Ah, I remember when I found out the guy I was going out with was being paid to date me

Im pretty and I know that (I work my ass off for it)
But I wasn't
Pretty is simply how good your features to together

It's been proven repeatedly that the more symmetrical your features are the more "beautiful" you are considered and that changes the way people interact with you. This is a fact, not some cultural dictation or construct that we have grown into or out of as a society and to claim otherwise is a pointless gesture. This is not to say someone less symmetrical can't be more attractive to an individual but there is a real reason why they say "beauty is only skin deep". It is up to us as rational beings to be able to move past the surface value. It's just unfortunate that many don't.

@robbuche thank you ^_^ lol I'm not ugly NOW but I used to be hence why my personality is good lmao

I used to be really awkward and not ugly because I don't really think people are ugly, but definitely not pretty, and guys would ask me out as a joke, and make it obvious that is was a joke, not because they wanted me to say yes but probably just so they could make fun of me for being so weird and 'undateable'. Not every guy/girl acts like this, but it could happen to anyone I think.

@lucky. People who only see appearance as a dating factor are shallow. I don't care about appearance I want a personality that keeps me engaged and out of trouble. Are you trying to say that if everybody was as you would put it symmetrical they would all be treated the same? Or would those that are more symmetrical would be treated better?

To answer your second question it's an actually thing called, believe it or not, "Lookism". People with more symmetrical faces and at a healthy body weight are treated differently. Test were conducted that showed almost unanimously that the people that were "beautiful" were trusted, and considered more honest and reliable than those who were not after only meeting the person once. In the work force even people who were vastly under-qualified, especially compared to other applicants, were considered better suited or more qualified than others. And when asked to double check the qualifications, without the applicant there, most people were completely surprised how skewed their perception was. To answer your first question the answer is no, as humans we are pretty petty and will always find something to put down.
