I will always secretly hate beautiful women

Not really, no. I am too old to care about being pretty anymore. Ultimately, OP, looks are irrelevant. Many of the happiest, most successful, women I know wouldn’t be considered to be beautiful.

They tended to have big egos and not much more. I met a very normal guy through work who I really liked but he never asked me out so I asked him out. Later he said he never asked me out because he figured I was out of his league. We have been happily married a very long time and we have two beautiful adult daughters and I believe I did a good job coaching them about men because they both married very nice normal guys.

yup, same. it took me a while to learn not to go for the handsome, swagger-y guys who just wanted you for their own ego boost.

Even supermodels get old and gain weight. Just look at Linda Evangelista.

Being pretty and maintaining it can become a personal prison for women. There’s no freedom in feeling you have to always look perfect.

I am curious to know what people here consider beautiful though? Like name a celebrity who you believe is beautiful.

Even if they don't get fat, they just get old. Only weirdos are attracted to old women.

But they still had those fantastic early years that the rest of these posters didn't have, as they also get fat and old. So there's that.

But it’s probably way harder for a supermodel to become old and fat, than any average woman. I can see where that would be very depressing for them.

I am a straight man and I would choose Ellen over Cindy Crawford definitely.

I totally see how some women are constantly being told they are beautiful and they eat it up and seek out the attention.

The closest I recently got to what had to be a runway model was on the East River ferry from E35th to Dumbo. She was unaccompanied, oddly enough. She was perfect. I eventually took in her wardrobe which seemed commonplace at first glance but upon further inspection was similarly perfect. I'm sure they sold for $1000es. The experience was much like gazing at a masterpiece at the Met Museum. She will never know how our "encounter' rewarded my like. Beautiful women are treasures and should be rewarded with lavish wardrobe stipends.

I'm reminded of a conversation that I had with a former female boss. She is an average looking civil and structural engineer. I am an average looking female college graduate worker bee.

Female boss asked me what I thought the girls who "peaked" in high school were doing? It made me realize that my female boss had not been in the popular set in high school.

I'd take running a successful business over "peaking" in high school any day as a woman.

Well, out of context like that: only weirdos are attracted to fat women?

I don't think it's weird at all to be attracted to fat women (or fat men). But old women? Yes, weird. I don't care how much plastic surgery they have or how thin they are -- who is sexually attracted to an old woman? That's just weird. Give it up already.

I think it's weir you don't think old women are attractive and that it's weird someone would be attracted to them.
