How is it Being in the Beautiful People Club?



"Beauty is how you feel on the inside. It reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical"
Sophia Loren

Being beautiful isn't a bowl of ripe juicy peaches with whipped cream on top. It is probably difficult to grasp that having advantages would be difficult. It's likely to be double difficult to imagine not appreciating the perks of being attractive - Or, denying it to the point of despising one's own looks and feeling as if the burden society heaps is unbearable. From Disney on up, we are indoctrinated that to be beutiful is to be successful and loved. However, most attractive people do not necessarily feel they are and might even dismiss any compliments given to them.

If you are beautiful, you will:
1. Never have many friends, nor be able to gauge if they are loyal, true, and reliable.
2. Never be able to have a harmonious work place without drama, jealousy, and power struggle
3. Always be pressured to the point of discomfort by men/women who want to have relationships/sex with you.
4. Always have to prove your trustworthiness of girlfriends who have men and avoid their improper advances
6. Be the target of people trying to hook up with you with no commitment to a relationship.
8. Cause your love interests to be insecure in your shadow in public, with no intention to do so.
9. Get positions in companies that others can't get and make more, but you will likely lose those jobs because of jealousy and deceit from those around you
10, Cause others to automatically assume your intelligence will be less

Statistically the beautiful people will make 4% - 8% more in their careers and be hired first, But, they will also be 10 times more likely to be treated poorly. They will experience more harassment and stalking by interested people who will turn on them like a snake in the grass, unexpected and too much to handle. Beautiful ones will also suffer a great loss mentally when they start to show age. It is so much harder to know privilege and have it stripped away, than to never know privilege at all.

" You see, anyone can see a pretty girl, but its takes special people to see an old lady, and to be able to see the pretty woman she must have been. "
Anonymous

Its time we start giving merit to those who are beautiful inside rather than outside. This would solve both sides of the equation's challenges,

We are, we are, we are
L.A. on a Saturday night in the summer
Sundown and they all come out
Lamborginis and their rented Hummers
The party's on, so they're headin' downtown
Everybody's lookin' for a come up
And they wanna know what you're about
Me in the middle with the one I'm lovin'
We're just tryna figure everything out
We don't fit in well
'Cause we are just ourselves
I could use some help
Gettin' out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear
So don't ask that question here
This is my only fear, that we become (hey)
Beautiful people
Drop top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
"What d'you do?" and "Who d'you know?"
Inside the world of beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Prenups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let's leave the party
That's not who we are
(We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
Yeah, that's not who we are
(We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful (beautiful)
L.A. (mmm) drove for hours last night
And we made it nowhere (nowhere, nowhere)
I see stars in your eyes
When we're halfway there (all night)
I'm not fazed by all them lights
And flashin' cameras
'Cause with my arms around you
There's no need to care
We don't fit in well
We are just ourselves
I could use some help
Gettin' out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear (ah)
So don't ask that question here
This is my only fear
That we become (hey)
Beautiful people
Drop top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
"What d'you do?" and "Who d'you know?"
Inside the world of beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Prenups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let's leave the party
That's not who we are
(We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful, yeah
Yeah, that's not who we are
We are not beautiful (beautiful)
We are, we are, we are
We are not beautiful

I had a friend who's daughter was a contestant in miss this and that, and the first time I saw her while she was just out of college, I thought, I've never seen anyone that beautiful. It was like there was an electric light shining just on her. Super nice kid, but it's membership in a different world.

I think guys will put up with alot more from a beauty, just to be near them, but ultimately it's the inner beauty we see and embrace.

Beauty is an inside job however most short fugly people probably do not reap the rewards of being tall, handsome and dominant. Just saying...

I don't think I've ever been accused of being "beautiful", so I'll have to take the word of those with more experience.

I think it is common to lament our own struggles and romanticize those with whom we have less in common. The reality is though our struggles all may be different, we all have struggles. The challenge is in not assuming because our pain is so visceral, it is the only valid pain. I suppose the same goes for happiness.

Thank you for the thoughts this morning.

Factually, the majority of men find it uncomfortable to be in a relationship with them as their insecurity will shine. They are fearful that she will not love them one day and leave. Sure they give in more s any man will do for a trophy on their arm, but they resent that as well

Possibly so....but then perhaps your insecurities would not alow you to believe you were viable to be loved by one so pretty?

The economics of beauty and the trillions it makes will never allow those who control media to allow us to appreciate more than the outer layers

We aways want what we do not have. Being in the beauty industry taught me that. No one goes without struggles, however we tend to think those who seem to have it all have no merit in being unhappy.

It is always good to see you here

And what would a woman's perspective be in that situation where she has found herself on the arm of the latest and greatest 'hunky male' (you pick his profession/station in life; actor, athlete, CEO/successful business man, politician, surgeon, etc.). And the woman considers herself 'average/nothing special'? What are her thoughts and actions etc. in this situation as the relationship plays out?
I think people are aware of "fears", real or perceived, and act accordingly based on their abilities to overcome those fears. If someone thinks that they're "not good enough" to be with someone, then that 'FEAR" keeps them from even trying, even when that "SOMEONE" might extend an olive branch of friendship because they see something they LIKE in the person with the "FEAR", opportunity lost because of "FEAR". This subject has been discussed on here under different titles before, and ALL with similar responses and opinions. But, it boils down to each individual's abilities to face their fears and act accordingly, and if you get turned down, or ignored, walk away with dignity and your pride that the one that turned you down or ignored you was just not "your type", and continue on with your head held high. In MY life and in MY opinion, their LOSS, not mine...and I'm not, nor have I ever considered myself "God's gift to women", but hey, I've done alright in my lifetime.

It’s a useful weapon and a mind fuck for most all at once- really a simple matter of symmetry and wiring. One of the fortunate things about my orientation is that throughout my life one of the most common and well-earned male stereotypes hasn’t applied- external beauty may at most buy the first moments of attention but it’s easily dispelled in seconds and attractiveness that endures beyond that is a far, far rarer thing that’s only emergent through the smallest details with little reference to what ripples at the surface. … also a handy thing whether running a sales team or juggling Kunoichi- best not to be subject to the thrall of the very spells you build teams (in part, at least) to weave. I knew someone who headed corporate sales at a Fortune 100 company before joining my team- she shared that her #1 qualification for hiring sales team members while with her former employer was “looks”. … ever the clownfish to the anemone of unresonant beauty.
