Many pretty girls (such Kim Kardashian)are complaining that they are judged along two lines either she is hated instantly or she is loved instantly .What they are complaining about is that people make up their minds about them without ever getting to know them .The truth be told I have heard many pretty girls complain that they cant get a date because many guys are either intimidated by their beauty or have preconceived notions about them ,most of which were bad.
Do you think this is justified thinking ? or do you think this is much ado nothing and if they really want to have problems then they should try and get ugly ?

I do think that too many people will judge a person on how they look rather than who they really are. When a person, male or fmale, sees a beautiful woman, we do label them. Some people resent a beautiful woman, others envy them. I know that if I see abeautiful woman who is dressed profeesionally, I immediately think that she is a woman who has it all together, and if I seea geautiful woman who is maybe showing a bit too much skin, I get a totally different impression of her. Let's face it, first impressions areimportant and once that impression is made, it is hard to change it.
Of course we don't hear many prety girls complaining about gettng a date, that is because they are visually appealing to men. Just because they are visually appealing does not meant that a man will stick around if her personality sucks.

Well said .I agree with you that many persons have preconcieved notions about persons based on how they look.Like you said for some it is resentment ,for others its envy and for some it is hatred.I too get like that developing an impression of the person based on appearance.Thank you for your answer

All I know is that pretty people get more jealous people around them than anyone else. So, these people would try and do everything that the one they hate should be hated by everyone. I have seen it in my real life. I am talking about same gender pesons. Like a pretty girl would get girls as their rivals and men would get men as their rivals.
As far as girls not getting date, is concerned. I am shocked by hearing this because in my school, pretty girls were always surrounded by boys and they were dying to get a date chance from those girls.!

I agree. TMany people see a beautiful person and they assume that they are conceited or selfish. I once heard an actress, I don't remember who, say that she didn't go to her prom because no one asked her.Guys think they can never approach a beauty.I know Robert Redford had a similar problem. He was deemed a a lrading man so he couldn't get more meatier roles.Charlize and Halle had to convince their directors that they could play the roles they won their Oscars.What iBoth roles called for these beauties to be plain or even ugly.The duits just saw a pretty woman and not an actress.

Not only are they judged wrongly, but quickly. A lot of times they are not even given a chance to show what type of person they really are. They are just instantly put into a certain category of people. I guess some people have a hard time grasping to the idea that people can be attractive, and have a great personality and are good people, all at the same time. But the same goes for not so attractive people as well. They also have a hard time meeting new people and making friends. They too are categorized without ever given a chance to show who they really are.

Wow you are right many person are judged based on looks and other superficial qualities and that is so sad because people are just humans .There are good pretty people and bad ugly people ,it all depends on the individual.Consequently if we took time out to look beyond first and hasty impressions we may actually get to know these people better

pretty is as pretty does my bigmama use to say. i think we are all guilty at times of judging a book by it's cover. the same thing for people. that's not a goood thing but i think we are all guilty of doing it. we all need to get to know a person before we make any judgements but sometimes it's hard to do.

I have always heard those statement but I have never been able to fully understand them.Like you said we are all guilty of judging people by the way they look and this is not necessarily only pretty people .The common judgement handed down to pretty girls is that tehy are snobbish and insular but osme of them are actually caring people

It is probably true that some beautiful women can't get dates but I have to wonder if it's because of intimidation and preconception or just lack of warmth emanating from the woman. That is something I have discovered with age; that if you are an open and warm person you will rarely be misjudged regardless of how you look. I have seen average looking women as well as pretty women never short of a date, sounds cliché but it does depend on what's going on in the inside.

I've heard the same stories, and I think the problem is more with the attitude they display than with the way they look. Lots of pretty girls have plenty of friends and dates and don't intimidate anyone. However, if a girl feels she's prettier than everyone else and acts like it, she's going to push people away. Or if she feels that no one's going to like her because she's beautiful, then they probably aren't going to. Being friendly and open are keys to any relationship, no matter what a person looks like.

hahaha i guess pretty girls have insecurities! anyways, i believe pretty girls have their flaws, which goes down to the belief that "nobody is perfect". pretty or not they have imprefections.they just have to let go of those insecure guys and move on being pretty!

well i think probably yes. jealousy plays a part in the hatred part. and vanity and shallowness most often plays a part in the instant love part. there is way more to a person than the way they look and if she or anyone else is "instantly' loved just based on that i would be very wary of the person doing the so called loving.

Sometimes, the outside look comes with the inside.
What I'm trying to say is that there are some pretty
people who are not blessed with good behavior. But not
all. It would be good to find someone who is pretty at
the same time have very good and endearing qualities.

Yes, they are often judged wrongly most especially women with bodies to die for.. men often think they can never be faithful girlfriends because a lot of guys are going after them.. but that notion isn't applicable to all.. i've been seeing a lot of gorgeous ladies who stayed faitful to their boyfriends and husbands..

I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder,counting on your looks is a big mistake it is personality that really counts,sometimes expensive looking women scare men off as they can be high maintenance and how is a pretty girl like that stick with me.Woman can be really hateful to pretty girls as well as the big green eyed monster makes an appearance.As a female you notice these things.It is a shame because everybody needs love.Where we live we have all known each other since school and all the girls are very friendly anyway some are really pretty but they all get asked out with the crowd always has been like that round here.

I think that EVERYONE is judged instantly about their looks.
It doesn't matter if you are ugly, pretty, or normal, we are a very judgmental society and everyone makes assumptions.
Pretty people obviously just like to complain about it more!

How do you deal with pressure?
I usually control myself and i can so everything under pressure .because i think everyone must be work under pressure and i am the one of them, so i don`t think it`s more important things in my life.
I feel better when i ignore it. But sometimes i am out of sleep, for working under pressure so long time. I will be running till i am tired, and i will go go bed easily.
That`s all what i just do. and you?
