“The Halo Effect”: 38 Times People Noticed “Pretty Privilege” Is Real

This happens?

in my 30s random guys gave me free stuff ALL of the time w/o me ever asking them for anything...and not send over a drink...odd things, like free lottery tickets at the convenience store, free lighter at a gas station...in my 60s now...i couldn't get a man to pee on me if i was on fire.

🤔 maybe you need to wear leggings too

how much men laughed at my jokes depended on my weight...inversely proportional

I actually found the invisibility that comes with age as a woman a relief. No more cat calling, no more being leered at or groped in public, and while my face is weathered and hair greying, I'm much more comfortable in my skin than I ever was when I was younger.

As a bloke I've always gravitated towards the quiet, 'unattractive' (by whose standards?) girl/woman. I have never felt underwhelmed.

Henry Cavill and computer games come to mind :-)

Maybe stupid maybe sweet he didn't notice he was better looking

Aww, bless him.

Boowhoooo

True but I'm afraid it's far more deeply embedded than that. Attractiveness is seen by the subconscious as "good mating stock" and we are still ruled by our instincts. In the wild, a female of any given mammal species will avoid sickly or weak males. In our species they do too but we have misogyny as well, which the animals haven't developed yet.

I agree with Ace, this is, effectively, straightforward prostítution.

So that's where management comes from.

The kindest people are well below the "i have everything & always will" line. But, are treated like trash. Tell me!?!? Does this make sense¡¿¡¿

That might have more to do with fandom than attraction/appearance. People with expensive season tickets (who actually enjoy the sport(s) amd not just going to games for the status), will give away their tickets to fans when they can't make the game.

Should've sent your friend back...

you should respond, "i don't know...i'm not her pimp."

The very serious downsides to 'pretty privilege' greatly outweigh any positives. Having to deal with men physically stalking you and becoming obsessed to the point where you are forced to get a protective order, changes how you move through the world. What makes everything worse is people assume you don't struggle with anything and life is all sunshine and roses.

Depends on the compliment

One of the few jobs were they can openly hire based on looks.

Either she looks like Mariah Carey, OR she was pretty.

Ouch. Dude is being used and ab*sed, and is genuinely asking for more ab*se!

I worked with a guy who was named Thor. He was stunningly good-looking, and a lovely person to boot!
