People get easy intimidated.
Thinks they doesn't have a chance (hard to reach) .
Assume your low intelligent especially if you look well trained or buff, thinks you're dumb as a bimbo if you're blond.

The funny thing is do you have a look that's above a certain social standard people assume your taken, they don't have a chance, sometimes someone that only sleeps around cheats, no intelligence.
Are you the group below that they tends to see you as a peace of meat to fuck and tries to get in your pants, this also applies to the other group if they get a chance or just dreams and drool.
For both, people tends to make themselves extra available to get them and doesn't get the person most times.

Girl's do this shit have I noticed and it's creepy as fuck. when they do begin to talk to you they comes with shallow compliments, relies on the snowball effect that you shall take over the conversation and leads it. tries to shovel body parts in your face, enlighten body parts extra obvious instead of talking and give the rights non verbal signals they are in to you as more than just sex, tends to skip getting to know the other one. sometimes tries to flip the coin that you should do the deep connection with them and they shouldn't need to do it just because you should have it by default as a man.
Anyway all this is creepy behavior and makes you as one in the bunch that gives a similar feeling as boring shallow person.

Expectations from other people, women mostly. Now I don't consider myself model material but I suppose I'm actually easy to look at and if the lighting is bad then I'm fucking stunning but I get a lot of women asking me out because in their mind I have it all, one even said I'm all that, don't know what it means but I assume it's a compliment she also said she'd destroy me and have me begging for more. She got really annoyed when I turned her down saying to me that two good looking people should get together, bit messed up if you ask me but yeah that happens a lot.

I'm not saying I am attractive, attraction is subjective. Some guys I talked to were surprised I was single and a virgin. They were also shocked I didn't have many friends and didn't hang out with the popular group. So, that must mean the disadvantage is people always assume something about you. They think you have a boyfriend, have had sex and only hang out with the "cool" kids. I've also witnessed others judging attractive people saying they have looks so no brains. They don't believe you can have both. Honestly the thing about being hit on a lot, I think anyone can be hit on frequently if they have confidence, take care of themselves and make themselves visibly availablem

Expectancies of interest, character, and preference of style in clothing. People will expect you to be all out going, all popular, bad or mean, and wearing the cutest and trendiest clothes, but if your not, they just start judging you and giving you stares. Some People started questioning my character and assumed I would be some mean stuck up girl, not trying to boast about my looks or nothing. This guy I knew came up to me asked me why I didn't cuss and said " oh I thought you were like one of those mean ghetto girls"

jazal · Answer

Sadly, most people quickly assume your personality and life from your looks. That goes along whether you've good, bad or average appearance. When you are attractive physically they think you probably are not a good person or some arrogant ass****. It is like they wanna balance something good that you have with something bad to average you out to something mediocre.
It becomes too much of a burden and a threat to their own mediocrity to have 'you' as an exception in their worldview. Similar goes with people in the opposite situation. If you look ugly and poor then you must have a character somehow and that you deserve kindness in this harsh world. We hardly forget how they caution us saying "All that glitters is not gold". If you look good then it clearly shows that it IS important for you. It is not all in the "genes" as they say. You have to actually put real effort in taking care of yourself to sustain those good looks.

From what I've seen (I'm not saying I'm attractive):

- They won't get to know you and make a lot of assumptions e. g. someone said you can't be smart & pretty or assume you slept with a lot of people + almost like they can't handle the fact someone's attractive AND intelligent.. Focus is more on appearance than personality
- You don't always get approached more by girls
- Nothing feels genuine e. g. friends who aren't friends and just hope to reap some rewards you get just by being around you
- Random people taking pictures of you or feel like they can touch you🙃
- Feeling like you can't complain about gaining weight or feeling not pretty / insecure
- Social rejection from other people
- If you get e. g. a job some people will just say: "Yeah because you're pretty"
- I don't think being attractive will always give you higher self esteem + if you're e. g. shy it's very unwanted attention

The primary disadvantage is for pretty young women seeking employment. Managers are choosing to not hire young pretty women because, if a women falsely claims sexual harassment, there is a much greater risk that a pretty women will be believed. That is because, people would believe a good looking guy would do something if the girl is beautiful; not so much if she is big homely girl or a much older woman.

AlexanderBrunnrgaard · Answer

People, women mostly, automatically assume you're an arrogant asshole, especially if you happen to be confident as well as attractive.
Jokes about yourself must always be derogatory, otherwise your friends get insecure.
People either really like you or hate you, no in betweens.

But as far as I'm concerned there's way more advantages than disadvantages. And the disadvantages you learn to live with.

I’ve been hit on a few times, it’s awkward and embarrassing, but I’m not even attractive, I can’t imagine how often attractive people get hit on, it must be so annoying. Although at least attractive people are getting hit on by other attractive people whereas I’m getting it on by unattractive people lol.

ClearCyan · Answer

The beauty = no brains is definitely not true. Most of the time it's the personality that makes people assume your intelligence. That or the way you dress. Which makes sense if you think about it.

Pinay_ako · Answer

Sometimes people think you are dumb and cannot do anything smart because you're more beauty than brains...

Dchrls78104 · Answer

1. Everyone wants what is pretty, and nothing pretty comes easy or cheap.
2. To maintain what is pretty usually costs a lot in terms of time, resources (money), and effort, because you want to keep it that way as long as possible.
