    i was a FOOL who wanted “to be valued for my brains not my looks” when it doesn’t matter what you do or how you dress or talk. you will only be valued for your looks first and formost

    are you me? lol

    no, you’re not because it seems you have the option. lol

        for modeling or acting maybe; but there’s many other ways to cash in on good looks; emcee, host, in person sales, public relations, most management positions (ie any position where people have to interact with you beyond introduction and goodbyes) comes to mind.

          yeah, there are a lot of benefits, pretty privilege is real. the down side is all the stalking and harassment and racism. to being seen I mean. its great for organizing, everyone wants to talk to you. people tell me I should run for office all the time lol all the while im saying communist stuff (i know they wouldnt listen is i wasnt attractive, ive been unattractive). also theres the gender stuff. so inconvenient, getting in between me and being a hot girl. but yeah it has up and downs but one day ill no longer be valued for my looks and the only thing that makes people be nice to me will go away.

            anyways, the medical sales reps i was working for last night were all the “beautiful people” and make bank because of it. you could do that.

            yea I’m so paranoid about being stalked after finding dudes following or harassing me at the grocery store like 4 times. Actually now that I think of it it’s more like 10 timesscrem-a People really underestimate how much being prettyish can put a target on your back, my life has been a nightmare and I have brutal PTSD from bad stuff happening to me constantly from creeps.

            I drag my bf everywhere now, which is like threatening the whole store with an atom bomb. I literally feel in danger at all times without him

              they do, and its hard to talk about because people accuse you of bragging or lying at least in my experience.

              I drag my bf everywhere now

              samee i have a big strong body guard.

              and yeah sorry you go through that, you dont deserve that.
