[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never been pretty (I’m less than average - have a crooked nose, weird shaped mouth, close set eyes, bad skin), but when I was in my twenties I was fit and was well groomed. I married a great guy and have two great kids (neither of whom is particularly attractive either) and I’m a successful attorney (I don’t think my lack of looks has ever held me up professionally). Now that I’m in my 50s I’m even less attractive because, well, aging, but I’ve had several health issues and am just very grateful my body is continuing to keep on keeping on. [/quote]

Oh and I have many great friends and family, so all in all I’d say I have a great life. [/quote]
I've been called pretty before, but I don't have a lot of great friends because my personality is too strong -- controlling and opinionated.

I have a friend (one of a handful of good friends) is less attractive than I am (objectively, she even called me pretty), but she is beautiful on the inside,.  Everyone is drawn to her because she seems so happy and kind.  There's a light in her that people find attractive.  She's had several guys interested in her when we were younger. She got married at like 23, and still married with two wonderful children.  Her sister is also not that attractive, but she doesn't have that same light, so she doesn't have as many good friends.  That doesn't mean she hasn't had guys interested in her. She has been married 2x.

[b]I don't think attractive people are really any happier.  IMO, people who are happy with themselves live happy lives.[/b]

(Yes, I am married, too, with two great kids. Married 20+ years.)[/quote]

well duh.  I have a friend who is gorgeous.  She turns heads.  When I'm with her (as a reasonably attractive woman), I become invisible to sales clerks, waiters, etc.  Sometimes I fantasize about waving across their line of site "HELLOO!!??  I'm sitting here!!!  I'm a human too!"
She has it easy with job promotions even and spontaneous job offers (in her professional field).  She gets great customer service.

But she's not happier.  She worries a lot about her looks--she has very high standards of how she must look to go out in public  (when frankly it wouldn't diminish her looks if she was in paper sack and had bed head). Her marriage is ok. Her kids are ok.  But she isn't any happier than any of us.  [/quote]
