At least that’s the question a British woman is asking as she discussed that being beautiful has many perks as well as down sides. From many downsides, one was that men don’t approach beautiful women, thinking “she’s out of my league,” while women would rather not hang out with someone more beautiful.
“the main one being that other women hate me for no other reason than my lovely looks”
“If you are attractive other women think you lead a perfect life — which simply isn’t true”
“Women, however, are far more problematic”
“I find that **older women are the most hostile to beautiful women **— perhaps because they feel their own bloom fading. Because my husband is ten years older than me, his social circle is that bit older too.”
“Yet I dread the inevitable sarky comments. ‘Here she comes. We’re in the village hall yet Sam’s dressed for the Albert Hall,’ was one I recently overheard. As a result I find dinner parties and social gatherings fraught and if I can’t wriggle out of them, then often dress down in jeans and a demure, albeit pretty, top.But even these ploys don’t always work. Take last summer and a birthday party I attended with my husband. At one point the host, who was celebrating his 50th, decided he wanted a photo with all the women guests. Positioning us, the photographer suggested I stand immediately to his right for the shot.”
Women hate on each other for many things. Is it really hard to believe that they wouldn’t like a really beautiful woman? One that could attract the attention of every man in the room…
