I hate pretty people so much

BigNoseGirly0

I’m a ugly woman and notice double standards that a lot of people don’t.

As a random example, you can get away with being a total ***, as long as you’re pretty.

theres two girls at my workplace with the same attitude. However, they get different treatment. Everyone hates the ugly girl for being rude, saying she looks like a bulldog. But nobody says anything about the pretty one and everyone just swoons over her and act like they’re best buds with her.

Obviously, being autistic can effect how you behave, hence, others may think you’re odd. But if you’re conventionally attractive, you can get away with it and be seen as quirky or unique. I knew attractive girls who happened to be autistic, yet, people are willing to talk to them because they’re cute. Meanwhile, I’m the opposite.

it genuinely depresses me knowing how different and better my life would be if I was attractive.

  • Hi BigNoseGirly0,

    I know what you mean. What you're talking about is called Pretty Privilege.

    I used to be considered ugly during childhood and after adolescence I started being considered conventionally attractive, so I have seen how people treat me more favourably because of pretty privilege. It's similar to white privilege, and so many other privileges.

    I think it's important that those of us who benefit from these pivileges acknowledge them and call people out when we see them being unfair to others.

    So I see why you would hate pretty people if they don't even acknowledge that they are being treated better.

    All the best,
