Being pretty is great. You have friends, you feel good, people like you, etc,etc. However, there's also a saying that beautiful girls are trouble. Hmmm, I think on one hand, things seem easier for pretty people but on the other, they will be target for predators. So, what do you say? Life is easier or harder for them?

this is a bit late, but... i think attractive people do have things easier generally. i've been told a lot of times that i'm very naturally pretty. and being that i work in sales, that definitely works to my advantage because it's been proven that people are drawn to others who essentially are what they want to be. that's why people are drawn to confidence and beauty and out-going personalities and such...because they can emulate them. that being said, pretty people often have a bad rep for being stupid and worthless and only relying on their looks. and if that's true, life will be horrible. i think it's up to that person to be well learned and intelligent and self-sufficient so they can say "yeah i'm pretty, but i can also fend for myself." by doing that, those pretty people can earn even more respect because a lot of people don't readily associate pretty with self-sufficient, if that makes sense.

depending on the owner's own beauty, friend, if she could take care her beauty of course she will be kept away from predators by God, but if with her beauty, she use it for things that are negative, the predator will eat it

Well said. Being a good person (in consideration to how one reacts with others) and or being not tempted by lures can avoid lots of harm. Predators have opportunities to attack because of flaws in one's character. Still, pretty people are subjected to much more of such traps conceived just to target them as compared to plains, so, life is harder.
