Have you lost/gained pretty privilege?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Have you ever noticed periods of your life where pretty privilige have affected your life ?

 

I glowed up in early adulthood, and how people act is night and day. Really opened my eyes on how superficial we are as people.

 

Are you yourself aware when you treat people with pretty privilege ? :gaycat2:

I've always been incredibly stunning beautiful young and fit so I don't know what it's like to live without it

Absolutely yes (i was just talking abt this with my brother lol)

After i started working out and taking good care of my face & body i noticed that i get treated so differently than before whether at airports, banks etc sometimes they make me skip the lines and also sometimes i get some free stuff when i go shopping + i get gifts left and right from guys

Spoiler

even though i'm more top :mandown:

and honestly whenever that happens i lowkey feel sad abt how superficial some ppl are

I have a very similar experience. I used to be fat and now I'm getting fitter and fitter and people treat me totally differently and life in general is just easier :rip: so many perks of being pretty

Definitely gained, feels like it gets stronger every year.

Better late than never I guess :bird:

Fr, and it's not only men who treat me more nice, it's women, children, old people, just everybody that's nicer to you :skull:

Honestly, women love me for some reason but men are hit and miss on whether they are nice or not. I used to get tipped a lot at my old job though!

Gained.

 

All men in the gay community need for pretty privilege is muscle. 
 

The interactions are like night and day. People open convos with you. People openly thirst for you. People go out of their way to hang out or invite you to parties.
 

I experienced it after I gained 10 lbs of muscle. It was like whiplash, cause not even 8 months prior, I was invisible in the clubs. Then suddenly I was overwhelmed by the attention. 

 

It's sad, but real.

Yes. I unexpectedly discovered I have the ability to pass as a biological woman when in drag. It opened up to me a whole range of different types of men that society regards as highly desirable, some powerful (some not).

I know right? I don't have muscles and i have a really hard time getting guys.

I sit around all day long listening to Your Wife Waters Flowers (I Wanna Kill Her) thinking IF ONLY i went to the gym 2 hours a day 5 days a week every week i would finally attract all of the Grindr gays that don't wanna **** me. It's been weighing heavily on my mental health.

It's funny because you don't know what you don't know, right? So for me, when I started going out at like 24, I just assumed it was because I was late to the scene and people already had pre-existing networks of friends. It made TOTAL sense to me why I wasn't getting attention and was finding it difficult to make friends. But I was ready to put in the work socially to connect.

 

Now fast forward to 26 after I had put on more muscle (for unrelated health reasons)... Imagine my shock when people were coming up to ME and inviting ME to after parties, pool parties, birthday parties, brunches, etc, in the very same clubs where I used to sip my drink in the corner wondering who was friendly enough to approach. I remember the first time I took my new body out for a spin, I got 3 bjs in one night -- one on the dancefloor, one in the parking lot of a club, and another with the person I went home with. :rip:

 

Something died in me when I realized that WHO you are is less important than WHAT you present as. I was still the same person, but I presented like some people's fantasy and that was enough for them to engage with me or pull me into their circle of friends.

I mean i know it's true. Guys used to tell me if i went to the gym they would hang out with me. 
You think i lied?

You can get three blowjobs in one night from the same person tho.

No, I don't think you lied! I'm agreeing with you! Sorry maybe I didn't explain myself correctly.

 

I'm saying it's funny because if you don't know that the gay community operates that way, it's hard to understand why people don't talk to you. 

 

That was my case. I only put on muscle initially because my doctor was concerned for my health (high blood pressure) and wanted me to be more active. It was a total accident that I discovered how superficial the community is.

 

It's still hard for me to keep muscle since I'm naturally skinny guy, but I keep thinking to myself, I can't go back to how things were. :chick3:  So it's become more mental health struggle because I'm now made aware.

Yes. So in 2017 i was peak good looks, i was off accutane and on a great skin care routine, i was fit and i should of modeled tbh. But then idk...i gained weight (prob 10-15 pounds and face started acting up). But now im managing well after fasting and losing the weight and now im fit and toned and my face has gotten its definition back. 

 

Ive gotten lots of compliments, free stuff tbh and have noticed my mood being better as well. 

 

It helps your mood alot

Idk, i'm sorry you went through that and that you think the gays are superficial. 
I haven't really been in The Scene for a while, but always had fun even if i didn't find anyone to hang with when i went out.

ALSO WHAT THE F*** 

i was literally joking cuz i know A LOT of guys that aren't into muscle. 
I briefly dated dozens of them. 
So i spot A LOT of lies in this thread.
