Truly gorgeous women don’t have it as easy as you think

Some women do both though and most of my friends are gorgeous AND make $250K—$500K a year. These women were 8-10/10 in their youth/up to age 40 but were also very substantive people.

I’ve been called gorgeous repeatedly throughout my life. Believe me it doesn’t help with men. It just means lots of jerks hit on me. Store clerks are nicer and strangers smile more. No one takes me seriously at work, except for other attractive women. The worst part is knowing how fleeting and superficial it is, but at the same time, I like being attractive. Weird, right?

I identify with all of them he above but being 45 now I am grateful that my self esteem isn’t based on my more or less slowly diminishing looks. We have to make sure young women have more to them than looks, and it’s often very easy for them to get lost in all the attention they get for just being beautiful.

Dowdy, overweight childhood with coke bottle glasses and then BAM! Smoking hot at 22.

Story of my wife.

It was like that at my first HS reunion. The mousy, bookish girls were all suddenly drop dead gorgeous and the popular girls were all on the way to pushing maximum density.

Last year I went to my 25th college reunion and the hot ones clearly peaked in college. I’m sure I have peaked but it was only recently. It’s funny how that works out.

Compared to their homely equals, beautiful women do really well on interviews and on corporate ladder for their competence level.

They have a huge advantage in client facing professions like modeling, escorting, customer service, sales, acting, singing etc etc

They do great in dating and short term relationships but not so much in long term marriages.

That's my observation too. I'm a middle aged man and I'm decent looking, but I'm not a guy most women would regard as hot. Many gorgeous women choose to go on dates with me and a few love to talk with me because I'm a good listener. What I hear, pretty consistently, are stories about their bad choices, broken hearts, and fear of aging.

Gorgeous women get dumped fairly often and they dump people fairly often, but they almost always find new men very quickly. If they're alone, they're alone by choice. They never go through sexual frustration unless they want to and they can get instant gratification in the form of requests for dates if they want it.

My younger brother, now in his late 40’s, had a long string of gorgeous girlfriends from HS on. One was more beautiful than the other and we were all amazed given that while he is good looking he’s no Brad Pitt. When he got married 20 years ago he married a very pretty girl but not a gorgeous one and he told me that she was the one because she was very smart, a lot of fun, had goals and he could really see her being a great wife and mother. Twenty years later they are very happy.

Cry me an f***ing river.
It's well proven that beautiful people have a much easier time in life. Better career opportunities, make more money, people flock to them, etc. etc.
Make the most out of your looks while youth is on your side, be thankful, grateful every day for your undeserved blessings. Use your gift/blessing to help others. Then coast into old age knowing with great memories knowing you had a privilege. And likely have beautiful children that will benefit as well.

yep. often the curvy voluptuous girls in HS,college become the overweight ones after kids and in their 40's.
the beanpoles tend to age better, maybe because of a natural metabolism that keeps them thin and looking younger

This^. You can't be infatuated all your life with someone's looks, a life long partnership requires other qualities to prosper.

Many of my college's prettiest girls didn't age well at all.

As one of these women, I can attest to that. Men dump beauties with no feeling of guilt whatsoever, as they know the woman will find next BF within couple months. It's very easy for me to get many options, but it takes a lot of self perseverance to keep my knees closed and not get involved with wrong guys. I only learned to take my time looking for a partner in my 40s
