Are you an attractive person, physically? I often wonder about very beautiful people because I wonder if anybody else tries to look more deeper in the beautiful people, passed their face. I know a few very attractive people who got away with everything because of their faces. But I also know a few who've become really competitive because they didn't want to be defined by their faces. The expectations and standards can either be too high or too low for good looking people. What do you think?

I wouldn't say that I am a very attractive person but I am ok looking, I guess. I think that what you say is true though - it must be hard for those people who are incredibly physically attractive to be taken seriously or to be judged for anything other than their looks. personally, I don't think I would want to be extremely attractive for exactly those reasons - far better that you are judged according to what you deserve.

Well,I am not a pretty face so I really do not know how does it feels.
But with observation,pretty faces can be an asset for earning money ,like being a model ,a celebrity or being adore by rich and famous people.
A face as the lyric goes "could launch a thousand ships"
It means...that depends on how we define the real beauty ...inside and out.
have a good day

The important thing is what is inside a person. If they use what is inside to get what they want they are alot better off. If they use their looks those looks will fail and then what will they have? It doesn't last. What is inside does. And yes there are expectations set on both. Depending on how they are raised and how they feel about themselves.

I have been called attractive by others and the most annoying thing I can remember is constant pick up attempts and then guys getting angry often name calling and administering physical abuse when I turned them down. I was afraid to look males in the eyes when walking by because any eye contact to them meant something in their delusional brains and plus I did not want to be attacked again. If they called me, I ran the other way and claimed that I was going to be late to some important event. That life was no where near as hard as when everyone was calling me ugly.

hem not really too hard being pretty, pretty is from inside not just from outside what people can see. so the most imporatant is from inside not outside. brain, beauty, and behavior is the most important fo female.

Everyone loves beauty. Even it is just the look. But what matters more is inner beauty, that is attained afterborn. So when we judge a person, we should consider both his or her looking and characters.

Well, I can't say that I am a physically attractive person. However, I think that there is more to a person than just what they look like. There are more important things than their physical appearance. Some people can be physically beautiful. However, they can also be beautiful, even if it's not by physical appearance. They can be beautiful, because of their personality.

I know that a couple of my friends at university say that their friends at home were surprised when they got such good grades because they're pretty and they never realised that they had the brains as well. I am not pretty, so I don't have to worry about that and people tend to take me at face value and will always accept the fact that I am clever because I don't have anything to cloud that. I do wish that I was pretty though, as I think that you're given much better chances in life if you're attractive rather than being unattractive.

I think I am a beautiful person, and not saying because of my looks but I am a very caring individual who is polite and respectful at all time. I find this to be one of my better qualities because I am always trying to boost others constantly. I will ask my boyfriend if he thinks the outside of me matches my insides. lol

let's face it, stereo-type that people that are beautiful have more opportunities in this world.but for me it's not all about physical, attitude is the most important.

People always say:inside beauty is more important than outside beauty. But in my opinion,sometimes this saying was a comfort. Most people care outside beauty. I am not pretty, but I like pretty people. Maybe you will say I am superficial. But this is my truly motion.

I've noticed that the really beautiful ppl do not think they r beautiful. Even if you tell them a million times...
Yes, you can judge a person only on looks, but what does that say about your character?? I think being a beauty could b a hindrance or an advantage, "pretty" ppl are the ones most likely to get certain jobs, esp in the front (a common stereotype). But when u see a pretty person work at a smart persons store, like the apple store, dont you raise an eyebrow, thinking "do they really kno what there doing?" So yes we judge by looks, but each preference of beauty is different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Im in the acting industry and it is about looks, not as much as other fields, but you need a clean face, doesnt have to be a god send face but interesting to look at. Its what you do with it. We r all given our lot in life. I think it is harder for pretty ppl, since as a society we like pretty things, and we put them up on a pedestal. I wouldn't say im pretty, average at best, but i know that i am smart. And i remember that when others saw i was smart they created a standard for me, i then had to meet it. So I guess it could be that way with looks, they might think, I always need to look pretty, sound pretty ect. Idk if i answered your question, i kind of went in circles and didnt proof read... hahahaha sorry.

I was quiet attractive and i did get away with things between my charisma and looks (not trying to brag, buuuttt i just had a motobike accident (hit a brick wall face first no helmet) and it screwed up my face, surgical procedures left scars, now i ccnat get away with nuttin by just smiling and talking my way out of it.. Pretty people deserve to know they are attractive, but they also like to take advantage of it. Expectations are too low i rekon.
