Been thinking on this today and thought I might offer the question: Is Beauty an Asset or a Curse? I consider myself an average looker, so I have no way of judging this myself other than looking at a close relative who, by all accounts, was considered quite attractive by women. I think we do favor attractive people in our society. I think it does give people advantage socially and economically. But on the flip side, I think expectations are higher for attractive people, too. I believe attractive people are expected to succeed in life's endeavors, and there is greater pressure on them in general. What are your thoughts?
When I was young *cough,cough* I was very beautiful but it never gave any advantages, quite the opposite. Since people think beautiful people get everything "for free" and don't even have to try etc, they are ( or I was at least) being seen as the enemy by the majority and often get s frozen out from society because of that. " She doesn't need any help because she's beautiful" etc. ie "don't help her ever because we hate how she looks". Well, that was my traumatic experience anyway. Now I'm a little bit uglier and people are hence being more friendly too, strange really.
I agree. Beautiful people run into, not only jealousy but epicaricacy, as well. I just checked out your blog again, Bebes. It looks way better. Your artwork is even improving. Nice job!
I once knew a gigolo who said : "I'm ugly and my momma dresses me funny, but the little girls seem to love it." (he actually was rather cute, and had a real positive outlook on life) A pretty woman once invited me out and then into her life--------------She complained that she was lonely because of her good looks, in that too many guys thought her unattainable. So, for her, maybe a curse?
There were people complaining about "too much stuff" so I cleaned it up a little. I'm really bored with art right now, no time to do any new stuff either. I wouldn't say it has improved, but gotten more mainstream ..which is bad, very bad, that must change.
Yes, I have that problem too, people are way too shy around me, which makes me shy too and wonder what's wrong with me...you know. Or, the opposite, they behave like cavemen, send dicpics and dirty messages.
I had a look since you mentioned it. I was anticipating more art work. And there was no link to her videos.
Just an observation: Anyone troubled by their exceptional beauty, can fix that with a few superficial stokes of a knife across their face (or if a coward too, get it done under anesthesia).
Fake? or not? It is still disgusting. ................... To me anyway... eye of the beholder and all that ................................................ Maybe, being a figurative sculptor in love with the human body has made me a tad thin skinned for the like of what you posted?
I posted it hastily and went off to do other things. I also like horror movies. Gore itself is boring without the suspense, however.
