OK..
Noone thinks you are doing anything wrong is you bully at bitch about talented pretty people.
Your incompetence can go unnoticed.
People don't get triggered by you and instinctively resist everything you say
If you wear nice clothes people don't think you are deliberately trying to belittle them
People listen to you, even if you are talking bollocks, as when pretty people talk they are often just watched.
If you are a cunt, people defend you as they understand 'how difficult it must be for you'
Your views aren't artificially understood, so you are more challenged and more robust (a friend of mine was shocked and very upset when her first male disagreed with her at age 22!!)
You can be sexy when you feel sexy, and not when you don't.. Pretty people are often mistaken for feeling sexy when they totally don't.
You look 'normal' so fewer people go 'i don't know, they might be a liability'
Office bitches don't try to control and block your friendships and other interactions.
You can be a cunt, especially to pretty peiple and if anyone attacks you for looks or say lumpen clumsiness you can get upset and everyone will jump in on your side to show how 'geniune' they are (ie to hide their own private thoughts about you being unattractive)
You are more likely to keep your advantages than lose them
You are allowed to have more than one advantage
You are believed when you are qualified.
You are believed if times are hard
You are believed if you have a surprising skill or experience other than just being pretty.
People believe you when you tell them your house isn't perfect..
You feel comfortable and can trust a wider set of people. Good looking people are often extremely wary of norms, as they are so often either out to get them, or only hanging around for the attention you get.
You won't be punched for no reason
Teachers won't agree you 'brought it on yourself' because they also think you are 'deliberately', pretty
People won't say 'she loves herself' but not in a nice way
People won't say 'oh she sooooo knows it' in a crappie Justin beiber/Ed sheeran bullying anthem
People won't try and make you wear things that fit what magazines do with someone who looks like you.

Oh, scaryclown! It is so nice of you! A pile of wisdom! Where have you taken it from? Your own experience or read somewhere?

Dear JaneJeffer! Thanks for a reference. I have checked the dictionary first of all. And really got surprised by a number of synonyms. Right now I got interested whether there are so many synonyms for the word "nice"? I will be very surprised if not. Ugliness and beauty are two sides of one thing. As always, the truth is somewhere between them.

'Pretty is temporary, stupid is forever.'

I'm sure somebody important must have said this before me, but this is my mantra for life. I'd FAR rather my children enjoyed learning and were able to hold their own.

Well, thanks to all who responded my post. I do appreciate that. I beg a pardon if I touched someone's feelings uncautiously. The topic was a bit delicate to judge and discuss. Although I have got three ideas. Even four. First, in most cases, "ugly" is not a look of a person but his deeds and behavior. Second, ugliness and beauty are very relative definitions. Sometimes they turn into each other very quickly. Third, the average is the best. Finally, fourth, there are no any significant advantages in being ugly. Be that externally or internally. Beauty had much more of them.
I am grateful to everybody who contributed this talk. Be happy and healthy! Thanks a lot! If someone wants to continue, I will be here tomorrow.
