I have  friend that is photogenic but homely in person.

She used to be a cheerleader in some little town high school.  Sadly, she thinks that dictates the rest of her life in her favor.  Her husband (rather poorly and) falsely sings her praises to a point where it is obvious something really bad is up.  He's unhappy with the way things have turned out!  I feel embarrassed for her (him too), but she seems to thrive on his awkward attempt at semi-validation.

I say this because, in the meantime, it is crystal clear how very attached to 20-years-ago she is.  It really is sad.   She has a "saleperson" personality that is also devaluing with age.

She is quite catty as a result of her "socialization". [I was a cheerleader once, too and realize that not all once-cheerleaders are like this.  Fortunately, I have accomplished other things in all those years].

The funny thing is, she does NOTHING.  She doesn't take care of her kids, work, or so much as cook or clean; so it is really difficult NOT to feel bad for him.  He's obviously some sort of stuck.

So, I believe she THINKS women don't hate her.  BUT she gives women a bad name by falling into a stereotype.  The stereotype is worsened by how catty she can be behind people's backs.  It comes through with her kids.  Or instead, other people's kids.  She is an unhealthy kind of competitive.  She actually talks bad about other people's kids without having the facts, which turns people off really quick.

She clings onto who she thinks will somehow make her "socially advantaged"; then is in naive shock and awe when people are not there for her or when  people realize how shallow she really is.  It is ALL about appearances!

So ladies, one moral of the story is that living in the past is NOT advantageous.

I was especially struck by the post that had the insight to know that (PP) was once hot; but is now aging and people (especially women)  are treating her differently.

Very insightful!
