Hmmm beauty is in the eye of the beholder but there are many categories of "good-looking"

For a "cute beauty". The advantage is that both males and females are nice to you and automatically assume that you are a gentle pure heart. THe first word they use to describe you is "innocent" or "cute." You receive lots of smiles from people. The disadvantage is that people assume you are naive or sheltered. Guys can become over-protective and women can demean you and make you feel like a child.

For a "sexy beauty" things will be different, girls may be jealous of you and attack you for no reason. They assume that you want to steal their man. And guys may treat you like a slut or want to be with you for the wrong reasons. but overall, there are benefits and advantages too.You may have to mature faster than other girls because of the way you are treated from a young age for the way your body is shaped. You also will get your choice in men (good and bad)

For a "classic beauty," people may not notice you as they should because other girls wear make-up and dress to look like you. So, since so many do things to look like you, you appear to be a dime a dozen. But when all make up is gone, everyone realize you are the real-deal. But it can be frustrating knowing that you have the perfect face shape, people who look like you grace magazine covers and tv commercials, you are a genevieve nnaji carbon copy, yet you don't get the superstar treatment you feel you deserve. But overall, you are treated above average and you recognize that. This type is more likely to contest in pageants or try to work as a model (if she's tall).

For an "exotic beauty" people tell you all the time that you are beautiful but you don't see it. These beauties tend to be foreigners who most time are not even special among their own people but when they arrive in a new place, all of a sudden, you are treated as a beauty and it is a shock. This beauty is more likely to have lower self confidence. Also the guys who swoon over you tend to be a bit insecure or have "fetish" thoughts. so it can be work to separate the weed from the chaff.

for a "graceful beauty" you are maybe average looking but you are bubbly and smile all the time. There is just that glow about you. It's what people call "inner beauty that shows on the outside" It may take a short while for people to see your beauty but they certainly dd see it. Most guys want to be friends because of your personality and then it doesn't take long before they want to be closer. THis type of beauty is best for sustaining a relationship. It is not superficial.

So it depends on what "good-looking" category you belong in. You can add other categories

pendo89:

The only reason why beauty could work to ur disadvantage is if you allow it to replace your brains.
When you start seeing the world through ur beauty,ul realise that it doesn't work because there is always a more beautiful person than you.
The effects don't last long.
But personality is a treasure that helps you conquer the world

ughhh sometimes it can be a curse! cry cry cry cry

Dimples 316: Ok I hear you, and am glad to see you didn't take this the wrong 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


l like ur lines...treading with c-caution.

Seriously, there where times when i feel dat i would be btter off being d ugly one in ma circle of friends and ma relations. Cus d attention is too much for me to handle sometimes, it made me become shy, i cant walk pass a group of guys, females hate me, guys want me and ma sister hate me cus her two exes want me. Guys are scared of approching beautiful babes, and if u are intelligent, dats a big prob, cus dey will feel intimidated by u. Since have got d two Bs (beauty and brains) dats a big prob to me.
