Question

If you are pretty, have you experienced hostility from other girls/women because of it?

Answer 1

Unattractive women can give 'attractive' women all the hostility they want. The bottom line is that attractive women will always receive more desire, attention, and favors from men. So all you female haters out there can eat $#&*. I'm going to treat good looking women like gold and there's not a d**n thing you can do about it.

Answer 2

I'm a guy so I guess that because of the usage of the word "other" I think it's implied that it's not being asked to me.  But, I was reading some of the answers here and found them a little amusing, so I felt the urge to  comment.

In response to GuessGold's answer, I can't imagine why they should hate YOU specifically - just because you have something they don't.  But, then I'm not a jealous person so I wouldn't understand.

There are alot of people who are better at some things, or have better stuff than me - A LOT, actually.  Yet, I don't ever get mad at the people who live better lives for it.  The way I look at it is, it doesn't matter what other people have so long as I get what I want.  The only people I should be mad at are those who keep what I want away from me.

But, alot of the things I want and can't have are normally kept away from me by my own doing, or by God as it's just the way I was born.  Yet, I guess some people find it hard not to hate those who fate seemed to smile upon when their lives are so unfair.

I agree, DiD, but some guys take it to a further extent and try to manipulate their girlfriends into thinking they're ugly so they think that they're the best they can do.  Like make subtle comments about their weight or what not, so they think something's wrong with them and they get anxiety over it.  And, they justify doing this so as to prevent them from cheating on them.

It's a ****** up world we live in, we have poor saps who try to show their dog-like affection for women who don't appreciate it, only to have those same women turn to the a******s who make their lives miserable.  It's so sad you have to laugh so you don't cry.

Answer 3

Yes. And they can't seem to handle that I am also a good hearted person. If I make one little mistake or admit to having a flaw/problem they seem to love it and feed off of it. I have had girls at my job pick fights with me for the smallest, stupid, things. They try anything to find a reason to hate me. One of those girls admitted to my friend that she and the others didn't like me because they were jealous of me. And the worst is when a man comes up to me (in front of the other girls) and complements how pretty he thinks I am. I can see their horns pop out of their heads. It's not my fault he thought I was pretty why do I need to feel hated by their jealousy???? Whatever I just try and kill them with kindness. There are thousands of different types of beauty and whenever I see another girl who is beautiful I just admire her. I don't get it, girls can be harsh when they are jealous. In 60 years we will all be old and "ugly" why waste till then hating??

Answer 4

i have experienced hostility from girls who thought i was not pretty. i just sucked it up and refused to conform to their self-centered ways.

Answer 5

I don't actually think I'm pretty, I think I'm average. However, I did notice that when I worked with a lot of women who were unattractive they did seem to ignore me. I wouldn't really call it hostility, they just seemed like they didn't really like me.

Answer 6

Yep, friends refuse to add me on their myspaces because a young blonde friend would look bad to their wife. Plus my friend gets mad at her boyfriend everytime he works late with me.

Answer 7

Yes, and ksnake 10's answer explains why. As long as women depend on male attention for their self esteem, women will hate each other. IMO catty women deserve whatever they get. BTW, that guy you catch being catty isn't worth a fish's head. He'll just leave you for the next stupid catty girl. Like they say, bird's of a feather... and, we reap what we sow.

Answer 8

Yes I have in the first high school I went to. Then we moved to another town everything was cool and people liked me. I think it all depends on the size of your high school also. The first high school was small with only about 500 students and i was the new kid there and everyone was in some clique or the other. But the second high school had nearly 3,000 students. I was also the new kid there. But they were use to seeing new faces.

Answer 9

I have my days where I feel ugly, but other people have told me I'm pretty.  I have had past female friends and co-workers get jealous when other men compliment me, or try to plot against me just so they could make me feel bad about myself.  I had a "best friend" tell me "Other guys think you're so ugly," when those guys really were saying that I was good looking.

My mom is a very beautiful and well-dressed women, and I have noticed that women get jealous of her as well.  

It's funny how my two best friends are males. I can't think of any female that I can call a "true best friend." Every female best friend in the past that I've had has become jealous. :(

Answer 10

I like to consider myself to be "pretty", but I really don't sense and hostility from anyone.  I do, however, see that happen all too often.  But, I think that's just because the women who do get the hostility carry themselves in such a way that makes them seem like they are better than you because of it and use their looks to their advantage.
