Would your life be very different if you were extremely attractive?

I was flicking through a magazine and looking at all the gorgeous, genetically-gifted models and actresses. Think Gisele Bundchen or Charlize Theron type of attractiveness. That got me wondering if my life would have been very different if I was so incredibly beautiful.

Would people treat me very differently? Would that have impacted my personality development while growing up? Would I only hang out with similarly super attractive people?

Is there anyone on msn with such amazing genes that can share their experience of going through life looking like a Goddess? Grin

Interesting post. I have a couple of friends that are stunning and both could pull in an empty room but both have really struggled with relationships because they have always attracted the wrong sorts, mainly men only interested for their looks.

I'm not a goddess, but I am attractive apparently.
Honestly, it's not that great. People assume you're a bitch, they make sarcastic comments about you, I've been accused of "fucking my way to the top" in my career because obviously an attractive woman can't have a brain too.

It's a bit like the fat vs skinny thing. It's ok to say negative things to skinny people because they're skinny, and it seems to be the same if you're attractive.

I've been told I'm attractive. I'm not sure if I am. However I was bullied in one job and another colleague told me the bully was jealous of my looks.
My mate who is really good looking has had loads of jealously and others being nasty to her for no reason!!

Like Notumbongo I was accused of shagging pretty much everyone I ever worked for by other colleagues, and likeBahhhumbug says I do attract men who like arm candy and are actually arseholes. I used to model, and my self esteem is actually shit. I’ve got fat and old now, it feels safer somehow. I used to have panic attacks about going out in London as people would state and I felt utterly paranoid. I promise it’s not stealth boast or anything - I am ordinary looking now and grateful for it!

I presume so...

My life isn't that great but i love it the way it is on the whole. I've experienced a little bit of street harassment but i once walked through an italian city with a radiant Norwegian blonde and by the time i'd walked half a mile with her i just felt sorry for her - she could barely finish a sentence without some arsehole begging for her number or whistling at her. Resembling the back of a bus doesn't protect you from sexual aggression but it definitely reduces the volume.
