characters who crave affection but at the same time have no idea how to respond to actually receiving it due to the fact theyve rarely ever experienced it are my absolute favourite
Its fun people are nice to you because they want you to like them & you get things for free a lot
So it’s like being famous? 🤔
No not really… its not as noticeable. The only reason I notice my “pretty privilege” is because I lost a lot of weight (I was at 216 & now I weigh 160 & I’m 5’7) so I started getting treated differently. When people find you attractive they’re more likely to hold doors open for you, call you pet names, sit next to you in public places (when I wasn’t cute people would leave a chair between us more often), they laugh harder at what you say (I’ll literally say a chuckle worthy joke and people will literally cackle), they associate positive traits with you & will subconsciously have a positive impression of you before you even say a word. Lots of times if I don’t have enough money for something I’ll turn to put it back & the cashier will either straight up let me have it or give me a discount. Even straight men are nicer to me than they were when I was “unattractive”. I get called masculine petnames like “bro” or “bossman” a lot more & random men are 3x more likely to strike up small talk with me.
I wouldn’t really say I was ever ugly but not being pretty is kind of like how you would imagine being invisible to be. Literally people wouldn’t look at me for more than half a second when I walked into a room, now they will literally turn their heads to stare at me as I walk by & when I look at them like 🤨 they just keep staring. When I was chubby I had put a ton of effort to be waaay nicer to customers & literally stroke their ego’s or say something nice to them @ work to get tips, now I get tips whether I’m just chatting with them or barely even speaking. Like it’s not crazy amazing like people literally stare @ me all the time & it makes me insecure & if I try to talk to most people about it they think I’m trying to be like “ohhh I’ sooo pretty! Woe is me! But yeah for the most part its pretty dope tbh. I hope this answers your question.
So you think being fat/heavy set equates to being ugly? 🤔😞
No I think you’re putting words in my mouth
& completely missing the point of what I wrote. This is about how people treated me based of my looks which has nohing to do with how I think or feel & everything to do with with what society considers to be attractive.
