ATTRACTIVE people get preferential treatment at work, research has found, but the gorgeous have replied that beauty brings its own issues. You feel you could cope with these:
Potential partners are intimidated by you
Beautiful women miss out on meeting wonderful men because they’re afraid to approach them, which raises the question of what spineless wanker can’t talk to a woman just because she’s fit. Or what kind of wanker is unable to chat to a woman without it being a full-on attempt to pull her. The hotness is just filtering out various types of wanker. What’s the problem?
Always being hit on
No one likes twats who won’t take no for an answer, but nobody ever wanting to f**k you is far worse. Basically it’s nice to have options. You don’t have to sleep with all of them unless you’ve got severe self-esteem issues or are really nosy about how other people’s flats look.
Your career not being taken seriously
You don’t have to work and everyone knows it. If you’ve got an important job you feel passionate about it could be an issue, as in ‘General, I feel strongly we should pause the weaponised velociraptors project until my team has addressed the psychotic killing spree issue.’ Otherwise, drift prettily around and get promoted.
Nobody caring about your personality
Have you even bothered to develop one? Interesting people wear thin, banging on about shit all the time, knowing stuff, having opinions, insisting on watching documentaries. This only seems an issue because the desirable overestimate how the depth of their personalities when they should shut up and enjoy looking good in swimwear. You would.
The assumption that you’re stupid
Could be easily dispelled. When conversation’s opened, simply discourse on quantum mechanics or the origins of the Germanic languages. Except you don’t know anything about them, do you? Because you never bothered to learn anything because you’re hot, but you resent everyone rightly assuming that.
Having friends of the opposite sex is difficult
It’s no different if you’re ugly. The friendzone is so rammed it’s a miracle men don’t suffocate, and at a highly conservative estimate four in five men would be up for it with their female friends. And the attractive don’t complain about everyone being in love with them when they need help moving house.
Being oblivious to your flaws
The stunning tell long, boring anecdotes which nobody cuts short because they’re gazing enraptured, get free drinks everywhere and only ever receive positive feedback. Sounds great. You’d love the freedom to tell 20-minute stories about painting Warhammer figures or unblocking the drainage pipe of your washing machine.
