I think it’s a combination of things and some aren’t unique to attractive people but just people in general.1. Others don’t help the cause any. Attractive people get more attention from others. It’s a fact. You throw in some self esteem issues and many people, attractive or not, all that attention goes to their heads and they get an inflated ego, a sense of I’m better than you. Think about it. An attractive woman goes out just to do her business, not really desiring any attention at that moment. She gets hit on in the parking lot. She gets hit on in the store. She gets a few flirty looks while shopping. Every guy that passes by smiles at her. By the time she gets to the cash register and the older gentleman cashier greets her with a smile, a frustrated disgusted thought may cross her mind like, “Ugh this old guy is hitting on me.” This totally may not be the case but with all the attention thus far, it’s pretty easy to make that assumption (but also see number 3 below).1.5 Along with getting more attention from others, attractive people can be more choosey. They have a larger selection of people to choose from. They feel they don’t have to settle for what they perceive as other’s flaws because they are always getting attention and another person will come along soon.2. Self-esteem. Just because they are viewed as more attractive by others doesn’t mean they feel that way about themselves. People with low self esteem, attractive or not, often look down on others as a way to boost themselves. They aren’t aware of this of course it’s subconscious and in their psyche. I see this all the time in male friends ragging on each other and gossipy woman I work with.3. Egocentrism. This is a big one. Egocentrism is basically thinking the world revolves around you, not because the person is selfish or consciously just thinking about themselves at the exclusion of others but because they have difficulty seeing from another’s perspective and often the thought never crosses their mind to try to see from someone else’s point of view. It’s all about their needs and their wants, not anyone else’s, but the thing with egocentrism is it’s not intentional. Again, they just have trouble seeing things outside of themselves. I have a funny story with that if you want to hear it (this response is already too long so I won’t include it here 😂🤣 ).
I understand where this comes from because mewhen I was younger like just growing into my body you know 16 17 18 and I started getting girls attention with muscles popping up on my chest in my arms it may be very cocky very arrogant very ignorant and I believe deep down inside that comes from insecurity because I was unsure who I was what kind of man I was going to be a I wasn't sure how to even be a man because I was still a child with a man's body. so I think that you will see this attractive people are arrogant when they are still children's at mind but they have the body of an adult because one they don't know how to handle what they were given yet it's not until they grow into their body and they develop the mind of an adult then you will see this arrogant in this kind of fade away when you realize that yes what I'm good looking people like me they better what the fuck why wouldn't they but it doesn't make me anybody any better but when you're younger and you don't know any better you think it does that's my opinion I think too you'll see as people get older that fades. Figure out who you are why you're here what you want to be hey you realize that everything that you need to be happy in life has nothing to do with physical appearance.
Why does it affect you though? How does it affect your life?
Are you jealous and insecure?
Are you being self righteous?
Do you suffer from inferiority complex?
Live and let live!
Nothing wrong with confidence, high self esteem and self love.
Their looks, their attitude, their choice.
This obsession with others needs to stop.
As long as they are not hurting anyone, it's okay.
If they are not hurting anyone verbally or physically, then I genuinely fail to see how their emotions and thoughts about themselves affect me.
I can't control what they think. I can't control their thoughts and emotions.
If someone loves himself, I don't see how that affects me.
In fact, I feel happy for them. I am that person who is always liking pictures and praising people. I celebrate beautiful people. Make peace with yourself!


I don't think it's because they are arrogant. It's how you perceive them, your attitude towards them.
Some attractive people are just bored of superficial compliment knowingly those people who give them attention probably want something in return. Especailly, the opposite sex.
Moreover, there are not only compliment they have to deal with. Many times they have to confront with negative people who come up just to criticize and express their opinion on their appearances. Unwanted attention. Some who are aware of uncertainty and short lifespan would always wonder why sometimes people are so judgmental, it's not their business. Why do they have to be surrounded by unattractive ones who are envious of nothing but skin.

They are accustomed to people fawning over them or pandering to their whims.
They get away with it and people still like them.
I think a lot of the time, the case with people who a lot perceive to be physically attractive (I use the phrase "perceive" because there is not a fixed definition for what is physically attractive and beauty is subjective and therefore in the eye of the beholder) often compliment those people telling them they are attractive in various different ways.
For some people, it gets to their heads that many other people think they are attractive, like they think they look better than everyone else, so they believe that makes them better than everyone else, so they act that way?
I mean I personally think people should always remember beauty is the eye of the beholder and yes you may get called "pretty" or "handsome" by a number of people, but then there will be people out there who'll think you're not pretty or handsome. So don't get too big headed about your looks and don't get too down about them either.
:)
I think it gives people a false sense of confidence and self-worth. When you’re attractive a lot of things are given to you even if you don’t earn or deserve them. People are usually nicer and giving to attractive people.
When you live that type of lifestyle from birth to adulthood, it’s impossible not to develop some sort of complex unless you have really good parents to teach you better. But even some parents favor their more attractive child over the lesser attractive one. So parents are sometimes the root cause and enforcers of that type of behavior.
not all good looking people are arrogant. But they only tend to show they arrogant side to those who suck up to them or those who dumbly fawn over them or do absolutely anything for them. Most good looking folks are not more arrogant, they only think they are above you when you fawn too much over them. I’ve seen it happen to average looking guys too , If you keep telling them how much you adore their looks , they end up acting arrogant like they are above you or something.
I never fawn over attractive people because I’m not shallow. I know that deep down we are secretly all the same inside. Some people are just born to the right parents which makes them good looking. I never treat good looking people better than ugly people.
I disagree with your assertion that most physically attractive people are arrogant.

ARROGANT: adjective; having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities. A haughty or arrogant person can be defined as one who acts as if they are superior, more valuable, or important than others and underestimates them.
Another article claimed that an arrogant person is only interested in themselves. They are self-absorbed and self-centered and are rarely ever interested in anyone else.
It sounds like most everyone has these traits these days. Arrogance, Narcissism, Self-centered, etc., isn't confined just to attractive people.
The arrogant persona is usually what is necessary for everyone in there life to get just to keep what's real value with in them sacred. That beautiful person physically if also showed the world the value within would eventually be abused and unappreciated. It can be saved for someone sacred they choose to give it to or someone can evolve to be the one with the tools or key that unlocks that arragont persona by digging within themselves to find the frequency of spectrum that sees past the physical persona.
In my opinion and my own experience, its really not about "being attractive" more about feeling attractive.
In highschool i used to be bullied because i was fat and ugly. All of this stopped as soon as I myself took myself as normal looking. Its probably about the way you think and act, either consciosly and subconsciosly, and when they feel like they look better than other people, they will act like that. So when you talk to these people, act normal, take them as equal, think of them as equal, and most of the time, they won't act so arrogant as they could/would otherwise.
Because they think they are better than average or other people in general...
But i once had a deep conversation with a girl that is physically very attractive about that, and she told me its not because she wants to be like that, but being physically attractive, she gets a lot of attention, but its not always because they are interested in her or to build a real connection with her, but because they see her as a prize to get... and after a lot of bullying, a lot of deceivings, backstabs, and playing her over, using her etc.. so she develops arrogance because she feels insecure, and act like hard to love, to know much the other person would sacrifice to be with her, basically like building walls around her... to me it made sense.
Also studies state that physically attractive people feel lonely a lot more than average or below average people...
I'd say it's because they've been told how attractive they are, which gets to their heads. They expect people to fawn over them and cater to their every demand.
Now, I'm gonna sound like a massive jerk for this, but about 10-15 years ago, I was getting comments from girls saying how cute I am. One that I remember is a message on a MySpace add-on. This girl said "Hi, my name is Jennifer. I saw your pictures and, oh my God, you are SOOOO CUUUTE!! My number is (unintelligible)! Call me, baby!!"
Unfortunately I never had the balls to act on any of these comments. I've always been WAAAAAYYY to shy to ask a woman out. In fact, I still get women smiling at me and checking me out and I never get the courage to act on this.
Simples...
I believe it to have to do with just the attention they get but never asked for. Sure they may work hard for that nice body or spend time on that hair and make-up but I feel its because of subconscious conditioning that there will be attention on them when they walk into a room anyways. So they embrace it by making sure when the attention is directed their way they are ready for it. Part of that is the confidence or arrogance necessary to be resilient enough to deal with the attention emotionally and the things we normally notice is the physical things that help boost that confidence. It does work out for attractive people in the long run despite being seen as arrogant at times. Usually by people who are secretly envious. I've often shared that envy for what people have in many aspects.
Because if you have guys constantly trying to get your attention it gets annoying especially since far from all men deserves it but it also gets to your head a bit. It can also be because you get insecure about your personality. You never know if someone likes you or just attracted to you so you make yourself arrogant and bitchy to see who'll see through it and like the real you or just because you're bitter since no one cares about the real you, only your looks. Eventually you start taking that frustrating out on others.
Really attractive people aren't arrogant, they don't need to prove permanently their status quo. Pseudo self-confidence (arrogance) is often common among people who look slightly over average attractive.
Not all (only the person who follow the below will be arrogant)
If someone is attractive then there will be people around them who all were telling about their attractiveness to them all the time
they will also ask for the secrets for their attractiveness and other stuff which makes Them overconfident that they are so much attractive
Similarly there will be many persons who approach them for relationships, this will also makes them overconfident about their attractiveness
In fact the point is, the people around them will be telling them about their attractiveness so many times which is not necessary
Due to this this, they think that the world revolves around them and arrogance will be indubitable
I think it’s because they recieve constant praise from people, which makes them feel powerful and superior. The thing is, beauty is subjective, so even if there are many people who think they’re attractive, many other people won’t think the same way, and i feel this is something that they don’t know/take into account.
I think that's true of all sorts of people who are extremely successful in any area whether it's social or career-wise. I think it becomes more difficult to remain humble and patient when many people want things from you left and right.
Very often I think arrogance becomes a sort of fortification. A person commanding a lot of attention, both positive and negative, desirable and undesirable, can't afford to be a pushover. Otherwise, they'll get used and manipulated and exploited left and right. Arrogance can at least protect the person from being used this way. It's maybe the least admirable type of defense but I find it understandable at least why some very popular people go down that route.
@Also, I think with that degree of attention can come its share of negative attention. The most popular people don't necessarily get just more positive attention but also more negative. Some probably react to the negative by cultivating an arrogant ego as a way to protect it.
Excellent point !! 👍🏻👍🏻
@VIVANT On some further thought, I'm thinking arrogance is a lonely route to fame and success. The person might not feel truly valued by anyone, so perhaps they feel the need to become really conceited. I suspect they are the types who were, at least initially, more sensitive towards their haters in spite of how many fans they had. The most jealous and spiteful comments probably got to them and brought them down. So maybe they built up this wall of conceit and vanity as their line of defense. The more difficult and humble route probably comes from those who can better ignore the haters and take comfort in their allies and fans and not feel so lonely or unappreciated in the process.
It's just a simple matter of complacency. Good looking peaple tend to get what they want easier since peaple treat them differently. When asked to copy homework in school? Sure. An extension on a deadline at work for whatever reason? Ok. Even arguments can be one based on good looks and body language at times. So when so many things come easy it tends to make peaple take life being hard for granted and to put themselves first and everyone else second.
Some people are more prone to becoming full of themselves. People like to feel wanted by others, so when 80% of people in the same room of 1000 people attracted to you physically rather than maybe 5-10% who would typically be attracted to you physically if your average looking. You can see why these people think highly of themselves.
The woman you posted is not even physically attractive. She’s ugly. That chin is weak and those eyes are small. Those cheeks lack definition and that jawline isn’t sharp enough. Some people just think they are good looking when they’re not. I have seen absolutely physically perfect girls who don’t have an iota of arrogance.
I belive its because they think they are worth more because they look good. However sometimes trying to hard to look good can be a turn off for me. Granted I like women to dress up and would love to find an above average woman to date. However that being slim my goals are to simply find someone I can connect with who doesn't need to be a supermodel. I prefer women who have a good inside than fake boobs, tan and a socialite way of living.
Arrogance about looks has nothing to do with how others perceive you. There are plenty of delusional people out there who look like shit but are still arrogant about their 'good' looks; meanwhile there are those truly beautiful creatures who are very humble in nature.
If they think they have options it's not hard for them to think they can afford to reject, offend or get rejected. This is also why some of the richest people in the world can afford to be ignorant, it's the same principle. If the value you provide is significant they/you will largely have options.
Girls who are physically attractive tend to want more. And that means piling on make-up, getting surgeries and wearing showy clothes. And let's face it, if you spend an hour everyday staring into a mirror and putting on make-up, it's hard not to get pretty full of yourself. (That said, I'm not discouraging any ladies who want to wear make-up, you do you sis 🙂)
I know, I'm just using girls as an example because I understand them better (I mean, i am a female lol) even though i know guys who do the same stuff have just as big heads as women
It's because for example when I was a kid I was fat I had to compensate what I was missing In looks with personality and character wich allowed me to develop my character further than most of my pears. But if I looked good I would not have built this character because you would rely on looks I hope you understood me
" It doesn't really differ between men and women either. " I will disagree here , this is much more so women , rather than men , men have to tick a lot more boxes than just mere looks. Ironically , in the case of arrogant , physically attractive women , it is mainly due to men constantly inflating her ego , also the arrogance / nasty attitude is her getting tired of constant male attention... her " bitch shield " going up , to deflect this unwanted attention.
People are more forgiving of them. People don't want to ruin their sexual chances with a hot person.
All the people doing this throughout the sexually attractive person's life makes the sexually attractive person more cheeky.
Because they are already accepted, the sexually attractive person does not feel the need to conform to group dynamics to be socially accepted.
So they don't. It's classic.
I don't remember the old saying but it's like absolute power corrupts absolutely something like that.
There is a lot of power with being beautiful. And a lot of women can't handle it that's why they have such disgusting personalities.
However good part is that beauty fades with age.
I figure that it falls into 2 categories.
1. People who come across arrogant unintentionally, because they don't realize that other people don't have the life experience that they do.
2. People who realize that other people don't have the same life experience, but expect a certain level of treatment on account of the fact that they have had the experience that they have.
Can it be that good looking people are that way because of how everyone behaves with them? You want to date a handsome man... so you'll behave accordingly and you'll first try to be friends with an ugly guy... maybe this double standard creates the need to be arrogant or everyone expects you to do their bidding.
It's because they know they can get away with a lot of shit and get people's favor, especially on the job. This all tends to be true for physically attractive women 10x more than physically attractive men.
Are you serious? Do you understand the amount of jealousy that’s out there? We’re more careful about who we allow near us. We’ve death (too many times) with jealous people (friends and strangers) that we’ve developed a “guard” and you can see that protective defence mechanism when you look at us, because we look bitchy as fuck. It’s nothing personal really. For me it’s because I learned to be cautious.
Dealt*
because a lot of them know there pretty. so they think the world revolves around them bc lets face, people who are more attractive unfortunately get farther than those who aren't. they know how to use there looks to get what they want. in return they become vain bc they have a shit personality that is underdeveloped. but also, there always about what can I get, and not what I can give.
It's not that we are arrogant it's we pretend to be arrogant. And the whole point is to avoid people being attracted to you because sometimes I'm just tired of people trying to get with me for that reason honestly I've had a lot of girls but none of them were really what I would call as interesting they were just hollow to be and air-headed etc. I'm out of stamina so just want to be independent for now weeding through people who 9/10 times are just air-headed which takes up a lot of energy.
They get so conscious of how good they look that it swells up their heads, so that they become entitled and disrespectful. They are no more mature or intelligent than kindergarteners with a new toy, and this physical beauty dominates their consciousness because it's all they have to offer.
What do you mean why? Because that's how people are judged. Physical attractiveness and/or the size of your bank account. We can bitch and whine about it all we like, we can say it isn't fair, we can even lie to ourselves that it's not true... Doesn't count for the shit, the factual objective truth doesn't give a fuck about our emotions on the matter :)
Tl;dr - why shouldn't they be?
Well attractive people have a higher potential to be spoiled because physical attractiveness can make people more biased for you despite what your character is like. Some attractive people who are treated like this may develop feelings of superiority because of this.
I've met way more physically attractive women who are nice than average-looking ones. Tend to find the average looking ones get way more attention due to guys thinking they're more accessible/achievable so they think they're better than they are (it's stupid I know...).
Sometimes it counteracts the arrogance of the women. They act like their stuff is gold plated most of the time. just got a break that off a little bit and soften him up a bit. Seems like the more arrogant a man is the more a woman wants them. I don't know. Being meek don't work
Because i know i can act like a shithole and lots of people will just accept it and beg for more. But tbh i dont put people down. I just expect people like me. Its not just looks. Im also successful and intelligent. So i just demand good looking successful intelligent people around me... keep up with me or i feel like my time is being wasted and you're dragging me down.
Because of attention.
Over their years they've been told hot cute they are, how hot they are. And the opposite sex falls at their feet willing to date them. This all feeds the ego. And because of immaturity the ego grows unchecked so they become arrogant asses or jerks. Where the rest of us dont have anyone lining up to date us and We dont get the same treatment. So our egos have already been checked for us.
This question reminded me of this South Park episode.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y-qbeIKqfToThe more people who boost your ego, the more arrogant you become, not in all cases of course, just most...
Well, if you're going to be arrogant, you need to have something going for you to be arrogant about--otherwise, you're just delusional. So what are the main things a person can have going for them? Attractive, rich, talented, and popular are 4 main ones. So there you go.
That hasn't been my experience. I can think of many people I have known or met briefly that were good looking and also really beautiful on the inside.
Defense mechanism, We ge tired of all you peasants only wanting us for our beautiful. 😆 jk I don't know
I am the Golden God and I haven't even begun to peak.

Because arrogance is in our nature we simply chose to humble ourselves to be more wanted by others but when you're attractive and people want you regardless you can afford to be arrogant
I feel like if you have an attractive body you can afford to be picky or choosy, or demand favors on account of looks, I've heard women dating, date just to get food, stuff like that
There are many unattractive arrogant people as well. Harvey Weinstein comes to mind...
At least that makes sense as a reason to be arrogant.
What blows me away is when stupid, fat, ugly, worthless people are arrogant, and I see that all the time.
Attractive people operate in different social environments, for example the Halo Effect: defendants who were rated as physically attractive received on average lighter sentences for crimes, compared to those who were rated below average to average
Maybe because people always look up to them and copy them admiring them and so maybe they think they are superior just because people are praising their looks. or simply maybe they just have pathetic personality lol 😂😂
They think there better than everyone and have a god complex haha I’m kind of glad I’m short because I had to work on other traits to be attractive if there really good looking then they don’t have to work on themselves because everything gets handed to them
In the case of women, desperate white knights have constantly put them on a pedestal. Likely the same case the other way around 🙄
A decent number of them have learned that they don't have to try that hard to get what they want. Their looks tend to get them most of the way there.
I think its because everyone has told them how attractive they are. So it goes to their head eventually and think they are better than other people.
There is the answer in your question right there... this century people want to Chase instead they are the catch when will people understand... that. be fearless. bold. thats attractive
I get told that I'm attractive more times than I can count and I'm probably the most self conscious person in the entire existence
It’s not that more attractive people are ignorant than unattractive people.
—> Most people are not smart but it’s the attractive ones you take note of.
Maybe you have higher expectations of attractive people.
I read it wrong.
You get used to it when people keep treating you like you’re special and important. Eventually you start believing it.
