I'm beautiful and it's terrible

[ToesandToads]

It's not really is it?

I've seen a few women commenting that being beautiful is to be harassed and abused so it's rubbish to be beautiful.

That's not my experience.

I have never been harassed.

I've never been bothered at all.

I don't get followed. Touched.

I'm not saying that men are delightful. They're not. But they don't bother me.

And never have.

I am beautiful though.

@CookPassBabtridge You're not allowed have the confidence to admit You're a beautiful woman, tall and a size 12.

The jealous pp's will implode.

It's not about that. It's not about people being beautiful or attractive. It's not showing off to acknowledge it either, people have always told me I'm pretty, I feel pretty, that's by the by.

The point is the OP is incredibly misogynistic. Not because she's proud of being a beautiful woman. That's not misogynistic. The misogyny comes in when the OP feels the need to chastise and denigrate other women who have correlated their appeal to men with their harassment by men.

I struggle to believe there is any woman who has gone through girlhood and not been harassed by men. My attention was drawn to boys finding me attractive at around 8 years old, and by men from 10 years old.

It's incredibly arrogant and self centred to take your own experience of life and extrapolate that to the world around you, even when there is so much glaring evidence right in front of you that women as a demographic are harrassed abused and pursued by men with sexual motivation on a day to day basis.

But let's be real why is anyone engaging with this thread when it's so obviously a troll. It's incel dogma 101 that women "aren't oppressed" and need to stop pretending life is hard for them when being pretty and having a golden pussy pass makes them the most privileged people in the world 🙄

Get a grip!

And yet about half an hour before starting this thread OP, you posted in another thread -

Matey, I'm very angular. I often get told I look like a man.

Fuck 'em.

I'm beautiful.

I really love myself. I've never been pretty.

I'm interesting looking.

That's good you know. It's brilliant to look interesting.

Hmm…

@EmeraldShamrock1
Splat

Hmm indeed.

As I said. I know the posts she's clearly based her thread on (on a thread about appearance). It's a bit off to do that, in my opinion.

😂 Brilliant thread. Thanks for the giggles @ToesandToads

Is that you again Samantha Brick?
Haven't heard from you in a while!

Good for you I guess.

There's been a bit of an update. No surprise

Ok hun, you keep loving yourself <3 <3 xxx

Well yes @Smashingpumpkins2022
Loving yourself Is a good thing. Accepting yourself if you can’t manage love.
Nobody gets through life unscathed you know.
It’s ok that beautiful woman know and accept that they are beautiful. If that offends you in some way, then who is the one with the issue?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think it's symmetry that draws us.

🙄🙄

I am average looking.

You must be the OP under a different user name 🙄

Well, that's all very odd.

Ah that is odd. I guess person, male or female, who is not comfortable with their appearance. I was going to post about how I'm not modelesque at all, not tall or with lovely strong bone structure, but pretty and curvy and attract men. I did get an inkling that the OP was insecure about the "type" of attractive they are so didn't post that.

OP if you are in any way genuine, just own your look. If you're tall and strong looking that doesn't mean you aren't feminine. It's misogynistic world we live in which causes men to focus negative intentions on women who look young or feminine and judge them to be weak and for the taking. Please don't judge your beauty or wider beauty standards on whether men are willing to try and intimidate your or not!!

And neither do all women dislike you or are jealous

my friend is so beautiful everyone likes her because she is such a lovely person

For someone who thinks the OP is ‘attention seeking’, you’re sure giving her heaps of attention.

More like Carly Simon.

I think this self love come across as shallow whether it is a woman or a man. Some of my DD's friends at 11 are in to this- I love my eyebrows, I love my hair, I mean it seems to scream insecurities rather than someone exuding confidence. I did think scientifically there is research on this and it is about symmetry.

Why were my comments deleted and people are allowed to be rude to me and their comments are allowed to remain?!😡

Perhaps you are beautiful OP or perhaps you aren’t (as you said yourself, beauty is in the eye of the beholder).

TBH, what works for the fashion industry (e.g. tall, skinny and spiky) isn’t always particularly attractive to men, so that could be why you have got off lightly in terms of sexual harassment and men being horrible to you. I certainly haven’t and neither have a lot of Mnetters judging by the quite worrying thread about inappropriate behaviour. I think count yourself lucky rather than telling us that NAMALT.
