discussion Have you lost/gained pretty privilege?

[Batsy Armada]

It's something I've maintained over the years, for better and for worse. I've just always taken good care of myself by eating healthy, working out regularly, controlling and limiting stress and having a simple but good skincare routine.

 

It really is annoying how superficial people can be, especially in the gay community, because I know most wouldn't care to talk to me if it wasn't for my physique—despite how otherwise physically attractive I still am.

this kinda sucks becaue when you think about it, how do you want to have a relationship with someone if that person only noticed you in the first place because you are pretty? What if I get sick and gain weight or suddenly start to go bald lol

I stopped caring about that when I realized that I actually find people relying on their looks extremely unattractive ironically… especially when you actually have a convo with some of them… it's like the lights are on but nobody's home

Ever since I made myself look not emo anymore.

 

I've been lonely, friendless and get things harder in life so yes I feel the difference I know how an ordinary person feels on a daily basis

 

Im Just a basic white blonde ***** that blends in the crowed and hate it till I save up the money to go back to cute scene queen I once was

[unino]

can we not talk about this, like it HURTS

[popmusicisdead]

i was only ever "conventionally pretty" when i was in my mid-20s. i have let myself go sadly.

but i still have a full head of hair so things could be worse

I lost 20kg, from that point onwards it's been night and f-cking day. So weird. But it was never hard or difficult to pick up guys my type because I think I'm a smooth talker. Making the boys laugh is easy.

I had a beauty peak in my early 20s then became a fat after flop fad after COVID but I feel a rebeak coming

Pretty?! More like a stunning, sexy, gorgeous, #badbitch. Never will not be.

the gay community definitely has problems with body image and superficiality, but some of you need to stop projecting your own insecurities and stop being the victim in your own lives.

 

i know many gay men who are far from being conventionally attractive and yet they are in long-term relationships and happy. finding love is possible, but yeah if you think someone is gonna fall for your personality on grindr or in the club you are a bit delusional. i also know gays who keep complaining about being rejected by conventionally attractive guys and yet they will never give an average guy a chance. 

 

so if you have a problem with finding love ask yourself if there is something YOU need to change instead of endlessly complaining about muscular insta gays that you still follow despite claiming how shallow they are and how much you dislike them.

Yeah, this is the first time I've really gotten it as of late. I lost a bunch of weight the last few months and I'm in pretty good shape and people are super nice and accommodating to me everywhere I go. People go out of their way to smile at me and compliment me, and let me cut them in lines and what not.
