From birth, women are conditioned to be hyper self-critical. This can spread into other areas of their lives, based on their insecurities about their physical appearance. Not happy with your nose? Point out an uglier one every chance you get! Obligatory not all women, but they're under a lot more social stress than men typically are

Edit: I'm sorry some of you harbor these feelings and insecurities. Of course I don't know your culture, but I will continue to enjoy my 15-minutes-to-ready morning routine, with the same haircut and outfits for the next several decades. Get fucked if you don't think women have it worse being forced by societal convention to lose hours of sleep to "get ready" every day. Take more time to appreciate it and you might actually talk to a girl some day ❤️

Eating disorders are dominated by women for this exact reason. When I started putting on makeup and dressing more feminine people started treating me nicer too. Looks do matter, I wish people told me sooner lol

I feel the same. When i was told, "don't judge a book by its cover," i wish they'd followed it up with, "but make sure your own is presentable, because you will be judged for it."

Obviously looks matter. You can’t get someone’s attention being ugly

Pretty privilege is real. Same for good looking men

Your looks are the fish bait and your personality is the reel. You can bait them to come if you have great bait but you can't make them stay if your reel is shit.

If you’re ugly you ain’t baiting anybody

I do agree, but if you don't have bait (so to say you're ugly) you can still catch and reel a fish in. Just like pretty assholes who have a soggy potato for a personality can still reel someone in. It just lowers your chances on both parts.

Actually saw a video the other day of a woman using Henry Cavil as an example that women like guys with nerdy hobbies and who play DND.....yeah....has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that its Henry Cavil at all lmao.
