What advice would you give to a woman who has always gotten by on her looks in the past?

[Puppystarfish23]

I'm 25 and I'm not gonna get any younger my biggest fear is getting old and becoming invisible to society.

I wouldn't say I'm extremely beautiful but I'm average and I have a very cute, sweet look to me meaning most people are kind to me and are always willing to help me out and are a lot more understanding.

a lot of people think I'm younger than I am too as to why people are a lot nicer to me when I mess up because they think I'm new to everything.

I'm constantly fucking up things and I always end up relying on the kindest of others but I worry when I get older people will just see me as stupid and laugh at me no one will want to help me or trust me anymore

I would advise you to find a good man and fast. Find some good female role models not toxic ones. Women who act like women. Learn from them. Make sure you communicate with your man A LOT. Don't argue with him, discuss with him. Don't disagree, pose a different approach. Use your head more and your looks less. You should be fine in the long run.

To find a good man and invest the remaining youth and beauty you have in him so that you can secure commitment. Else when you grow older and your SMV declines, no man is going to want to commit to you either. It's not fair for a man to work all his life, earn value and then "settle" for someone who has enjoyed their youth and sees them as an insurance policy.

Why would she be looking worse?

[DextroShade]

@Malwi93 because she's aged, duh!

[Fireguy17]

enjoy it now, as we age your body changes, so it will be harder and harder to get by on just your looks as you get older.
And guys that are just into someone's looks are probably not all that interested in having a healthy relationship with anyone.
I have found that I really need to like the person that I am with.
Looks are not that all important, her personality is first and foremost.
Beauty fades, dumb is forever.

So... you want some sort of advice from we mere uglies for when your prettiness privilege is revoked by life?

Fine. Get used to taking care of yourself. Your worries are entirely founded and will inevitably come to pass unless you somehow find yourself in a permanent relationship... which is becoming less and less common now. BUT as long as you can handle yourself completely fine alone, it shouldn't ever be severely problematic. Just get used to NOT using your looks as a crutch.

[DextroShade]

Listen very carefully: YOU NEED A MAN!

You are right to worry about getting less help and attention as you age, especially from men. If you marry a good man he will still take care of you even after your youth and beauty fade, but you had better give him your best years if you want him to be there for you in your worst years. The younger you start looking for a husband the higher quality man you can get.

Who do you want to be in a few years? If you were hideous tomorrow or if you could only be judged by actions and personality how would your peers perceive you? You have to look at yourself and create a plan as to who you want to become or what you want to achieve. Only you can do that for yourself

[strateguy632]

when you think about the future then remind yourself to "stay in now" what are you doing now what is the next thing to do now.

[worldscolide]

That the wall is coming and it hits hard and fast. Looks are fleeting, skill and personality last forever.
