Physically attractive women treated badly?

[Anonymous]

Hi guys! I noticed some women (especially young women of similar age as me) tend to treat me badly, especially at the workplace. It’s nothing too obvious, but I noticed subtle things like trying to talk over me all the time, being more harsh to me when they are super friendly with everyone else, even excluding me from plans organized by them (but when a different coworker organizes a plan they always include me), this kind of stuff. I am pretty sure I am nice and friendly to them and I didn’t do anything bad to them. I don’t notice this behavior from men, only from some women at the workplace (not all women obviously).

The thing is, I am physically attractive (I don’t want to sound arrogant or something, I know is not nice to say it like that, but it’s the truth), so I started to wonder if there is a correlation.

Do you think they treat me bad because of that? Is this common among physically attractive woman or am I being a little paranoid? If not, what is the problem?

Thanks!

Literally every girl I've ever dated, and my wife, have been treated like shit but other girls in the work place. This is just a fact of reality. And one day, you'll probably be old and heavier and treat young skinny girls like shit too. Circle of life.

Surprisingly, I find older women treat me way better than women my age. I think older women tend to have their life together and just don’t care. But younger women who are less attractive (and lack confidence) are the worst.

Ah, that makes sense too actually. The younger ones are more competitive with you because you're younger too. Just so you know I was mostly joking about how you might be one day.

Yeah. A lot of guys who hate women for whatever reason will tie themselves to a REALLY pretty or smart woman just to find ways to gaslight her and "take her down a few notches."

(Guys, I hate to say that, however having lived through it and seen several of my female friends also live through it, I know that these sorts of guys exist... though I also know it's not ALL GUYS who are like this.)

I think it's an instinct to push their confidence down so they are driven into the arms of a better bully to hide behind. And it is usually the best bully who creates this environment in the first place.

Yes, they don’t do anything too strong, so I cannot really complain about being bullied. But they have subtle behaviors like being slightly harsh, saying something harmful (but subtle). Sometimes I get home in the afternoon feeling sad and I don’t really know why, then I notice it’s because these little things.

I saw a guy the other day saying "mean girls is reversed now its the fat girls being mean"

In my experience, it has always been like that, mean girls have always been the less attractive ones. I know all this sounds horrible and politically incorrect to say, but it’s true.
