "thanks bisshh" or "I love youuuus" 🥺😝

latinabutterfly96 · Answer

The short (and sad) answer is Yes. People are superficial and assume things about you if you're pretty. They think you're automatically better somehow. But these days, anyone can be pretty. Put the effort to be that person only if it makes YOU happy. If not, then don't even bother, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Capnjaques · Answer

I like to think I'm a good looking guy, but I've got a lot of points in charisma and generally get along with everyone.

You know what works for me? Showing up, working hard, and being open and honest with my intentions. You'd be surprised how far you can get with that.

BreakingSound · Answer

It’s all fun and games until the wrong guy gets the wrong idea. I can’t help how people treat me, but I try to avoid taking advantage of people, period.

Anonymous · Answer

I do it all the time. I don't have a car now so when I want to go somewhere a little far and don't feel like paying for Uber I will use a guy to take me there and buy me stuff. I don't give anything in return but just by smiling and talking to them, many guys will offer to pay stuff, take me places and do things for me.
My mother always tell me to stop it thinking of the worst case coincidence but I don't want to because I know how much benefit I can get.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Im a handsome man and i use that all the time since most secretaries and such are women i ask them to waive fees and let me apply to things after the final date and stuff like that and it often works.

That being said id avoid using it as a crutch and instead use it to get further ahead. Ie dont be a shitty person assuming you can still get a man because you're hot. Instead still be a really good person and get a great man instead.

SpiderManFan2002 · Answer

I don't really consider myself pretty. I'm more average, but people have called me pretty before- so I guess, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 🤷🏾

Anyway, I don't use looks to get me anywhere... I don't wanna objectify myself.

Tyladron · Answer

I sadly am not very good looking so I couldn't do this myself, and if someone were really good looking and attempted to use me like that I would instead lf just giving them what they need instead try to help them In say learning how to do what they missed, not just give answers, or help them out in a way that isn't just letting them get away with something they shouldn't get away with for free.

Jooying · Answer

People do tend to treat good looking people nicer. Easier to forgive, more patient to fix problems for them, and yes I do a lot even I don’t think I am really a "pretty" girl.

SydneySentinel · Answer

No, it was kind of too late by the time I realized that I could have. I do think that there's "pretty privilege" where people already give more lenience to you if you're attractive.
