Do you think there are any disadvantages about being conventionally pretty or handsome?

Less attractive people getting jealous is a disadvantage I think

Because sometimes people can turn violent and mean when they feel jealous.

Yes I do indeed. People have all types of insecurities about dating and relationships. I will say that I am at worse a moderately handsome man... probably less so in my 40's than 20's but still to some degree handsome. I still do well enough.

But when attractive people approach women with low self-esteem they tend to assume that you are only interest in sexy, because other wise why would they be interest in them? They tend to feel they have nothing to offer someone better looking then how they see themselves, so good looking people are only trying to take advantage of them.

A few. But the ups always beat the downs I mean people shouldn't kid themselves, beauty is a pro. But a few downs might be people putting you down in jealousy, always having to make derogatory about yourself beacause even the slightest positive joke is seen as arrogant. Some people assuming you're gay, or a player/douchebag. But I think that's it really.

I’m not conventionally attractive so I can’t say anything from personal experience but a lot of the girls I know who are usually have some sort of mental issue

People don't take you seriously. You have to put in extra effort to prove yourself because people think you're dumb.

[SlothySlob]

Well yes, as with everything, certain stereotypes a applied to you and with them, certain expectations.

i feel like it has less disadvantages than someone who is ugly/average though

Conventionally? What do u mean? If someone's attractive they attractive,... And to most people too. These no need for the word conceptually... If your ugly your ugly. If your hot your hot

I've had some girls tell me im too hot and id for sure only want sex and not be into a relationship with them since im too good looking and could do better.

[awkward_author]

I'm sure there are. One of them might be that people don't take you as seriously.
