thank you ECA #13. This is what it is like for some of us, especially those of us who didn’t grow up “pretty.” Nobody talks to us except the creepy guy on the corner and the few supercool platonic people who already know us, which is still pretty f**king isolating. (BTW, the same goes for supersmart people, to comment on an idiotic example in one of these other posts- Full disclosure: I belong to both camps.) Also everyone assumes you always get your way- HA. For example, when I tell people I can’t find anyone to date, they assume I’m getting offers all the time and act like I just have impossible standards. Of course, these people are usually 6, smart, funny, eclectic, non-blonde. I’d say that’s pretty broad, but maybe I am overestimating th number of >6es). And it’s hard drumming up attraction for people who don’t make you feel a certain way, no matter what else they might have going on. Then the ones who do make you feel a certain way are loose cannons as far as using u, abusing u, etc. BECAUSE YOU ARE GOOD-LOOKING or because THEY were raised pretty or because they have low self-esteem. Given the choices, don’t you think the outlook is pretty bleak?

Just think about it: if responses to this post are any indication of how most people think of good-looking people, don’t you have your answer as to why this documentary was done? If you still don’t get it, you seriously need to get over your jealousy and grow some empathy. Not everyone is spoiled. Of course these people are usually <6ers on the 10 scale and are jealous or have had to lower their expectations b/c of THEIR looks and generally have some misconceptions about how great my life is in general. In reality, the offers I do get are usually from the creepy guy on the corner, the weirdo in the group or someoeone I would never choose for myself based on “looks”” before my stated preferences.
