Can attractive people get away with anything?

[Anonymous]

Be specific.

[Anonymous]

Yes.
I'm surprised that most people answered no.
Studies have shown that attractive people are perceived as more kind, smart, intelligent, funny, charismatic, than less attractive people.. (especially if they're women); because of the halo effect.

There are certain things that are socially acceptable, only when you're attractive.
For example, if you're shy, reserved, and introverted and you're attractive, then you're also cute, mysterious, thoughtful.
If you're unattractive, you're a weirdo...
If you wear glasses and you're attractive, you're sophisticated. If you're unattractive, you're a dork/nerd..

If you're unattractive as a female, you're basically a 3rd class citizen.. People will think it's ok to be mean to you, bully you and make fun of you. Guys will also think that you're desperate to have sex and easy and that you should be grateful, that anyone wants to even be in a relationship with you, or have sex with you..
If you dare to reject them, they're like "you aren't only ugly on the outside but also have an ugly personality".
As an ugly person, you don't have a voice.. You have to grit your teeth and endure every form of discrimination and insult.. Otherwise they will tell you to stop "the pity party", "woe is me" etc. (for example, a few days ago I posted here on G@G, asking for advice on how to improve my looks and receive some very rude and mean comments. When I told people there's no need to be so rude, people told me to "suck it up", and that I shouldn't post here, if I don't want honesty. Whenever a pretty girl posts though, everyone is being so polite to her)..
You're basically a martyr

Wow, very amazing points. It is such a backwards world we live in and I'm sorry for the negativity you got. Please understand how harsh people behind a screen think they can be. it doesn't mean they are right and I'm sorry about that. After considering this question, I keep thinking about Ted Bundy and R. Kelly. Both men known for very terrible things, yet still were/are desired by many anyway. That's terrifying.

[lernulo]

It's a good point I was thinking on halo effect here too.

[lernulo]

People traumatized by being attractive must have a cup of coffee.

[TenderFantasy]

It depends on what you mean by attractive first of all. I thought that they said that beauty was in the eye of the beholder? I'm confused because honestly I don't believe that! That they said that it is RELATIVE! I believe that the younger and the prettier you are and the less bad things that have happend to you, the healthier (both mind and body) that you tend to be! Then the more people will "forgive" your shortcomings just because maybe they don't want to see you "uglier"? I don't know... but yeah, society I believe DOES tend to be on the superficial or shallow side!

[Asker]

Would you say getting super drunk and acting a little off is forgiving?

[TenderFantasy]

For me yes... it wasn't on purpose and it wasn't mean to hurt me so!

[Pejtu]

Yes we can with most of the stuff , overall life is easier and better
People treat you muuuuch better ifu are good looking tall dude or if u are cute girl
I know that from my own experiences , i can leave my work 1 hour before i even should leave because my female boss is really digging me even tho she is married with 1 kid that is 8 y old and she is 35 and im 25

Many guys and girls that work here with me are fucked many times staying at work for Christmas , off days sometimes overtime , and yes all the people that have to do it are ugly fat or just unpleasant even to look at ( yes im honest about it )
She never asked me to stay longer she never had any problems with the fact i left 1 hour earlier which i always do

I dont have to do as many things as other people not only at work but outside work too
You will know it for sure when you have advantages over others

[lernulo]

Well I see many people traumatized by being sooooo attractive.
I will give you an advice.
Take a cup of coffee and spill it in front of all those people who hate you.
After say excuse me, smile and take the other t-shirt (or shirt or whatever) when you come back, many more people will like you.
Issue is, really attractive people who mess it, are far more attractive that those who are perfect.
You can change the cup of coffee for something else.
Furthermore, if you recognize the value in others instead of classifying people in beauty and ugly most likely you could use it to take many power.

They often can get away with more, but they have limits.

[Anonymous]

I don't really think so.

As someone who is considered an "attractive woman", I've never noticed any special treatment or being able to get away with things others aren't.

I have, however, noticed that some people, especially if they are the same sex as you or are the opposite sex and like you, but the feelings aren't mutual, will treat people they find attractive very cruelly. Girls do it to each other like crazy, unfortunately. I've had a couple of girls I never said one word to or tried to be nice to and befriend who hated me because they saw me as competition.

[FirmlyAboveAverage]

Not anything but it's definitely a lot harder for attractive people to be creepy in a dating sense

[Asker]

I was also wondering this. What are some examples?

[FirmlyAboveAverage]

Often times all it takes for an unattractive man to be viewed as creepy in a dating sense is the act of approaching a girl in the first place

[SteveSmith1985]

You know, this is a good point

[Asker]

What about staring? I think I'm pretty cute and was chatting up this guy & dancing but he went to sit with his friends so I stopped dancing and I just stared at him wondering why he left. Is that creepy?

[FirmlyAboveAverage]

Staring for long periods of time is always going to be creepy but I feel like the difference between catching an attractive person and an unattractive person glancing is huge

[SteveSmith1985]

Well first of all, it's much harder to be a creeping girl than it is to be a creepy guy. Much harder. So even if you weren't cute, you probably weren't seen as creepy.

Although, wait, one more time now:

so you were on the dancefloor chatting and dancing with this guy who suddenly left to go sit with his friends and you stopped dancing and stared?

I guess it depends how long you were staring and what your facial expression was saying... But... Maybe not your very best flirting moment... But I wouldn't worry too much. This is one of those situations where you will get away with it if you're attractive.

[Boppy]

Here's an odd example of both being creepy and getting away with it. Around a month ago, a Japanese girl stabbed her boyfriend and supposedly had her bail paid by people who thought she was cute. knowyourmeme.com/.../photos

[FirmlyAboveAverage]

@Boppy Wow I feel stupid right now. I kind of forgot that there are people on this website that are up to date on their meme culture 😂

[Asker]

@SteveSmith1985 Honestly I was very intoxicated and confused why he left without saying anything. I think I was just trying to process things but It was probably almost a good minute... Also later found out he had a girlfriend so who knows

[FirmlyAboveAverage]

Bullet dodged, girl 😂

[MusicMayhem]

@FirmlyAboveAverage you don't even have to approach to be viewed as creepy. I walked up to the bar to get a drink and within 10 seconds of entering the venue this chick accused me of touching her butt!

[FirmlyAboveAverage]

@MusicMayhem Sucks to be you I guess

[MayaButtercup]

Sadly yes.. my ex friend Julia used to hit/punch people in our friend group and they wouldn't say anything to her. But if it was my friend Mandy who hit/punch them they would go off. Like wtf? It's NOT okay to hit/punch someone in general. Whether or they are attractive or just average.

[GirlChick]

No. Your looks don’t save you from being a piece of shit. You’ll get tossed to the side for someone who looks good AND is a decent human.

[red324]

Cudos to you babe😊

[Kiran_Yagami]

I read an article just yesterday about a guy who started a fake Tinder profile with a hot photo, but the profile itself detailed how he was a convicted child rapist and had an ankle bracelet on. Women threw themselves at him anyways. He had phone numbers and addresses within 2 messages. And that was in spite of them knowing about him being a pedo. So yes. Yes they can.

[SteveSmith1985]

No. They can get away with more maybe. And only with some people. Some of us have a pretty good nose for that sort of thing; and find it amusing to remind attractive people that they can't get away with anything... At least not with me. 😉

[HomoFuge]

They can get away with some things but not everything. For example, they can fuck their way to a senior management position but they can’t get away with a serious crime like murder. If you commit murder you are going to jail no matter how attractive you are.

[Bigfappa]

not anymore unfortunately, you'd think a hot 20yr old girl would be able to get away with fucking her 14yr old student, because i mean any 14yr old guy would love to bang a hot teacher, he was probably the 1 who asked for it and probably still doesn't regret it to this day,
yet the teacher was served time, what for?
no one was hurt... wtf world?

[HomoFuge]

You have serious issues if you believe the victims of pedophiles are ‘asking for it.’

[Bigfappa]

@HomoFuge u dont understand what i mean, i dont mean asking for it in that sense,
i mean he's a male, and males love sex, so when i say asking for it i mean he was consentually asking the teacher to suck his dick or something,
so how is he a victim of pedophilia... the teacher is the victim here, she's the victim of a 14yr old reverse pedophile, aka granny basher,
by the way i have issues?
think about this situation logicaly, whether by definition if its pedophilia or not, the boy loved it, it even stated that he went to see her after class and kissed her,
if u think he is a victim of anything u are fucking retarded, whatever dont talk to me,
i know what ur gonna respond with,

HE WAS NOT A FUCKIN VICTIM OK?
end of story,,, whatever good day, whatever u say im not replying again

[elissa23Trans]

Depends. I will personally tolerate more from an attractive person than from an unattractive person. Sorry for being so shallow.

[Mazikeen3]

Not sure about murder but it's gotten me out of speeding tickets before.

[LawrenceKen]

Actually attractive people can get away with less, because members of the same jealous feel threatened by them and are jealous.

[PumpkinSpiceisnice]

Yeah with some things. Like guys will put up with a bad personality if the girl looks good

[MyWildRage]

Speaking from experience, you're right for most and usually the less open minded the man the more he'll tend to do it... sad.

[PumpkinSpiceisnice]

@MyWildRage They should just dump her if she’s annoying.

[MyWildRage]

Hahah, I tried... sadly most times their insecurities takes over and they continue to put up... while they're many sane and ready for a relationship people

[Waterwhistler]

They are attractive for some people not for everyone. People who are attractive to me are ugly for you but who are attractive for you is ugly for me. So, who are they, you are taking about? I don't know any universally beautiful people who can attract all.

[White-American89]

Certain things sure.

[ManOnFire]

I think women who are attractive get away with more than men who are attractive, yes.

[adele16]

Not ANYTHING. But yes, they definitely gets an upperhand at most things. People perceive them as more likable and smart.

[DianaWest]

judging by the amount of people under this comment section who think like you, i hardly think that attractive people have it as easy as everyone makes it seem. i mean, when everyone thinks their life is so easy, it's easy to be target of hateful and vile people.

[gorman24]

Everyone has their limits on what they can get away with.. I do not believe they can get away with anything though.. Through being rich in there and then yes they can get away with pretty much anything

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

They can get away with more (halo effect), but certainly not "anything"

[Anonymous]

I've gotten out of my fair share of tickets, men let you cut in line, buy you drinks, offer to help you carry heavy things... Women aren't as nice to other attractive women and can be jealous and catty
