do "pretty"/"good looking" get treated different?

I was referencing that you seem to have a problem with every post that I make. Like the fact that I wouldn't trade my looks for a "healthy" mind? Why is that a bad thing?
It's not just what you said, it's how it came across. I know people trade in looks for health all the time. But to say "I'd rather be pretty than mentally stable" I'm sorry, to me that is really conceited and just so arrogant. Mental health, or missing an arm or a leg is not something people choose to have or not have. It's NOT like choosing to go tanning or to restrict yourself to 500 calories a day. It portrays everything that is wrong with society: nothing matters as long as your skinny and pretty. It doesn't matter WHO you are, what is behind that oh so pretty face. That is what's wrong with your statement.

You're whole argument that a woman is only a "real" woman when she does this and this or doesn't do certain things - again, you and your mindset are part of the problem.

Your statement that women are so catty and you'd rather hang out with the boys - again, that makes you part of the problem.

Society is so twisted when it comes to women and I have no tolerance for someone, ESPECIALLY, a woman to contribute to this bs.

Aren't you yourself being "catty" with this very statement? I am not wishing I had a mental issue, I HAVE mental issues and there are ways (for me) to manage it, so I don't need to "trade it in". It's easier to function in society with the mental issues I have now WITH my looks than to be ugly and mentally healthy because I would end up with body image issues anyway.

I mean this about MYSELF I never said OTHER PEOPLE with mental issues shouldn't trade in THEIR looks for mental health.

So no, I voiced a personal statement about myself, so no I do not see the problem.

Wait is rigby a boy!? I totally thought rigby was a girl...
Ah crap I didn't even realize how I wrote that!! Rigby is definitely a girl :rofl1:

I meant that because Rigby is often with Cobain, he doesn't get the perks because they'd have to let her funny-looking ass in with him :p

Just to be sorta on topic I guess.....

If some magical fairy came by and offered to rid me of all my "issues" but change what I look like (regardless of whether the change be considered ugly or pretty), I think I'd rather stay being me?
I mean, I've gotten pretty used to my mental state and looks over the past 23 years o_O

I love this quote :D

I've met plenty of ugly "pretty" people.

Dogdragoness, you seem to think that everyone is unattractive except for you! Pregnant women are ugly and disgusting, women with makeup and nice clothes are "fake" and unattractive, etc, etc. You are really doing women an injustice.

When anyone calls you out on being rude and snotty, you pull the same BS excuse every time: "it's a public forum, it's my opinion, I can say what I want!!!" You use the excuse of freedom of expression to hide behind your screen in order to be an offensive b*tch. Why do you care SO much about how attractive other women are. Why does it disgust you so much to see women you don't feel have "nice" bodies?

I think you're living inside your head quite a bit:

Yes I know I have noticed that, luckily I work with a bunch of guys, and my fiancee. Even girls who I would deem prettier than me hate me, maybe because I am "real" and they are not (you know, as a man what I am talking about: tons of makeup, revealing clothes etc ...) I don't have to TRY to be good looking and they hate it ;)
This, I work in a barn and have gone to the store straight from work, also, when I paddock horses and I hand them off to the pony person for the race, I go to the track level of the grandstand to watch the race on the TVs they have. I encounter patrons/customers and never have I gotten a judgemental or an "ewww gross!" Look from anyone. What I HAVE gotten still (in both situations) is men checking me out and making passes at me, even though I am sweaty and dirty and whatever.

I think it's more about attitude than what someone wears.
But then you say that attitude makes you attractive... even though you clearly think that women have to look a certain way to be "attractive."

Not me, call me superficial, but if I had a choice BTW keeping my looks ... or being fugly but not having the issues I have with ADHD, ODD and anxiety, I will keep my pretty, ****ed up self lol
I'd recommend getting some help to work through these issues. You've offended more than a handful of women and girls on this forum. They're not the ones with issues though... it's you.

I's prooooobably not helping "the cause" any to call another woman "ugly" as though that's the worst possible thing they could be.

I think we could probably come up with another list of things to call an individual based on their behavior than "ugly."

Although I get that it's a response to "I'M SO PRETTY LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME." So the natural adjective to use is the opposite of pretty. But perhaps not the most appropriate one (even if it's true?)


Also, I gotta tell you guys, it does wonders for your blood pressure and stress level to put people on ignore. I've missed like half the "REASONS TO GET HOT AND INSULT OTHER PEOPLE" in this thread. I'd have missed all of them if you people would quit quoting.

I just wanted to say that it has been my experience that the people so busy pointing out how "ugly and unattractive" other people are, the ones with the "I am so great looking and nobody is attractive as me" attitude are often the ones that are the most insecure about their appearance.

If you genuinely like the way you look..if you genuinely find yourself attractive you don't have the need to point out "flaws" in the appearance of others to make sure everyone knows how "pretty" you are.
