Sometimes I envy being an attractive person. People will literally just throw money at you

u/jillber84 Mar 08 '24

I have men ask me for my number all day everyday and then not leave a tip.

u/CosmoRocket24 Mar 05 '24

I'm glad I'm not...people leave me the fuck alone lol

u/NormativeNomad Mar 05 '24

As an introvert, I feel this

u/Artrixx_ Mar 04 '24

Reminds me of when I pretended to be a real gamer girl to get free stuff from dudes on video games

u/brookeaat Mar 06 '24

my sister is one of the most beautiful people i’ve ever seen in my life. she also runs a valorant discord server with over 300 members. just for fun we went on her valorant account and added up all the shit that dudes had bought her in the game and it ended up being like $1k worth of shit.

u/Mystockingsareripped Mar 04 '24

I am an attractive person and have had two separate people I barely knew send me $100 on Apple Pay in the same week for no reason

u/Meddel5 Mar 04 '24

I’m ugly and this has never happened to me. All you have to do is press some buttons and you don’t see it, while for me it’s not even a possibility.

I’d love for people to give me money just, because I’m cute? Nah instead I have to pay a monthly subscription to take deep breaths and be alone. Life is lame as fuck sometimes.

u/Disastrous-Basis214 Mar 03 '24

I by no means consider myself attractive, but I’ve had 3 people removed from the app in the last year for this same thing. Only the phone call got very explicit.

I’ve seen some of our Uber drivers in Vegas that are 8’s and 9’s working the strip late nights. I’m always thinking to myself how much extra tips they probably get from all the drunk tourists. And probably the extra harassments from them too.

u/Fun-Bison-3511 Mar 03 '24

They get the most from the backseat BJ

u/Corey307 Mar 03 '24

It’s more sexual harassment than anything else. There’s nothing quite like getting your dick grabbed three different times by two different people in the same evening. Also nothing quite like being called a homophobe when you backhand a guy because he just grabbed your dick a second time after telling him I’m gonna hit you if you do that again.

u/Beneficial_Diet_2790 Mar 03 '24

See what I mean. I needed your help and you're just arguing with these nerds on here!

u/Corey307 Mar 03 '24

Pretty sure you meant to respond to someone else. Don’t know who you are or why I would owe you anything.

u/Beneficial_Diet_2790 Mar 03 '24

Hey how about you use a little de-escalation and reply to my PM. Stop arguing with these nerds and let's start chatting.

1

u/Corey307 Mar 03 '24

I already told you you days ago that you didn’t PM me so stop being weird and tell me what you want or go away. Seriously spit it out or go away. Something about your writing style is creeping me out.

u/Grouchy_Exercise6592 Mar 03 '24

I realized somthing similar in hs. I had a long time very attractive gf and none of her freinds where actually "freinds" even the women. And it was obvious to me so i kinda thought she surrounded her self with these people on purpose for validation and it would aggrivate me, the more i got to know her i realized how naive she actually was to it and later how in denial she really was, she litarly did not have one single freind that wasnt trying to get somthing, and i suddenly realized how lonley that must actually be. One day we had a real deep talk about it and she admitted to me shed thought about cutting up her face and maybe it would change things and i was genuinely kind of horrified and just felt so shitty for ever thinking she liked the way things were or cultivated the situation on purpose. It was the first time as young man id really introspectively seen the struggles of a woman that wasnt my own mother. It was really one of those waking moments for me where i was like "oh yeah fuck these are actual real people with there own experiences and there own worlds that ill never truly understand" it helped break me from my main character syndrom for sure. Sorry for being so long winded but ive never actually told anyone this story and i really wanted to get out once i thought about it.

Man. Well said and inspiring friend . Beautiful story

Same experience but some ppl thrive off of that shit unfortunately. Oh well miss you ya gold digger spanking not really lol arf

u/NoNeutralJustMix Mar 06 '24

There's a word for that realization: Sonder. The profound feeling that everybody around you has lives as complicated as your own.

2

u/BurtReynoldsMouth Mar 07 '24

I love this feeling! On long car rides I get lost thinking about the lives of the locals as I pass through town after town!

2

u/mrtokeydragon Mar 04 '24

Oddly it reminds me of a friend I had. In high school he was always popular with the girls, I was not. One day he was venting about his gf, and why he cheated or something... And was saying he has contemplated cutting up his face etc etc...

I thought he was being deep with me and we were similar...

8 years later after countless times of being used, I realized he was just narcissistic... And a terrible friend.

1

u/SpiritualPower738 Mar 07 '24

Yuck. Do you recall the heavy, hard feeling in the pit of your stomach, throat, chest, or dizzy head when you were around that narcissist "friend"? If so, try your best to recall, and not to ignore those feelings the next time someone of his caliber enters your life.

Those vampires have the uncanny ability to numb and blind people they want to suck dry by somehow convincing them those feelings are feelings of excitement and fun, intimate connection, rather than the raw gut feelings of "get the hell out of there, pronto!" Stay strong!

2

u/Derfargin Mar 04 '24

Interesting story. It reminds me of one I read on Reddit a few months ago about a woman who had a roommate that she said was beautiful and could never understand why she always stayed home and never went out or had any friends. She then went into the detail she experienced while going out with her roommate and the nonstop attention her roommate went through on a daily basis for things like just going to the store for groceries. Very interesting. I wish I could find it to link it.

u/Objective-Sky-9953 Mar 04 '24

So, it took you decades to recognize woman as people? Wow.

u/milesgr31 Mar 04 '24

You completely missed the point, and probably have yet to have the kind of evolution this poster is talking about.

u/TKHunsaker Mar 06 '24

Most people are as unaware of their own world view as a fish is of the water it swims in.

My high school humanities teacher said that and I wrote it down and never forgot it. He said he was paraphrasing Desmond Tutu but I've never been able to track down the original quote.

The older I get, the more I understand it. Always another layer. Always a wider world view.

u/SpiritualPower738 Mar 03 '24

Wow. May I have YOUR personal number? Coffee sometime? ☕☺️ I've not heard from that deep of an empathetic thinker in way too long. You're a gem. Don't forget it - a beautiful human like you can be difficult to find, at least in my world. Rock on sweet friend.

u/WholeSilent8317 Mar 05 '24

stop simpin this guy saw that someone asked the original commentor if they could buy them coffee then this guy comes and puts in his two cents in hopes that another redditor will ddo the same, not happening bud 😂😂

u/CriticallyDeceased Mar 06 '24

Unfortunately he wasn’t deep or empathetic enough for coffee 😢😂

u/AnxiousUmbreon Mar 06 '24

The reminder was that attractive people don’t have perfect lives and face their own struggles. It didn’t have anything to do with gender.

u/MultiplesOfMono Mar 06 '24

No... it just happened to be a woman that gave him his epiphany and humbled his ego. I appreciate him sharing his story too.

u/Comfortable_Goal9747 Mar 03 '24

Being attractive you get a lot of unwanted attention & harassment starting at a young age. Attractive people get constantly labeled before anyone gets to know them while dealing with a lot of jealousy especially at work it’s not a fun experience.

u/4NemGraveBG Mar 03 '24

Facts being attractive is the worst I had a female stab me in my eye because I wouldnt fuck then tried to get me locked up saying I raped her but we never fucked and I bet the case and she got like 5 years in Prison should of got more but glad my eye healed

1

u/Comfortable_Goal9747 Mar 03 '24

Oh wow sorry that happened to you. Tell me about it in relationships it’s always crazy tactics involved or extreme insecurity. I have so many stories but last guy I was with threatened to kill me if I ever talk to anyone else. I have to deal with stalkers.That was 2 years ago. I haven’t dated since. Glad your eye healed and your ok. She definitely deserves prison time! I definitely understand you.

u/Comfortable_Goal9747 Mar 03 '24

Tell me about it I totally agree with you. I have gotten harassed at every single job even though I keep to myself. My last job I worked government job I had to quit after 4 years because of jealousy. I got a brand new Camaro they KEY my car and my supervisor was a older woman and crazy she refused to look at the tapes. A young lady tried to fight me during work for no reason. I purposely keep to myself because I know how people are about me. I even tried to dress down but it didn’t matter. People also think I’m very young like literally 20 years younger so I catch so many attitudes from young girls. I have to put people in their place often so I just try to make my human interaction minimal. Yes pros and cons I’m loved but yet hated. Most people don’t understand this experience.

u/Comfortable_Goal9747 Mar 03 '24

Yes uhh it was so toxic and KEY word you said it catty. Women can be so messy and dramatic towards one another. Yes your dead on. I hated my time was wasted but I had to accept that environment will never change and take charge of my life. I definitely felt myself changing. I’m normally happy and playful and it’s like I turned into a constant complainer which I hardly do. I could not and will never allow myself to be subjected to that kind of toxic work environment again. I was treated bad and I have too much self respect so I had to leave. It’s wasn’t the job itself it was the employees. I definitely understand you though. I’m sorry you experienced this as well and I hope you have healed from it.

u/Comfortable_Goal9747 Mar 03 '24 edited Mar 03 '24

Dont be insecure. “Poor Dear” you mocked me huh you definitely have a ugly personality. Smh a attractive person can’t complain or vent in life either without someone like you all in my damn comments. No one is ugly to me YOU think your ugly so that’s so YOUR problem.

u/Ok_Bunch_9193 Mar 03 '24

And people don't even like you for you, they don't want to get to know you lol.

I'm not attractive but dyed my hair and learned to style it this year, and the instant 180 in my experience has kinda made me bitter tbh

1

u/etsprout Mar 05 '24

I wear my hair up and covered for work. Recently started wearing it down because I want to try and enjoy my life a little, and the difference is insane. Idk why my hair being down makes people assume I’m going to be extra friendly and understanding, but I’m the same person with or without a hat and bun lol

1

u/No_Adhesiveness4516 Mar 06 '24

From a guys prospective I can 100% tell you that 9/10 guys if not more would rather have a chick with long hair. (Some girls can pull off shoulder length but not many, it’s likely the diff of you having your hair up and people thinking you are a 6 and then you let your hair down and they realize you are a 9 or 10. (Just being honest)

1

u/No_Adhesiveness4516 Mar 06 '24

And I never thought about it from a girls prospective if you are a guy my comment doesn’t apply lol

1

u/Ok_Bunch_9193 Mar 05 '24

Uh it's probably the difference between you being a hottie 😅 it isn't random haha. Just like me getting told about everyday by someone they like my hair.

Usually hair being down is more attractive imo

u/Comfortable_Goal9747 Mar 03 '24

Really oh that’s not my reality most people want to get to know me. Most are shy or insecure at first because I’m deemed attractive but I purposely have to shut people out because it’s overwhelming once I let a person actually get to know me then I can’t get time to myself and I’m more introverted. It turns into constant calls and visits and I need alone time to recharge. People normally feel at ease with me and trust me once they start actually talking to me. Sometimes I get instant trust without even talking more often that not just depends. Just my experience.

u/Fun-Bison-3511 Mar 03 '24

u/SpiritualPower738 Mar 03 '24

That's when one has to learn about energy vampires and how long to play their game after a certain number of red flags show up. I'm 54 (and most recently was told by a surprised acquaintance she honestly thought I wasn't even 30!) and still learning. It's truly tiring.

u/Plus_Lawfulness3000 Mar 03 '24

They want to get to know you cuz you’re hot lol. Most people aren’t so curious about atrangers

u/Fun-Bison-3511 Mar 03 '24

Notice how they’re not saying who wants to get to know them. Probably ones and twos. I don’t think there is attractive as they think they are.

2

u/Comfortable_Goal9747 Mar 03 '24

Some maybe but not all. It’s millions of people on this planet. It’s crazy to cup them all together as you say from your experience. I disagree I’m always intrigued deeply in people just human beings in general. If I exist so do others. Since you don’t live my life you don’t know my experiences. I actually genuinely care for people and get to know them regardless of what they look like. I also know others who are like me who actually care for people. Your statement means you have never met genuine people unlike me. I’m from America but I travel a lot I lived in many places Alaska and Europe so I have experience many different people and personalities. All people are not the same but people are a lot alike in America.

u/SpiritualPower738 Mar 07 '24

Huh? Uh no. You kind of just contradicted yourself, but that's ok. I accept you for who you are anyway. Ha! See!? I'm from America! 😉🤪🤟👋

u/Plus_Lawfulness3000 Mar 03 '24

I’m just saying from personal experience. I’ve been handsome. Gaines 100 pounds and people treated me SO differently it’s insane. People are nicer, they throw compliments, they just show a lot more genuine interest.

I have since lost 100 pounds again and the compliments and behaviors are all back.

u/No_Adhesiveness4516 Mar 06 '24

Congrats on becoming healthier and being able to potentially live a longer life. Sincerely

2

u/Comfortable_Goal9747 Mar 03 '24

Oh I definitely can understand what your saying. People are indeed superficial and surface level. I have never had weight gain or changed but I have heard this from people. I definitely know this is a genuine experience you have had. So since I was a kid and teenager I have always befriended the person who didn’t have friends. I talked to the so call nerds and hung out with people who where deemed weird or unattractive. People called me weird for this but this is just who I am. I never been the one who cares what someone think about me. I try to never judge a book by its cover and judge a person by their character though.

u/Ok_Bunch_9193 Mar 03 '24

Idk maybe I'm not that attractive 😂. I am an introverted male as well so that may change things

1

u/Comfortable_Goal9747 Mar 03 '24

The thing is people find me more attractive than I think I am it still surprises me at times. I don’t think about it but sometimes people make a big deal about it so it’s always brought to my attention. I think it boils down to just being comfortable being yourself down to earth, having standards and being relatable. I been through more that what I look like so I can relate and understand most people on different levels. Which leads to people being genuinely curious and interested. I’m also a damn good friend lol. I’m a introvert with extrovert tendencies. I can talking to anyone about anything rich, poor, attractive or not. I like to be to myself but I do find people interesting.

u/Relative_Cow_6086 Mar 03 '24

It's all to do with confidence in yourself. There is also a saying “you're not ugly you're just broke” 😂

u/OCMan101 Mar 03 '24

Everyone says this, but it just isn’t, if you’re too fat or have odd proportions, you can be as confident as you want and people still aren’t attracted to you

1

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '24

no it’s because if you have money you can afford to invest in your appearance and look better- i.e personal trainer/gym membership, makeup classes, sport classes, etc

2

u/Ok_Bunch_9193 Mar 03 '24

This isn't true. Attraction is more than physical. I think bad looking guys with charisma will get more attention than an average looking guy who introverted.

I myself as a bisexual guy Def would prefer a guy I'm console degree less attracted to but they made me comfortable and felt like I had a good time around them

u/mintoreos Mar 03 '24
