Do you think beautiful or handsome people have it all in life?

No, they don't.

Some, in fact, have to struggle to reach levels of acceptance some of us take for granted. Many people place false assumptions on the "beautiful people" that their lives are somehow made easier because of their looks. While they may receive more attention, it doesn't necessarily make their lives easier.

How do I know?

Well, I worked with a woman I'd deem one of the "beautiful people" and I would see, first-hand, guys practically walking into light poles or into traffic when we'd go to lunch. After a while, she just became "one of the guys" as I got to know her more and more. But, I could tell she wasn't always comfortable with the attention even though she would sometimes use it to her advantage.

If I was single the thing I'd ask is, "what would it take for a lady like you to even bother to talk to me?"

If you're in the right place at the right time, she'd answer: Drive around the corner stud and get out that hundred, it'll buy you 10 mins.

Edit: oh yeah, if you're at the wrong place, just act like an idiot, run up and give her a big hug and kiss. She'll talk to you alright. She'll either say WOW! MORE BABY! or YOU FSKING BASSBOWL! WATAFSK BLAHBLAHBLAH! But at least she'll be talking to you.

No, but its one of the major things, and clearly a big advantage.

classic example Paul Newman was NEVER taken seriously early in his career because he was just "too pretty". a prettier version of Marlon Brando.

it really hurt his career that way.
 
I sometimes think the same way. Frequently it's a silly assumption, based more on marketing than anything else. Commercials frequently emphasize how happiness correlates with whiter teeth, less fat, or larger breasts.
 
I agree with the people who say it's an advantage, but not everything. I have enough self-confidence with regard to my looks and personality that I don't worry about it.
 
bah, all you people need is confidence. you want a woman? Just ask for gods sake...you lose nothing by doing so.
 
We hot pieces of ass don't have everything. We are often misunderstood and lonely, because everyone thinks as you.

*Only kidding about the "hot pieces of ass" part, as in I am one of them
 
"Do you think beautiful or handsome people have it all in life?"


I can tell you from first hand experiance that its just not true, as handsome as I am you would figure that women would be beating down my door, bankers handing me money for just being in my presence, but alas my repulsive personality seems to trump my movie-star like appearance.

I am not trying to brag, but I am above average looking. A bit on the boyish side, but women love that anyway. I do have a lot in life: a great wife, new child, enough money, some toys, and most importantly happiness. However, I have had to work my ass off for what I have and I think people who have average looks can have a good life if they work a little harder for it. I think when you work for something, you appreciate it more and get more out of life anyway. I know some very average looking people whom I look up to because of their success in life.

Nope.

But sometimes, I think really really rich people do. I know that isn't true, but they must be better of than I am...

I think I would put money over beauty in the "having everything" ranking. I know money doesn't buy happiness, but if I am going to be depressed anyway, I might as well be rich and depressed.

If I had to be beautiful though, I would want to just be beautiful enough to be stricking, but not overwelming...there are just so many possibilities then....
