Please stop, you are wrong. Im attractive and people hate me. Have you ever considered whats its like to be attractive? People are instantly jealous of you and hate you. And they make sure to lay judgement into you -- if you arent whip smart they will tear you down just like anyone else. I know ugly, average looking and good looking people who all do very well with people and in life. It comes down to your intelligence, not how you look. Please dont mutilate your face like a south korean teenager. Just like them you will find thay its not worth it.

Sorry, but I've never seen anything like this happen after high school. Attractiveness is respected, especially if you can keep or improve it as you begin to age.

If you're referring to the eyelid surgery, it's not THAT kind of eyelid surgery.

Question for you and xor1. Are you talking about going from a 1 to a 5, from a 5 to an 8 or from an 8 to a 10?

My intuition is that at the deformed end of the spectrum, any improvement is going to be 99% positive and that it starts to become more of a mixed blessing as you approach perfection.

I don't like using a 10-point system because it's so ambiguous, but I guess I'm talking about going from 5-8 to 8-10. The way I mentally do rankings is Ugly - Acceptable - Exceptional, so going from Acceptable to Exceptional.

(For the record, I try very, very hard to treat everyone equally, since the influence that attractiveness has on human behavior is something that I'm aware of and think about constantly. Hence this discussion.)

I thought of this too. Im not talking about deformities.

I think intelligence in general is not exactly what makes you do well with people, it's more of a certain type of intelligence that has no direct relation to what (most of us) consider intelligence.

I myself consider to be really intelligent and even attractive, although my interest in relating with people is really low and thus it's difficult for me to interact with strangers. I'm bad at this kind of intelligence that makes you good at human relations.

"Please stop, you are wrong".

After reading the article, I can sort of see where the problem lies. Judging people does no good. =D

>Please stop, you are wrong. Im attractive and people hate me.

These two sentences are all the evidence required to conclude that your issue is not your looks. They reek of a superiority complex, victim mentality, and a complete lack of understanding and respect for other people and their life experiences. Very unattractive. No wonder people want to tear you down.

You can keep blaming your looks and other people for your failings, or you can do some serious reflection and tackle the very uncomfortable truths you've been avoiding about how you show up, interact, and perceive yourself and others.

Wake up. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Nah thats just you reading into it too much or projecting. You know nothing about me.

Envy exists, but de-beautifying operations are rare. The pluses, obvious to those who've read Darwin, thoroughly outweigh the minuses.

Are you female? Most of my attractive male friends are surrounded by both sexes but being an attractive female seems to make you a pariah.

Im a guy
