It's a bit of a mixed bag, I think.
They get some things easily because of their looks, but the reverse happens as well.
My gal was having problems with her old car, for the last year or so that she had it. The guys at the garage simply didn't take her seriously at first, so I had to get involved, when I was actually pretty busy, and could have really done without it.
They slowly started to respect her, and are now eating out of the palm of her hand, basically. Same with workmen we've had working on the house. There's an initial assumption that she's either ditzy and couldn't possibly know anything OR that she's completely academic and stuck up, none of which are true, and I know this frustrates her.
Yes. Being an attractive woman is like playing the game of life on easy mode. Men (and some women) are going to trip over themselves to help you whenever you should need it. Beautiful women can use their seducing powers to get ahead in life. Attractive women can have all their necessities handed to them if they choose. If you are an attractive woman there are tons of guys out there willing to wait on you hand and foot.
Absolutely. I think people are missing the fact that just because life isn’t 100% cruisey and perfect doesn’t mean stunning people aren’t given an extra advantage in most aspects of their life. Statistics show attractive people earn more, they have more prospects dating, people are kinder to them etc which is a step up from not being on the receiving end of those benefits due to homeliness.
Just because life isn’t perfect doesn’t mean life isn’t easier when you’re attractive.
Not necessarily. Is life always easy for a Bronzed Adonis?

Beautiful women can struggle too, just like anyone else. They might have it very easy to get a lot of good sex but outside of that, I don't see many advantages. Simply being pretty doesn't protect you from getting very sick, losing a close friend or family member, having a horrific accident, becoming the victim of a crime or simply being poor.
The kind of beautiful women who make it to the top (supermodels and actresses etc.) usually do so because they have already been born into considerable wealth and social status.
It's similar to being intelligent. Especially in a country such as the US, you can be very smart and never make it to college. And then there are politicians and CEOs who are complete morons but their family happens to belong to the 1%, so they got to attend Harvard or Yale.
Yes they are and I don’t mean to antagonize them but pretty women often have things given to them on a silver platter.
Pretty women have a higher chance of getting a job, getting a date and overall get treated as if they are queens.
not necessarily things may be easier but things may also be harder.
We all have our issues. This question is comparable to "are rich people living life on easy mode?" Yeah, there are certain advantages to being rich. And, money is an indicator of happiness levels: less you have, the more unhappy you are. But, simply because one is rich does not inherently give that person the ability to dodge all of life's cruelties.
For instance, I went to rehab several times as a teenager. Strangely enough, there were many excessively beautiful teens in there with me. Even excessively beautiful and excessively rich teens. Like, an inordinate amount. The stories many of these kids told would wrench anyone's heart. Growing up being molested and abused, slicing or burning their bodies up, or just struggling with mental illness. Just because they were 9s and 10s didn't save them from mental illness or poor circumstances. In many cases, their good looks predisposed them to horrible situations.
Attractive people may have many advantages, but to go along with those, can they ever trust that someone actually gives a fuck about them and not just their appearance? Having an advantage in one area means having disadvantages associated with that, as well.
And, we're all very aware of the competition and jealousy that is common among women. Sometimes this can express itself severely, for instance stories of women pouring acid on beautiful women's faces, or setting them on fire, as a "You're ugly now, bitch" type thing. Not to mention more routine "shunning" or resentment and jealousy isolating them from less beautiful women.
I would say that ultra hot women do *generally* have life easier than those of lesser attractiveness. But, I wouldn't say that they live life on "easy mode", and I wouldn't say that simply having quasi-perfect looks automatically exempts them from terrible suffering. It doesn't.
As the Buddhists say, life is pain. We will all suffer in this life. We all fight our own battles. And we all have advantages and disadvantages. Life isn't easy. I don't care who you are. Life is not easy. Life is struggle and pain.
There are advantages for pretty girls im not gonna deny they have one up sometimes but easy is not a word id use.
Lets see if i can make it detailed as asked...
I mean, you get hit on and catcalled a lot, and when you say you're not interested you're called a bitch/whore/slut [or they can do worse stuff], some people think you're stuck up before they even get to know you, girls think you're tryin to "steal their man" when you just talk to the dude like any other person. It easy to be isolated from other females just by being there. Just going out is an event cause you dont want drama but it follows you. And I dont know about many other girls but to stay in that 9-10s pretty you have to maintain it for (e. g workouts and beauty regimes like makeup, skin treatments.) You can have 126k followers and post the best pics and people can think you're having the best best life but thats just surface stuff. Depression doesn't discriminate on looks, age, race, sex, etc. So basically no i dont think they live their life on easy mode they have advantages and like every human being, disadvantages.
Yes and not.
About superficial relations, flirting and prejudged principles of society yes, of course.
But when its time to other things, it isn't a help and may be an unconvenience, its more difficult to them, deal with a rejection (because they aren't used to, and get it much later that average women) and they ussually have sex harassment problems, Linked to a value scale which is rare to have values different to beauty.
(Taking into account that low survival coeficient and rarely choosing other values give them many problems).
Furthermore its very strange they compare themselves with average women, often they make it with enough more beautiful women which will give them less self confidence and will blow the learning of others habilities which may be needed.
On the tv show House, chose the nurse Allison was chosen because she was beautiful, but the idea of House was different of having a nice jar, it was that if a woman with her beauty rejected using her natural advantage to get the success by her own effort she must have an iron will and be smart enough to the job.
In fact its very difficult to a woman go against the advantage of her nature and fight with her arms, and by that its very strange to find one too.
Dude! What you view as a 9-10 could be a 3-4 to someone else...
therefore your question seems rather ignorant to even answer...
In any case, the average goodnlooking oersonnin general (not ugly) will surly have more opportunities than someone less attractive in life over all... HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE... some very unattractive people do have better luck than others simply because of charisma, or position... or money...
So having said that, looks alone cannot guarantee you a good easy life, but it can possibly mean more open doors than someone less attractive... but it’s not guaranteed.. common sense.
It can be easier when it comes for dating and people treating me nice but I'm not just a pretty face.
I'm a straight A student. I got medical degree which they don't hand it because someone is pretty. I worked my ass off. Volunteered in so many things.
When I go for interview they act nice but when I'm done they are blown away and usually I'm offered the job. I make sure that my job quality speaks for itself.
Patients love me because their lives are better with quality care we are providing.
So not everyone is taking advantage of their looks as you need to work twice as hard to be seen as hardworker and valued as per personality.
Treating me with respect is more important than being nice to me.
No. It can be easy to get attention, but sometimes I feel like people don’t take me seriously because I’m pretty. I’m a lawyer. It’s not like you get through law school and the bar exam on looks. But once a guy came in for a consultation and thought I was the secretary. When I told him his appointment was with me, he was like, no, I’m gonna wait for the attorney. He wanted to see proof I was the lawyer. He said there’s no way a cute girl like me could ever be a lawyer. I felt so insulted. When he left I just had to close my office door and cry. So, no, beautiful women aren’t necessarily on easy mode.
Easy?
For me no.
But people have taken advantage of my kindness.
Family and some people tell me I’m beautiful..
But I feel like this sometimes
i dated my share of them - mostly for <5x before moving on.
while there are exceptions many (~75%) tend to get lazy and depend upon on looks to open doors, rather than have to earn/work at it. this makes them lazy and allows them to develop an overall shitty entitled princess attitude.
that's ok b/c some rich guy will come along and scoop them away in exchange for the gals making their life a living hell until they divorce and take 50% of their money. up side is the rest of us get to kick back with a beer and watch the theatrics - especially when her beauty fades and she begins to understand her disadvantage.
Beautiful people tend to get stereotyped as not being good at anything else, or having life handed to them. So you would have to work harder to prove you are not just a dits, and once you do people will just assume you didn't work for it. Which really sucks.
For dating, yes you would be asked out more, but by shallow people who only care about looks, making it harder to find a decent partner.
So I wouldn't say it easier or harder.
... They're living just as easy of a life as wealthy or connected guys are. *Shrug* it's like any other talent bestowed on someone by birth.
I would really, really rather focus on my life, where my purpose and abilities lie, and what I am capable of achieving based on where I'm at.
I mean.. You dont just become beautiful just like that. There is a lot of effort into get and maintain the body you want and maintaining your looks. If you just look at the result and what it gives you then sure, its easy mode, but you are ignoring all the hard work that lead up to that.
Hard work does bring results after all.
I myself am living a rather easy life thanks to my looks. And I could take even more advantage of it.
Why? Because when you are beautiful you don't need to be as charming to get help from others or to have your mistakes forgiven.
That's all the easyness you get though, I mean you still need the same amount of food... and a more charismatic person will get more from life than you. Considering that charisma is a skill that can be improved, beauty is not an imbalanced attribute.
As for the downsides:
Being taken advantage of :
Well, that happens to everybody. The bad people would always prey on the weak, so it has nothing to do with beauty
Receiving too much attention :
Difficult to say, I dress differently when I don't want to be looked at.
I know that some women hate to do that. How big of a problem it is depends on the person.
dunno why people act like beautiful people are a rare breed lol i have a ton of gorgeous friends and sure they might get their ass kissed over it, but not all of them are shallow enough to abuse pretty privilege, and all of them still have incredibly hard life hurdles and even mental health issues, like me.
Lol well being attractive, people expect more from you, harder to fly under radar, people don't approach you, people think your just getting by on looks and that you're stupid. I mean I'm sure I could come up with more is I thought about it long enough. It's exactly like saying that. But what you're trying to find is happiness. Money may take out the stress you have now but add a whole knew breed of it's own. The grass is always greener on the other side.
Have you ever seen a 9 or 10 having a difficult life? Personally never.
All a woman has to do is be pretty and spread her legs.
Today an ugly 6 can make an instagram profile and a Patreon account and start uploading cute selfies and within a week she'll have two thousand desperate men paying on her patreon for some eye candy.
Problems solved.
No. They don’t. You can’t skate by on looks alone unless you plan on being a gold digger, and even then it takes some kind of skill to manipulate a sad sap into providing for you for the rest of your life.
Yes, your appareance dictates whether you have a good family, a good home life, whether you've experienced abuse or been bullied.
Nah man. Great looks will earn you more compliments, give you a wider selection of partners to choose from, and can aid you in your work life and hence benefit you financially, but it doesn't determine if your experiences as a human being are mostly positive or not.
