    one of my biggest regrets is not trying to become a model. im a hag in my mid twenties now. just bury me in my grave. i was a FOOL who wanted “to be valued for my brains not my looks” when it doesn’t matter what you do or how you dress or talk. you will only be valued for your looks first and formost. so I might as well get a check.

          for modeling or acting maybe; but there’s many other ways to cash in on good looks; emcee, host, in person sales, public relations, most management positions (ie any position where people have to interact with you beyond introduction and goodbyes) comes to mind.

            yeah, there are a lot of benefits, pretty privilege is real. the down side is all the stalking and harassment and racism. to being seen I mean. its great for organizing, everyone wants to talk to you. people tell me I should run for office all the time lol all the while im saying communist stuff (i know they wouldnt listen is i wasnt attractive, ive been unattractive). also theres the gender stuff. so inconvenient, getting in between me and being a hot girl. but yeah it has up and downs but one day ill no longer be valued for my looks and the only thing that makes people be nice to me will go away.
