Is it amazing to be really attractive? (like supermodel attractive)

I get this question a lot. Honestly I didn’t know I was considered “attractive” until high school. I attended a school in a small town and I was very shy. I was also kind of “sheltered” growing up too. So I really didn’t date much, but people (of all ages) would tell me I was beautiful often through my childhood into my teens. Some people told me I was the most beautiful girl they had ever seen😅 (guys and girls). I didn’t really think much of the compliments at the time.

Then came college. In college I had a lot of friends and a lot of them were guys. I believed my guy friends (with the exception of a few) were no different than my female friends and that they liked being around me in a friendly way. I was naive. Later on I found out that most of them were hanging around because they wanted a date.

Basically most every straight guy I have befriended in my life has either asked me out or confessed attraction at some point.

So it was (I would say) validated that I am physically attractive according to the majority of people.

So to sum it up, here are my experiences about being pretty/very attractive as a female:

•You must question people’s motives to build solid friendships.

You have to be careful of people’s motives as to why they would befriend you. Some people wanted to befriend me because I was pretty (for that reason only) and it made it harder to sift through and find people who cared about me as a whole.

•Prepare to be the center of attention at times

I think some other people have mentioned this in their answers, but people stare at you in public places. People’s heads may turn to focus in on looking at you. It can be uncomfortable to catch people’s glances, but you get used to it after a while.

People may also gossip about you frequently. I am the kind of person that (for the most part) does what I want without caring about other's opinions anyway… so I was gossiped about a lot in high school and work places. I quickly got used to it.

•Watch out for creepers

You also have to watch out for creepy people. Some strangers and even coworkers have randomly said some creepy/perverted things to me. (However I imagine everyone experiences this at some point.)

•Acquaintances & strangers are nice

On a positive note, strangers/acquaintances are typically quite kind (especially males and lesbian/bi women). But shouldn’t strangers/acquaintances be nice to everyone?😅🤷🏼‍♀️

•Female friends may be hard to find

Some girls find me intimidating whereas some act out of jealousy.

Most females that I do end up befriending tell me that they didn’t expect me to be so “down to earth”. Some of my female friends straight up told me I was intimidating at first sight.

•Easily hired

Another positive is that it isn’t hard to stand out in an interview. (There were times I have been hired over interviewees that I felt were more qualified. Did I feel good about that? No.)

Summary

So contrary to popular belief, being “physically attractive” isn’t really all that. There are a few perks, but there is so much more to life beyond your appearance… like having a dedicated group of friends you can depend on, having an SO that loves you for who you are inside and out, pursuing your dreams/aspirations, etc. Being “physically attractive” alone doesn’t exactly equate to a fulfilling life. You are the one ultimately in control of finding fulfillment in life and genes have nothing to do with that.
