to want to be seen as more than just good looking?

[HumpbertEngeldinck]

Typical conversation with my friends: Sarah is really smart, Kate is a great mum, Nina is an extraordinary cook, Emma is absolutely hilarious and Humpbert is gorgeous!

This happens a lot amongst different groups of friends and although it's one of the nicer problems to have, I sometimes feel a bit glum about it.

I'd prefer to be seen by friends as someone who is smart or funny rather than just someone who was lucky enough to have been born with above average levels of beauty. It's not like it's something that I really have much control over, it's just luck of the draw! Plus it's something that over time will fade and is irrelevant in any case.

Ms Brick?

How would you describe yourself? What are the qualities you would like to be known for?

Sounds like you havent spent much time developing a personality. Get on it.

Samantha?

I know the feeling. Why doesn't anyone look beneath my glossy hair and flawless complexion and embrace the intellectual within? WHY MUST WE MAKE LOVE ONLY WITH THE BODY?

Is this Megan from Love Island 🤣🤣

I agree, good looks are such a curse!!!!!!

In all sincerity though would you like some for all the I am giving you?

On the plus side if your not the clever or funny one better to be the pretty one as opposed to the ugly one.

Well posting this demonstrates that you are indeed neither particularly smart nor funny.

Maybe you're not smart or funny? Be thankful of those good looks OP

it’s so hard being beautiful, I feel your pain

Oh nooooo

Plug hole difference r.e. Megan is Humpbert didn't purchase her looks...

Are you really really really really good looking?

@User12879923378 love that reply!

Think posters are being harsh. OP is good looking, is she supposed to pretend she doesn’t see it?
I think it’s a reasonable question. I had a friend in my 20’s who was stunning and she was labelled by her looks. I have also thought that people who were gorgeous in their youth have a tougher time aging as they lose that identity people have given them, yet people the ‘funny’ one will always be ‘funny’, or the clever one will always be ‘clever’.
No real advice OP but don’t let people here think you can’t describe yourself as good looking for fear of biscuits :)

n'awww poor you

Hi Samantha

True Lady

Sorry I don’t really see the point of your post.

How old are you? If you're under 40 get ready..... as much as I personally think you can be attractive at any age, society disagrees. Soon you'll be the invisible one.

Gets out the world's smallest violin...

Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.

Make the most of it, you'll soon morph into an older woman who doesn't get much attention.
