Beautyism? Uglyism?

[J.B.]

I first heard about beautyism from my sister. I guess the idea is that you’ve built these preconceived notions about a person because they’re good looking.
Now my sister, she’s gorgeous and she knows it. She’s not stuck up, but she’s aware of here looks. She nice to people and small animal, doesn’t kick puppies, smiles a lot, laughs , jokes around. And you can see how other some people will treat her like crap as soon as she walks through the door. Now you can say that maybe that person just has a crappy disposition, but there have been times when I’m talking with the person and they’re great and nice and wonderful until my sister walks in.

Now on the flip side how many times have you though someone shouldn’t have the right to act a certain way because they’re not good looking in your book?
“She walks around flirting and smiling to half the guys here, and she’s not even that good looking!”
“He follows her around like a puppy and she’s not even cute.”

I've noticed time and again that men will respond much differently to me when I'm wearing makeup and have a tight t-shirt on. Looking right, I can get almost anything I want.

you can't make some people happy... I think the ones who hate beauties are probably the same ones who think uglies don't have rights either... personally I just try to avoid them...

Edit to add: I haven't had a problem with it myself... not pretty or ugly enough... just your average middle aged woman.. and I am okay with that...

The reason I brought it up is because I hear it from people in my family a lot. Though this is the side that I really don’t talk to because they’re stuck up little snobs. They are good looking. I come from a gorgeous family and it’s not love talking I’ve seen how others react when they’re around. I’m the ugly duckling of the group

If you are the ugly duckling then it must be pretty fine looking flock of ducks!

It's part of our early childhood training: The ugly are wicked, the beatiful are good. Good is beatiful, wicked are ugly.

Sadly, it doesn't prepare us very well for real life. Ted Bundy captialized on his looks and the training young women have to be helpful. He would bandage himself to look as if he needed help and then kill the women who helped him.

Sad, isn't it?

so.... I wicked? cool! wicked have more fun anyway.

Oh dear, that's not very nice, now is it! Nor true~!

Just one of the local morons dear.
No need to get offended. Their life’s goal is shocking people.

it's gotten old.

I'm not offended, persay, but I work with children, and when people say things like that I can just see their little faces, so open and trusting, and so hurt when someone says things like that in front of them.

People are often mean to my best friend cus she's stunning, and very talented (she's training to be an opera singer), and things like that. They've always been nice to me (cus I'm the fat girl to her skinny girl), and then she wanders over and they close up, thinking that she'll be snotty or something, cus she's so pretty.

I, on the other hand, often get the 'you shouldn't be so confident, because you're fat.' and 'where do you get off flirting and having the attention of multiple guys... you're not nearly as pretty as me'.

People can really suck sometimes.
