Yes the uglees are more likely to have a partner

*Long-term partner / More likely to settle

Kinda agree. "Ugly" people are more decisive in relationships, because they can narrow their focus from a small pool unlike "hot" people where they get overwhelmed with wide options

idk about privilege but a lot of ugly guys do think they are entitled to special privileges just because they are "nice guys"

all i'm hearing in this thread is steak is too tender, lobster is too buttery ahh issues

There's a point in regards to female assault on the hands of men, but I'm defining it within the superficial

It's pointless to talk about "ugly people" as if ugly looks the same way to all of us. Angus O'Brien from Boots, for ex, my bf thinks is handsome & I think his eyes are beady & he gives me a big ick. The only universally "ugly" ppl are ppl who seriously don't look after themselves & I don't think there's any advantage to that. 90% of ppl have redemptive features, you'd have to be an abomination to rly not have a lid to your pot, so to speak. And at that point, looks are probs the least of your problems

Yes in some cases. People will automatically assume you are smarter than an attractive person (which is also true in 75% of the cases atleast)

Idk, but I wish people who think they're ugly would still make an effort. Even when I was at my ugliest. Fat nasty and broke. I still showered. You can't be ugly AND smelly. Pick a side.

But have you come on this biih mad as hell?

Yes Corporates like to promote uglies as dei hire when they are not poc Just because they are uglies doesn't mean they are actually different when they are some of the most lazy people and just there for tax write off purposes

In my company people get treated very differently based on their looks, I know I get side eyed for certain outfits when others wear much more revealing clothes and get a pass because they think ugly = not a distraction for men.

Also a lot of people have affairs (even married ones) and nobody bats an eye but for some reason I get called a **** because I have a couple male friends and fell in love with one of them this year lol. I had a rage outburst once and I got told "well you're pretty that's why they care" 🫪

And this is all some ugly men btw.

The ugly privilege regarding relationships is total nonsense. Especially if your argument is that they tend to stay longer in relationships because they have less options... Like that wouldn't make them happier, just willing to accept a not-that-good partner because they'd think they don't deserve better. That's literally the opposite of a privilege.

From my experience, my only ex that was lacking in the looks department (because I was going through depression and acceptee whoever was there) was also the worst piece of sh*t I've ever met, even though it only lasted one month. While my current hottie boyfriend is a mix of all the qualities I'm searching for in a man, and even more.

As someone previously said, ugly privilege doesn't exist; it's only pity at best.

I think it does. I agree with most of what has been said here and I want to share another take :

If you're handsome then friends/collegues/new people you meet will always feel like they can say something to you , about your clothes or hair or anything because "THAT GUY LOOKS LIKE HE CAN TAKE IT", if you're a young di Caprio in a group of many Steve Buscemi , no one will ever say anything bad to them because it would be considered "bullying ".

It's beauty disadvantage, the thing is you cannot even fight back or you would end up being the bad guy ahah so yeah, I kinda agree with the OP.

Like, you won't be a target for rapists and perverts?

now why would you say this

rape isn't even always about sexual attraction or how some people look??? a lot of men rape for control. if anything "unattractive women" are targeted just as much as "attractive women" because rapists will think that nobody would believe them if they tell

Ugly couples actually are happier in relationships than pretty couples

dang just 5hrs late and it already tells me tweet unavailable if I try clicking on the quoted one

OP: I don't think so. Maybe in cinema where you want an ugly character you'd hire an ugly actor/actress but most of the popular ones aren't so I digress (for an example of what I mean see Rosy De Palma, she's conventionally ugly but still gets cast a lot) + with makeup and stuff you can pretty much change a person's whole appearance so you don't even need to cast ugly people if you can make them look the role. I agree with what others said here pretty much.
