disadvantages:
1. people think you have it all.
2. people esp your 'friends' are either envious of you openly and like to see you hurt, secretly wish you bad but pretend or adore you a lot. there are usually no middle grounds
3. people you want to be your friends always want to be something more
4. all your achievements is always attributed to your beauty and as such you need to work harder than an average person to prove your worth
5. people have instant hatred for you.


advantages:
1. people like to help you easily especially when you are very polite and have a winning smile
2. people like you easily especially teachers, students, children etc and you are easily trusted in some areas expect issues of the heart.
3. you make friends easily and you have to work extra hard to keep them
4. after you have proven your worth, people appreciate your accomplishments a lot.
5. you are quickly chosen for leadership positions that doesn't have to do by merit.

ArQueBusieR: Seeing as people tend to prescind from the downside of being good-looking, I'll make an effort to enumerate or accentuate some ubiquitous disadvantages:

-People expect you to be less talented. Especially in academics.

-You're perceived - by myopic people - as a player.

-You're surrounded by fake people.

-You can't stay covert for long periods, as you're easily recognizable.

-When you give people an inch, they try to take a yard.

-You may cause someone's death or embarrassment. Just ask me how. grin

-You somehow find yourself in the cross-hair of psychos.

-Your self-esteem soars to unhealthy levels.

Add more disadvantages, please.

Who's beautiful and who's not? This question has no answer, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, am a cute guy and I know that, and I always get compliment about it everywhere I go but at the same time some people thinks its because am fair in complexion that's why I get all the attention, therefore they don't see me that attractive

My mum always see rita dominic as a cute girl but 2 me that gal is not in anyway pretty

The girl that won miss unical many years back stole the show because of her natural cat eye but I (not only me) hate cat eyes with passion, it irritates me a lot,

So as you can see what you view as beauty may be otherwise to another, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder for real

Beside this onila of a girl and other beauty self acclaimed peeps here should post there pics let's judge

Tolaaaaannni:
You know what they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, what might be goodlooking to someone might be ugly to another. It is more safe not to get gassed about your looks because you don't know what others might think about it. One person might call you "Fine boy" but to another you are just repulsive to look at. undecided

To use repulsive is a big jump. I didnt say one person i said many people.
Not being able to call yourself a fine person after you've been called the same by many because you fear someone might find you repulsive..just doesn't cut it.

E.g People magazine named Beyonce..Most Beautiful woman in 2012..yh and you might not agree with that but you wouldn't say she's 1. Repulsive 2. Ugly 3.'Not good looking' and so on!,

Disadvantages of being good looking: Expectatiopns, Expectations, Expectations. People expect you'd talk and act in certain ways. You either meet up or your [i]goodlookingness [/i]falls flat on its feet in a second.
Imagine an extremely pretty chic in a croaky voice speaking witha very broken Accent.
Or a good looking guy stuttering in speech and with a body odour.
Now, with average looking person, we assume that comes with the territory hence it would not matter much, but with a good looking person, the pseudo definition sticks faster.

pendo89:

Onila,

a beautiful heart + a beautiful look = More friends.

Are you saying that you have less friends cz you are beautiful? I don't want to believe that.


This your equation, e get as e be! Whoever said having more friends is a function of having a good heart or looking more beautiful! Check out Merillyn Monroe, with a good heart (for those close to her) and a beautiful screen icon yet she had few friends and more haters!

Leadership theory believes in great man theory which state that leaders with good looking tends to perform well than leaders that are not born with personality trait.it propound that leaders are born with good looking not made.

Dimples 316: Ok I hear you, and am glad to see you didn't take this wrong the way. I was almost afraid your come back/response would be really harsh & insultive.

I don't think or believe that you were once ugly and then turned beautiful. You probably have always been beautiful but didn't realise it for yourself till now. You know; that ugly duckling turns into a swan story is just a fairy tale. But am not in your shoe so I can't say.

Listen everyone has a good & bad side to them, and we have to be willing to accept both sides of people. Easier said than done, I know but we can try. Well I would like to know this fine chic with few friends in the hopes that we can build a sincere friendship if you have no objections. Pls this is not a lesbian thing ooo, am really into guys cheesy

I lov u already, so knowledgable.
Re: The Disadvantages Of Being Good-Looking by pendo89(f): 9:53am On Aug 06, 2012
@ dimples,i like the way u express your thoughts.mature and kind

omosexy1:

Very matured comment. Must be from experience.

Lemmie just say this,

There's what we call vanity.
If you want to enjoy life,live peacefully and long,pay less attention to vanity.Let them be 'added benefit/advantages'working in ur favour.
Concentrate more on building ur inner self, cz that will last a lifetime after age/accidents have taken a toll on your beauty.
People spend more than half their time and money trying to improve the outer person only to discover that you can never beat nature! Anything can happen.
But those who spend time working on the inner man/personality never lose value. Nature doesn't erode their personality.They are attractive because they give us strength to carry on when all fails.

Using Onila as an eg.She needs not to feel discouraged cz people are jealous of her beauty. Ever tried doing good to an enemy? It confuses them.
A smile,a kind warm word,a compliment for others too and ul turn ur enemies into friends.Not necessary anyway.
If anybody is jealous of ur beauty alone, it simply shows how vain and shortsighted they are.If u notice and react to that jealousy, you are also vain and worse.

Is there any disadvantage of being beautiful?
Yes if 'everyone' else in ur environment is 'ugly'so they keep hating on u.
Yes if all they are interested in is your outward beauty.You will only be useful as long as ur beauty lasts.


There's is nothing more beautiful than having a clean heart,sober head,good health and a positive attitude.
Re: The Disadvantages Of Being Good-Looking by Nobody: 9:56am On Aug 06, 2012
Being very beautiful is just like Chess.
.
PAWN
.
You have to be as humble and protective as the Pawns- so that the beauty won't get into your head. Having a 'brain' merged with an equally beautiful body is a '+' to your personality. People hardly take beautiful people without a 'brain' seriously.

.
CASTLE
.
You have to be as straight forward as the castle-
the castle move
in a straight forward motion, the castle kills any opponent in front of it.
In your own case, setting your goals and archieving it,living a holy life, making good friends, clinging very tight to God, living a life worthy of emulation and dressing in a decent manner- are the only way you can be sure of moving in the right(straight) direction.
.
KNIGHT
.
The knight moves in an 'L' shape momentum.
You must make sure not to be like the knight. Living a double life, lying, cheating and womanizing/aristorizing are some of the symptoms of an 'L' shape movement. We call that movement in Nigeria- "mago mago way",
or
''your way no pure"..
But copy the knight only in this- always aim for the king.
.
BISHOP
.
The Bishop moves in a diagonal way.the bishop always looks for ways to start an attack and complete it.
Aim for your goals, don't let guys/babes deter you or distract you(because they'll surely come).
Always be shrewd at all times.
.
QUEEN
.
The queen can go anywhere.
The strongest and 'i can go anywhere' queen.

Never you try to be like the queen, it's proud, insultive, annoying, always finding ways to trap the king.,killing everybody. Hehe lolz
.but try and copy the queen in this- she's very caring/friendly and protective of her husband and friends.
.
KING
.
The king is graceful and powerful.,he's quiet and speaks/acts when necessary, he's caring and understanding- always staying close to the queen. He's full of wisdom.

Always
Emulate him in your everyday activites.
.

Hmmm, how i wish im very handsome maybe i will experience these advantages.
Re: The Disadvantages Of Being Good-Looking by Chanchit: 10:00am On Aug 06, 2012
Its good to look good, but i jst hate it when someone say "I'm beautiful, or I'm handsome" dts for people to say and nt you, people do tell me to my face, it jst makes me feel uneasy, i always act as if i don't knw how i look, cos many peeps that concentrate on their goodlooks ends up useless at the end of the day, cos of their Ego..
Nb: if i should rate myself i'ld give myself 45/100 i fink thats a pass, but people see diffrently, dts y you can't be d judge for ur self, someone might rate you 80%, while u get ur 20% frm someone else, BTW i don't look @ beauty, i look for d IQ...
