    I don't think it is that - I don't think they do. I would say what that comes from is many people who are beautiful and know they are beautiful come to sort of expect others to pay court to them so they have sort of an attitude.  Not all ugly people have great personalities but we are generally more approachable and if we develop good personalities it is very helpful to us.  Not that I am necessarily "ugly" though I have been referred to as that at times.  But more I just have very plain facial features and sort of an androgynous countenance and my skin for many years was not clear and my hair sort of oily.  Though I have always had a good figure but not much in the way of boobs until menopause.  Certainly some people have found me attractive and sexy but I would never have ended up in any fashion magazines and have never been what people in general consider pretty or cute or attractive.

    I. sure sometimes but mostly he just enjoys my company. Neither of us really is any prize in the looks department.

  • Do you really think that's true?  Sadly, a lot of times, people don't even bother to get to know someone they think isn't attractive.  They don't appear to care what's below the surface.  

    Honestly, I think who is "ugly" is anyone who labels another person's physical appearance.  I might guess they're kind of insecure themselves if they need to be that mean.  Who cares what they think.

  • To an exaggerated extent I could see some truth in it. As you said people sometimes take such a surface approach to their fellow human.  Our eyes have a way of immediately judging a person even when we know they shouldn't.

  • That's often true .. but I guess it's their loss that they don't bother to get to know people and appreciate who they are inside.  Hopefully, some of that lessens with maturity.  The right people for you will appreciate everything about you.

    I have long since shed concerning myself with other people’s expectations. Or imposing mine on others. 
    Live true to who you are, and those who find that worthwhile may join you.

  • No, but I do tire of people expecting me to be a jerk because I'm adorable :P

    Just kidding. People tend to expect little of me because I'm quiet--that supersedes anything else.

  • People judge others for all kinds of superficial reasons. Can you believe someone once judged me for having a  ´shriek-y Canadian GnR voice’  while screaming ‘welcome to the jungle’ at a pub.? :/  Oh and don’t be so hard on yourself.....You have a great personality ;)

    I don't know how to word this in a way that doesn't sound egotistical, but I think having people find you attractive and not care about your personality is probably equally as bad. Or, worse yet, make assumptions like an earlier poster did about how attractive people have higher expectations. 

    I'm haunting dating sites again and it's a pain in the @ss. I intentionally lead my profiles with a photo that is totally untouched (no editing, no blemish removals, no wrinkle removals, no filters, nada) and has me wearing almost no makeup. If I post a "pretty" picture, I literally get hundreds of likes in a day and dozens of messages. With this, it drops down to maybe a third that. But, of those, there are still very few who even bother to read my profile. Nobody cares to get to know me. Nobody cares what my thoughts, lifestyle, or aspirations are like. Maybe I am decent-looking, but my looks are going to fade. I want someone who actually cares who I am. Ultimately, I get maybe one message every few days from someone who bothered to look below the surface. Sure, I do get an "attitude" about it as someone else mentioned, but WTF difference does it make if 100 or even 1,000 men would sleep with me? It doesn't pad my ego though. It just makes me sad. I'm seriously considering creating a "blind" dating site where no photos get posted at all. Purely matching people up based on traits and personality.

    I don't let people tire me or wake me up.

    I do that stuff on my own.

    What they do about my face and my behavior is not my problem.

    Hello ProdigalSon.
    I would guess your question was aske in jest and was meant to be fun, however I am going to give a more serious response.
    I was always considered to be quite attractive in my youth. I was confident and a tad cocky. In my later 20's I was a professional Drummer and lived a rather hedonistic lifestyle. I then met a woman who I would marry. A few years into the marriage I was involved in an incident that would change my life forever. I suffered an injury which caused extensive damage to my face. My right eye socket was shattered, as well as my upper sinuses. My nose was broken, my jaw was broken, half my teeth were knocked out and I ended up with a hole in my forehead the size of a 50 cent piece. I was in surgery for 12 hours and in an induced coma for weeks.
    Part of the surgery was that they cut my skull, ear to ear over the top of my head, they then put 38 metal staples in my head. In the rush of the surgery the shaved only the top of my head and left the rest there.
    When I was brought out of the coma, I still had the staples and a bloody mass of hair under the bandages. After awhile the bandages were removed, I was put in a chair and wheeled outside. My face was still swollen and purple and my head looked a mess. I will never forget the look of horror on a couple of kids who were in the waiting room as they wheeled me by. I lost my wife, my home and everything I had built to that point.
    The doctors did a pretty good job putting me back together, but my face has obvious signs of trauma. I am no longer the handsome man I was.
    After a time of healing they did say I could have a plastic plate put over the "dent" in my forehead, but I refused it, it just wasn't important.
    It took a long time, full of anger and frustration to get my life back. It was and is different since the accident. I ended up with full custody of my two young children, and have raised them. I am happy to say they a wonderful adults now on their own chasing their dreams and we are very close.
    I am sure there are people who see me and might describe me as "ugly", they are completely unaware of just what it took for me to look the way I do, what I had to do to get here, the challenges, the pain, the joy, the great love, the satisfaction, all to their most intense. There are not many people who will experience what I have and if they feel they have the grace to call me ugly, I do not care, I am happy with my life and who I am.
    Everybody has a story and we do not what that story is, so we should be careful when we throw out words like "ugly" or "retarded" or any other name which aims to hurt..
