I’m one of 4 (3 girls, 1 boy.)

My sisters are very pretty, naturally slim whereas I’ve had to battle my weight all my life, My face is also more plain compared to theirs,

I am 3 years older than my sis and 5 years older than my bro. Me and sis are frequently mistaken for twins and my baby gets confused sometimes when we're together. I am definitely the brains and my sis is the more photogenic. My bro likes to think he has the looks, humour and brains and is treated as such by our parents 😅

Yes. My sibling are all utter trolls and I am a beautiful flower.

I'm better looking and more intelligent and richer but my brother is a lot more simple and seems to be one of those people who are just happy with their lot. He's nicer than me for sure. I have issues which I put down to childhood but I'm a very happy and lucky person these daysSmile

Difficult to say as I'm the only girl with 2 brothers. One is good looking but a horrid person. The other is good looking and very loving but hot headed.

Dh is much better looking and kinder than his selfish brother. His brother is very well off and a horrible person. I defiantly got the better brother.... poor sil, she can console herself with her ugly designer handbags Grin

No my sister was always prettier but she nine years old and that’s paying off for me now. Sorry sis! Grin

Growing up, my sister was the pretty one: slimmer on average, with nice, straight hair, better skin, a sense of style and much more knowledge of how to apply make-up well. Taking 2 hours to get ready in the morning definitely paid off for her.

I was the ugly duckling with frizzy hair, bad skin and no dress sense whatsoever. I was also unfortunate enough to have got spectacles AND braces at the same time. My teenage years were horrible and my immediate family constantly reminded me of how pretty my sister was compared to me, to the point where calling me fat and ugly in various disguises became a sport.

While my sister went out to socialise, I stayed in and concentrated on school work and my future career.

She was more successful than me until I moved out and went to university. Even though I had a few mighty fuck-ups in my life, things started to improve rapidly from then on.

Now she is very overweight, unhappy with her life (which shows in her face), has somehow lost all sense of how to use make-up to her advantage (caterpillar eyebrows, anyone?) and dresses practically rather than for beauty. Her heavy smoking habits show.

I, on the other hand, have blossomed. I'm far from perfect, but everything from my hair to my face has improved mightily with age, the braces have paid off, contacts are a life-saver and I have found some clothes to suit my frame. I'm the pretty one now.

My sister's quite categorically stated when we were teenagers that I'm the ugly one. Always see myself as an ugger and will never change my mind about that. I look at myself in the mirror and say "well, you'll never be pretty..."

All my sisters are gorgeous! And I love them dearly. I think I’m not all that bad either - we range from 5”3 to 5”10 and from a size 6-8 to a 10. We all look fairly in proportion and all have long ish hair (below bust) ranging in colour from Jennifer Anniston type dark blonde to black. Although one sister has beautiful bum length hair.
Our faces are pretty similar but one sister has beautiful wide eyes, and another has bright blue eyes that contrast to the others dark brown!
We are all fab!

Absolutely. My DB looks and smells like a Sasquatch that hasn't bathed in months....mind you, he would say the same about me. Grin

Absolutely not.

While I have a very slightly higher IQ, (ten points or so), they are both much better packages than I am!

Both more athletic, thinner, prettier, more successful academically and career wise, both earn more than me and travel loads. They’re also both totally selfless and loving and very, very generous to the point where they will put themselves out hugely for others.

However, both have had issues with mental health and eating disorders, and both put themselves under a huge amount of pressure on a daily basis to be as perfect as they are.

I think I’m more contented, despite being fatter, uglier and less successful career wise. I also have a child and neither of them is in a place where that’s an option yet, although I know they will both make fantastic mothers when the time comes.

I’m so lucky to have both my sisters and to get on with them as well as I do.

My sister is beautiful, extremely intelligent, good at everything to a ridiculous level and very rich with a stunning home. I don't measure up in any way but weirdly I often think I am happier than her and I also like being me so no complaints really.

Me and my DBro don't even look like brother and sister, we have absolutely nothing in common. However our children are so similar it's scary!

I am always mistaken for his younger sister, I'm the eldest, much to his annoyance.

I've no idea who's the better looking, growing up this was of no importance and looks etc just never featured. Maybe the fact we have a farming background has a lot to do with that.

I have 3 brothers and all are very handsome - all fancied by my mates growing up, which was just great.

I got the short straw when it came to looks and weight - all of them can eat what they want and still remain slim! Envy

I am DEFINITELY the most intelligent of them though. Wink

I am the better looking sister although everyone thought it would be my sister as she was a gorgeous child. Blonde and blue eyed where as I'm dark hair with green eyes.

I think being attractive has given me more opportunities in life also.

I have a daughter who is a beauty too as her father was very good looking and she is the image of him. Not a bit like me at all!

I didn't realise I was above average looking until I was in my 20s. I look like my father and my mother couldn't compliment me as it was a sort of compliment to my absent and arsehole father (lots of issues there). Always was told how gorgeous my brother was because of his olive skin. I was the polar opposite - fair, blue-eyed, blonde. He's grown into a very handsome man, and now know I look younger than my years and I get told I'm good looking too (by others). I look back at old photos of myself and think I look good when at the time I thought I looked ugly.

Very hard to say. 2 sisters and I would say we are all pretty in completely different ways.
