What are the advantages of being ugly?

[nicole97]

Hi! I a newbie here. Anyhow, have some prickly questions which bother me pretty much...Hope to get some help and advice. So, here is the first. Are there any advantages of being ugly? If so, let me know.
Thanks!

I think you've posted this in the wrong section

Oh! Hi, PaperdollCartoon! I have said I am a newbie here. What section my post should be in? Thanks!

Very odd first post. Do you consider yourself ugly or are you hoping some of us will admit to being/looking ugly and tell you what the advantages are?

Addicts.

Can I ask why you're asking OP? You don't think this little of yourself do you?

Dear CeeBeeBee! I am sorry. It is evident, I posted my message in a wrong place. As for being ugly, I do not, and nobody else considers me ugly. Neither I estimate someone ugly. I just had a talk with a mom recently and she said that to be ugly is profitable very often. Is it so? I need some facts as a proof.

I have been asking myself, but could not discover any. So, I ask those who are older and more experienced. I think it is normal. Although, in a wrong section of the chat.

How odd.

My definition of 'ugly' is the way someone acts, their personality. The people who are bullies, the nasty people in this world are the ugly ones and there's no advantage of that!

Well, this is making perfect sense.

I agree, there are no advantages in ugly behavior but I just meant the external ugliness of a person. Say, any physical damage or congenital disproportion. Or asymmetry. Whatever. How may it be profitable? To star in the horror movies? Or in other exotic performances? I can not even suggest.

Is this research for an essay or something?

Well as someone who was a very ugly duckling and then blossomed when I got older and am now average; I did not see any advantages to being ugly. The name calling from kids and adults, being treated as 'lesser is not fun to say the least.

In my experience too people treat you better if you're attractive. Not just men either. I can't remember who said it and I'm paraphrasing here, but 'Beautiful people think the world is a lot nicer than it is rings very true to me

On the whole, I think being moderately attractive is the best. Less creepy men trying to chat you up!

Could you expand on what your friend means OP? It sounds bizarre to me

No, not for an essay. Or whatever else. I just want to clear up with this issue. Once and forever. To have arguments if a talk touches this subject. What advantages? I wanted to hear: one, two, three, four ....That is all.

Define 'ugly'.

do you expect talk to touch this subject?
I don't think I've ever had a conversation about this

To star in the movies or other exotic performances. Are you for real?

Could you not have asked the 'mom'?

To define 'ugly' may take time. I have to concentrate to give the most precise definition. As to my own point of view.

Much, much easier to ask the person who said it to you, no?

No, don't put yourself out.

I have asked my mom already. She has answered that the guys will not chase a girl if she is not sufficiently attractive. Or even ugly. And that pushed me to ponder on her words.
As for me, I have never called or considered someone "ugly". Although I have met pretty many people who were aesthetically unattractive. But it did not bother me at all, they were just normal, benevolent people. In no way, I could say they were ugly. Just looking a bit strange and different.
