pretty privilege isn't a privilege

No people subconsciously view pretty people more positively.

If people are voluntarily giving you extra goods and services because of your looks; their intentions do not matter in the slightest. It is still a privilege.

Halo effect probably helps a woman better jobs, though.

Actual models literally talk about pretty privilege all the time.

They get flown out to fucking yachts for fucks sakes, that's the upper echelon, but even the average cute girl gets some benefit.

Only way you can deny the existence of pretty privilege is if you didn't experience it yourself.

Yeah getting free drinks, vip tables, flown out on vacation, invited onto boats, all just because of the way you look…. Not a privilege at all.

It's just more people being fake to you in hopes of gratifying their own desires.

People start relationships to gratify their own desires. People do almost everything in life to gratify their desires.

Intentions don't matter. The privilege is real, for both women and men who are physically attractive.

It's the cognitive dissonance of understanding this and yet not willing to live without the benefits and the power it gives you.

Is that the limit of a pretty person's experience?

Not a single person was nice to them just to be nice?

Sure it is. It just comes with some downsides as well.

It feels a little like a billionaire complaining about taxes, but a man in the desert will never understand the suffering of a drowning woman.

I've been The Ugly Kid, but I became more attractive as I got older. Sure, I might get some fancy shit from lonely rich guys, and people are more inclined to like me for no reason. Don't get me wrong, that's great. I'm also a lot more likely to get raped/abused, be treated like an object, deal with resentment from other women, have guys pretend to be "friends" so they can swoop in to fuck when I seem vulnerable, etc. It can lead to trauma, anxiety, and intense paranoia. Even though some people are nice just to be nice, it still feels like you can't trust anyone.

I still prefer being attractive to being ugly, but incels seem to think it's all sunshine and sushi. I'm not looking for pity or anything, but I think it's important to share the different struggles people experience. It sucks not fucking, but it also sucks to be thought of only in terms of your fuckability.
