chill, there's a thread loosely about her in this very board RIGHT NOW
Thought I could use some (You)s

>> No.10799434

Being good looking was like being on uppers and not knowing it. I didn't realize that everything in my life was just "better" than it would have been otherwise. People are nice to you by default, people go out of their way to help you by default, it's not like you notice it because it's all exaggerated and intense. It's integrated into your life because it's constant. Its a 60% increase in smiles in your direction, in people wanting to politely get out of your way when you're coming by, things like that.

I don't think a woman who lives that way can describe it accurately. Because she has no contrast. I only notice it now in hindsight because I got older, I moved to Southeast Asia for 8 years and when I came back I was "old." For two years I was depressed, borderline suicidal, because I felt so out of place when I came back, I couldn't figure it out, I thought it was because I had been gone so long that I had become "out of sync" or that my personality had changed, but nope, it turns out it was just because I was over 30.

Now I can look back to being 21 and go, wow, all those times people did LITTLE things, things FOR ME, and I didnt notice it or think of it as "different". Just imagine someone told you right now that you're actually royalty, and everyone knows it but pretends not to know it. Everyone just fawns over you but in subtle ways. Wouldn't you disbelieve them? Wouldn't you find it hard to pick apart your social life and find all the evidence of people fawning over you? You wouldnt believe it, because that's your baseline. You are used to your baseline.

THat's how a beautiful woman lives.

>>10799434
Oddly accurate post, attempting to delve into the psyche of the beautiful.
A comparison would be with the ability to be alive. It's so natural you never actively live, never consciously maintain your processes. Living is a must and live we must. For the beautiful women in special (in the current incarnation of reality, that which we perceive right now), there is no knowledge outside being beautiful women. Not-beautiful is not-alive. It's literally death, or rather, the uncrossable bulwark of death, beyond which we have no vision.
Not even beautiful people who turned ugly can know this, as they still have the memory of being beautiful bruising the mind.
Only the ugly know about the condition of being naturally ugly. We are the blind to their sigh, and they are the blind to our sight.

You won't find one unless its a redpill book written by a man that is telling you. If a women writes a book about her life she will always write her problems into it but amplify them to sound horrible and make people sympathetic. If she writes fiction the female characters will be treated like trash in the book to show that women are persecuted despite the book being fictional. No matter which way you slice it, a women is always going to play the victim. It's what they do to manipulate and control. It's no different when they write books, you can spot them a mile away.

It's similar to being a good looking male. I've had conversations with extremely hot chicks about this same thing and it's basically the same experience, maybe even slightly better as an attractive guy. I'm lucky to be born quite a bit above average, looks wise, and also have pretty good taste in style. Though I think I only get away with wearing what I do because I'm alright looking. I'm 27 and it just seems to keep getting more intense.
At uni, on public transport and especially out drinking chicks constantly check me out, and I get approached fairly regularly. Even in the street occasionally. None of my friends are that attractive, and it's so obvious that there is a huge seperation between how women treat them, and how I am treated. Even by my friends girl friends.
Everyone is friendly towards me except occasionally guys want to fight me at the pub for no reason, but it almost never eventuates to anything because I'm quite tall and broad.
Also, just so you know I've been unemployed for four years, and before that only worked a few shit jobs. I've had a series of girlfriends since I was 16 and basically leached off them, parasite style for all of my adult life. Im conscious of doing it, but don't feel good about it.
If you don't assume I'm lying or something, and would like to ask any questions AMA.

I am, honestly. It's so depressing. I just broke it off with this chick(23) I was seeing for ages, she got left a few hundred thousand dollars by her grandfather when he died (though we were together before she got it or I knew it existed, kinda) just because I know I have to isolate myself and work my shit out. So I'm going to uni doing an English major. I don't know how Americans grade assignments, but I've got a high distinction average for all my subjects and I am totally sure it's because all of my lecturers bar one are women in their late twenties/early thirties.
I know doing a humanities degree is pointless, but I think once I've got any sort of qualification (I have none) I will be able to get an ok job, also on accounts of my looks/confidence.

Hope I'm not coming across as smug or elitist at all.
So, so depressed, just like everybody else.
I am grateful though and realise Im very lucky in a part of life that so many people struggle with.

hmm, I can't help but feel you didn't say much apart from good looks get you female gazes, despite your long personal account (by 4chan standards). It's only natural that people are attracted to attractive people, no mystery there.

I'd be more interested in how this reflects on day to day life and platonic interactions and what the " hot chicks" you've spoken to had to say about this. Do they treat attractive men in a way that a once attractive man whose looks are fading would provide an account similar to this >>10799434? I for one have my doubts about attractive men getting the same special treatment as attractive women.

That's really just it though. Everyone is friendly to me and If I talk to someone, they always respond in the best possible way, but only upon first meeting them. Once you get to know someone it obviously stops being that important. Would you hang out with someone that was a mean asshole all the time just because they were attractive?
Very attractive women definately get special treatment, but there are a lot of very attractive women. Not everyone gives a shit about looks, especially not all the time. If I looked like I do, but I was really stupid (not that I think I'm particularly smart, just well read) I don't think I'd have it so easy. It's just a massive bonus, especially with casual aquiantances.

Platonic relationships: my close friends are all weirdos I met years ago at college (which I dropped out of) and I only see them occasionally. Usually I just adopt the friend group of whatever girl im seeing. Doesn't take much effort at all because I like talking and the girl vouches for me. Then you only see them on the weekends or when people are going out/partying. Also, I get friendly with all of her girlfriends and the mild jealousy probably keeps the relationship tighter, at the same time she gets off that her friends like me.
In this post I'm referring to whatever girl im seeing, not any in particular. I recognise there's a pattern, but it's just a learned thing.

Both Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina do a good job of portraying a beautiful woman, but in neither case is the woman very self-aware.

Shakespeare's Cleopatra has more knowledge & understanding of the power an attractive woman has over men, and she uses that power more calculatedly and skilfully. But she's in love (for the first time in her life, maybe) and is at the mercy of her own feelings. So again we don't really get perfect self-awareness.
