Does pretty privilege exist, and how has it worked for you?

Question

Yes when I was obese at almost 240 pounds. People treat you like just a buddy, and you have no meaning to them. They either disregard you, or completely disrespect you (bully) you. Both females and males bully you because they feel above you, and have the power over you. You lack value in these DEMONIC people’s eyes. I’ve been bullied by both males and females in several different forms, ALL THROUGHOUT SCHOOL. From the moment I stepped into it, to the moment I stepped out of it.

Workplace is different because people are adults now. And if they try anything you can get them fired. You can ruin their sorry life.

When I turned 21, I was tired of being single and hit rock bottom of depression, food addiction and loneliness. Also I got a crush on my manager. I wanted to make a change. Within that year, I did everything in my power to lose all the extra weight even if I had to climb the highest mountain. I did so, and it was the most difficult spiritual hurdle I’ve ever had to fight. I learned so much about myself through that journey. I learned that every single person can be a 10/10 model. That a 10/10 SUPER MODEL BADDY or BADASS is hiding within us all. I learned that narcissistic demonic people are JUST THAT! They have mental illnesses to go out of their way to mistreat others. They’re mentally ill. And you don’t know how these demon possessed people would treat children or pets or animals. I’m glad I experienced the things I did with the people I did. 🖕

I lost about 100 pounds within that year. I basically lost every pound that made me overweight. I ended up looking at little like BLACK WIDOW.

And the special treatment I received from peers at work, and friends was unbelievable. It was almost as if you’re being crowned QUEEN 👸 of a kingdom. Without you having to do shT for anyone at all 🤡. You feel so much power over everyone. Men, ugly or not.. they’ll buy you food or entire meals without asking. If you’re in line in a coffee shop, the man behind you purchases your coffee without even being in a date! Your male boss gives you special treatment over others even over people who have seniority and been there longer. He’ll even buy everyone snacks JUST BECAUSE you were present that day. He will buy pizza for everyone or donuts for everyone, just because you’re there that day. He even gave me extra hours at work and overtime.

Men will open doors for you, with a huge smile on their face. You’ll notice men can’t get their eyes off you in a public setting. You’ll notice when there are couples around, that women tend to act all jealous and they’ll act sweeter and flirty with their boyfriend whilst keeping their eye on you, because they see you as a threat. Men I will flirt with you and ask you out, ask for your number, or ask if you’re single. Complete strangers! You’ll even catch guys following you around in the supermarket or mall. Some of them will flat out compliment you out of the blue, calling you cute, or a baddie.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. Guys will ask to help you with mundane stuff you can do yourself. They’ll basically BEG to help you out with some random BS. 😵😵

I couldn’t believe wtf was happening. At work when I made mistakes or broke the rules, the male managers would all stand up for me and support me keeping me out of trouble. 😵😵 Some of them would even get their own damn self in trouble because of me 😵😵.

So there you go. My personal experience. Pretty Privilege is real. 100% real.

SIDE NOTE: I never was a social media girl before losing all the weight. And even to this day I only use it for my family and closest friends. But when I hear about Tinder and those Applications, and about how women online are elevated from all the attention they receive from men. I CAN SEE HOW ITS REAL. AND I CAN SEE THE UTTER POWER THESE WOMEN FEEL FROM THE ATTENTION. However that’s still pathetic attention, because there’s nothing like face to face praise and attention that you can feel sense and notice yourself. Just saying, getting little hearts on a picture is boring.

Also; I will repeat, there’s a TOP MODEL. 10/10 Instagram MODEL that resides within us all. You just need to find the right equipment and carve him or her out. Make sure to love and care for yourself first and foremost, don’t put any celebrity or any other person of any sort ABOVE you in value.

Probably made my ex pick me. He was gorgeous. Maybe that's why the man I'm dating is interested. Could be why my dream guy messaged me once 🤷🏻‍♀️
Who knows?

Does pretty privilege exist, and how has it worked for you?

I would like a guy to want me for my personality. I would like him to be the centre of attention. I would like to be that "plain woman" a very handsome man just can't leave. I would like to be the one wrapped around his finger. I dream of having less power over him than he does over me due to his handsomeness.
I don't want to be the Goddess. I want a gorgeous man to worship while looking incredibly simple myself. I want a man to be so addicted to my behaviour and manners that he can't think of a VS model.

Sadly, given Billions spent on cosmetics, plastic surgeries, and hair etc by both the "pretty and average looking people", Beauty and the Halo Effect is a low predictor for happiness, success, and life satisfaction as exemplified by Hollywood.

Even so, yes, a light from above streams down creating the Halo Effect which is the best visible descriptor to perceived "Pretty People" benefit when compared to the normative population. Halo Effect contributes to the individual being perceived altruistic, intelligent, positive, stable, trustworthy, and generally described as more desirable to be around.

Pretty People get paid more and serve shorter jail sentences.

Well I am not pretty so I don't think I ever benefited from it at all. But I have certainly seen people give out pretty privilege to people around them. I don't think I have done that a lot either, but pretty people do get more attention then ugly, no matter what you do for natural reasons.

Dargil · Answer

It certainly does. When I was young and buff (not now), I was part of that equation. That's not me, but very close.

WanderingLoveWizard · Answer

It makes people (mainly women) exceptionally more forgiving.

If I make a mistake, "Shame on you buddy, but omg you're so cute! It's totally ok 🤗"

If an ugly guy makes a mistake, "Fuck you, you rat! You fucked up."

I’ve read a book how the seller wanted to lower the price of a cap, because the protagonist looks very pretty. She bought it for the original price, for her to be more honest. Is that pretty privilege? Many garage sales’ owners gave me things for free.

Snakeyes7 · Answer

I don't think "privilege" is an appropriate word to ascribe to groups of people unless there is specific documentation or an order of someone in charge to make this kind of bias but I suppose there is a general favorable bias to those who just happen to be attractive to the average person.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

Pretty privilege does exist. It is really beneficial for girls. With beauty, girls can have access to things men cannot. That is amazing in itself. But it also comes with its disadvantages.

ZackBan · Answer

People are more inclined to go out of their way for you, be it at work, a restaurant, in your private life.

Woman get it more often on average but I can't pretend like I haven't personally benefited from my size and symmetrical features

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. But being really attractive can be as much of a curse as well. Oh, I've never had this problem. Which actually is a good thing because I haven't had to reject any women. And people don't bother me that much. If you're not really extroverted being ugly can actually be an advantage.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Yes. I am average.  some of my friends are very pretty. I get some benefit from hanging out with them.  cab ride free because they were pretty.  free to get into clubs.

91dalson · Answer

Yep “pretty privilege” is real I’m 6’4 heavily tatted I’ve been told I’m model handsome on few occasions and one thing I noticed is people value you more off looks alone. You get free shit and lots of discounts or everyone wants to help or compete with you to feel superior its very annoying. But it’s also a curse because you’ll come across so many insecure pathetic humans and narcissists are drawn to you because you stand out.

Vázquez613 · Answer

yes because if you came in for a job interview i would hire you and put in a top position because i want my top customers to have something good to look at.

genericname85 · Answer

of course there is. there's also boob and vagina privilege too. like people are gonna treat you better than a man if you happen to be a woman. and they're also gonna treat you better if you're good looking.

Lynx122 · Answer

It definitely exists. I can't really know how it affected me and how people would treat me if I was ugly I don't know.

ShiftingMonke · Answer

It has, of sorts.  I was hired for a job I wasn't qualified for, just because of my height.

Jay3344 · Answer

It totally exists. But it can be a double edged sword.

JesseJayNeak · Answer

Yes, it exists. And no, I’m average so it didn’t work out for me
