[quote=Anonymous]Seriously, I think some of these "above average" women are making pretty big leaps to assume that their problems stem from their beauty. It seems like it's offered as an excuse for other failures: I didn't get promoted earlier because I'm too pretty; I don't make friends easily because they think I give off a standoffish vibe but it's really because I'm too pretty; my male colleagues don't take me seriously because I'm too pretty (because this has never been an issue for an average woman, right?). I've worked with some BEAUTIFUL women and unless there was something else going on (e.g., overly flirtatious behavior, inappropriate dress, arrogant) I didn't see the sort of "too pretty" hazards being described. That said, when the average looking girl pulls the same stuff (too flirty, clothes too tight, arrogance) she runs into the same problems - but doesn't turn around and blame it on her good looks.
