[quote=Anonymous]I am not beautiful but I have a pretty face and know how to present myself well. And no, absolutely not, I don't look down on anyone because of their looks. I grew up middle class and sometimes poor and I didn't learn how to look good until I was in my 20s. I had awful acne in my teens and into my 20s, which I have since learned is absolutely tied to stress for me (and feeling financially insecure and unattractive were sources of stress). I also had a deeply insecure mother who often told me I wasn't attractive (which is also how she saw herself). So I had no confidence, terrible posture, had no idea how to dress. It took me a long time to figure all this out.

If you want tips on addressing acne and breakouts, I have them. Everyone's skin is different, but I will say that I managed to get to clear skin without having to pay for expensive prescriptions (I mean, at one point I did, but the ultimate solution lay elsewhere) or do anything drastic.

I also had to figure out my hair, which is now one of my assets but for years was limp and hard to manage and took a lot of work to make look good.

I will say the one thing I've always had going for me is that I'm naturally thin. But everyone has something. Everyone. There is no one who doesn't have at least one enviable feature, whether it's great hair with lots of natural volume, or beautiful eyes, or height or long legs or whatever. There is something beautiful in everyone, I really believe it. And it can require privilege to bring it out.

So no, I never look down on a less attractive women because I know what it is to go through life not knowing how to put your best foot forward, and I know often appearance is beyond your control.

I do judge women who are arrogant about their looks or who only befriend other women if they look a certain way. I also judge women who, like me, got more attractive later in life and who then believe this is an excuse to treat less attractive women poorly. I had a friend like this once and it hurt my heart because I knew her behavior stemmed from her own insecurity and her belief that it was her "turn" to be a queen bee. It was sad.[/quote]
