At least þey aren’t writing like þis, which I’ve seen from at least one user on Lemmy
I love that guy!
This sounds true for men but I feel like being an attractive woman likely puts a target on you from a bunch of people you have no interest in
For women it’s a two-way street. Yes, it gets you more jobs and more friends, but it definitely also gets the creeps lined up around the block. Plus, some of those friends and jobs only happened because someone wanted to bang you, and that gets dangerous fast.
Source: one of my friends in high school had looks that I literally saw stop traffic. But hoooly shit did guys especially seem to think her looks were an open invitation, and most of them weren’t subtle about it either.
Interesting perspective on this men vs. women. Really attractive guys want the attention and are thrilled if it gains them more sex. Not the case for females
I’m gonna be generous and assume that you aren’t aware but calling women “females” is a blood red flag. Especially when discussing attractiveness or difference between men and women societally.
You ain’t a scientist studying the courting rituals of exotic bird species. These are people.
Word of friendly advice, break yourself of that habit and stop worrying about physical attractiveness.
Women have much higher rates of being sexually assaulted than men. But unwanted sexual harassment can increase with both sexes which is an objective negative. More attractive women are also more likely to have their intelligence questioned compared to a more attractive male. There are also issues of not knowing if people like you for your character or just your appearance that negatively affects everyone. The point is life isn’t just better in every way if you are attractive there are some downsides as well
Probably, but being stupid is a worse curse than being ugly.
Dumbest person I know also happens to be a super nice, always happy, and also very attractive. She’s never struggled to get work ever, even for her dream job as a teacher when she had to take her foundational English and Math exams three times.
I would say she has a better life than the majority of people, never had a day of stress ever as everything has always worked out for her.

also stop eating greasy fast food and get some fucking exercise, just walk a lap around the building every day.
I’m physically attractive, but I don’t have a lot of friends. Never have. I was always the weird kid at school, not because of my looks, but because I thought differently.
I think in reality it’s a lot more about what you make out of your own existence. The young people you have doing so well that are attractive seem like they are so successful because of it, because we envy them. But I assure you, even they are missing something. No such thing as a complete person.
My sibling is also physically attractive (why they always gotta be our off-looking mirrors). He was bullied in school. As he hit around 17 though, he managed to pull himself out of it with the help of his friends (literally laid next to one of em in the hospital after birth) and is now one of the most charming people I know.
I’d much rather be socially more competent at my age and be ugly, I’ll tell you that much.
And before anyone says I’m one to talk, I haven’t actually thought of myself as attractive until like age 22. Took a good bit distancing from teenage years to realize it. People were still cruel to me.
Not true. I’m very unpopular. But yet known to be very attractive. shrug
I ain’t terrible to look at these days, but I was quite attractive in my youth. But I’ll tell you what, being raised by right wing religious nutjobs can fuck up even that advantage. I’m better now, but I used to be incel adjacent.
Popularity is a curse, and the fix for a fair economic life is anti-capitalism
Capitalism will exploit people’s qualities, if that is looks, they will exploit that too
Socialism is better. Everyone equally treated like crap, except for those in control
“Those in control” should be the workers, otherwise it’s not socialism, no matter how dictators like to call themselves
“Everyone treated like crap except those in control” applies to capitalism too, especially in colonised countries
So based on your comment there has never been a socialist government. Though all attempts to achieve “workers in control” have failed. But I guess we should keep trying. Or maybe that saying about doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is correct.
If you are interested on contemporary socialist economy professors talking about the experiences in the soviet union and in China, there are some, Richard Wolff is a nice one to start with. He carefully explains concepts of Marxism and to what extent they were applied in various cases, but then focuses on what current socialists advocate for.
If you want working examples of non-capitalist systems, that are sorts of socialist systems, we have worker coops such as the Mondragon coop in Spain, or the Democratic Confederalism of Kurdistan
If you are not interested in learning anything of socialism past what billionaires’ propaganda tells you, you are very free to do so
Ironic how even though these “successful” socialist societies are paradise … no one is leaving capitalist countries to go live in these paradise countries
Of my two examples, one is a cooperative, indeed there are people in Spain who go work there, and the other one is not a country, but a people inside Turkey, that has to military defend their own existance
I’d be very happy to go work in Mondragon or another worker cooperative. I was looking for a job in one yesterday
