MARK - "Sure. Tell me more. I'm trying to get a little insight into you."
JENNIFER - "Well you already know a lot about me. You know I'm good looking because... well... here I am. You know I'm successful because you've seen my apartment and the clothes I'm wearing. And you know I'm happy because I'm smiling.
(Phone rings) It's my mother, this won't take long. Probably checking in on our date.
Hello? Yes, I'm with him right now. No, not very attractive. No, doesn't make much money. He's all right though. Seems nice. Kind of funny. A bit fat. Funny little snub nose. No, I won't be sleeping with him tonight. Nope, probably not even a kiss. Okay, you too. Bye.
.... Sorry about that."

Direct Headline: 7 surprising downsides of being beautiful
Shana Lebowitz September 22, 2015
At first glance, it might seem as though pretty people have it easy...After all, studies show they generally earn more than their less attractive peers; they can treat people unfairly and get away with it; and they're even more appealing candidates for microfinance loans...But a growing body of research suggests that being beautiful can sometimes work to your detriment...For example, one study found that being attractive hurts your chances of getting a job when the person evaluating you is the same sex. Another study found that attractive people are perceived as less talented writers than average-looking people by members of the same sex. That's possibly because we perceive attractive individuals of the same sex as a threat.
Here's what frustrates people about being beautiful:
1. There's a fine line between acknowledging your beauty and being conceited - "The danger of becoming vain. I know I'm pretty, but even typing that feels icky, like it's a bad thing to admit that I know I'm good-looking."
2. It's worrisome when your appearance changes as you get older - "For a woman, looks fade. I'm in fashion and many models go a bit nuts when they get older and the phone stops ringing. If you're used to not being a knockout, aging won't be as difficult (the looks sense anyway)."
3. You may give off the false impression of always being happy - "People assuming that you are never shy, insecure, lonely, or heartbroken."
4. People often believe you're less intelligent than your average-looking peers - "The general thinking seems to be that the more attractive you are, the stupider you are, as attractive people tend to coast through life more. This makes it pretty difficult to be taken seriously sometimes."
5. It's harder to convince people that you're nice - "People have a hard time believing that somebody can be attractive AND friendly. I think people assume that I'm confident because of the way I look when in reality, I know I'm a good person and relatively fun to be around."
6. No one takes your body-image issues seriously - "It is awkward to talk about your problems with weight loss or self image, especially if you brush my own concerns for my body aside with lines like 'yeah right.'''
7. You don't get a lot of pity for your problems - "I guess people would sometimes trivialize events in your life because you're attractive. For instance, if there was a death in your family or you were fired from your job, people might not feel as sympathetic because 'at least you're attractive.'"

.....At the most superficial level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo around it; we see that someone has one good attribute, and by association, our subconscious assumes that they have been blessed in other departments too. “It’s one of many status characteristics that we can identify very early in our interactions...”....To psychologists, this is called the “what is beautiful is good” heuristic...In education, for instance, .... found a wealth of research showing that better looking students, at school and university, tend to be judged by teachers as being more competent and intelligent – and that was reflected in the grades they gave them....
....What’s more, the bubble’s influence inflates over the years. “There’s a cumulative effect.....You become more confident and have more positive beliefs and more opportunities to demonstrate your competence.”...In the workplace, your face really can be your fortune. When everything else is considered, more attractive people tend to earn more money and climb higher on the corporate ladder than people who are considered less pleasing on the eye. One study of MBA graduates found that there was about a 10 to 15% difference in earnings between the most and least attractive people in the group – which added up to about $230,000 (£150,000) over a lifetime.....Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive defendants are likely to get more lenient sentences, or to escape conviction entirely; attractive plaintiffs, meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements.....
.... And as you might expect, good-looking people of both genders run into jealousy – one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to recruit you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.....We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people....but still making interaction more distant. “Attractiveness can convey more power over visible space – but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person....”

VIDEO: Life as an Ugly Woman Mar 12, 2019
I wanted to explain what life is like for a woman who is objectively ugly in the eyes of the world. So far, I have only seen videos of this nature from people who are not ugly. Hopefully this will be a source for other ugly women to find solace in, and for people who are not ugly to understand what we go through.

four deliveries later including two with no pain medication, I’m happy to say I was correct.
