Do you use it your advantage deliberately sometimes? Does it seem like you have a “Bother Me” sign over your head? Do you routinely catch stares and leers?
I ask because I’ve been trying very hard to see if this woman in church is wearing a wedding ring. I think I got caught staring, and now I’m probably the creep, because she has something in that position, though there’s no guy looking attached.
According to this article “‘There are downsides to looking this pretty’: Why women hate me for being beautiful” there are burdens with beauty.
Yes, I’ve seen that. She got pretty attacked for that, as I recall. That doesn’t mean it’s untrue.
I was also watching a guy at another meeting today switch seats at the break and sit near one of the more attractive women in the room. I’m sure she noticed, as he wasn’t there before.
I’d rather also get some personal input from the womens.
Whenever you get caught looking. Look her in the eyes and smile. Who knows she may smile back.
The other trouble is that there doesn’t seem to be a standard diamond engagement ring, and some of your more “dedicated” church women will wear a fake wedding ring just to put off the guys they don’t want to hear from and don’t know.
The problem is any female doper who posts in this thread will end up being accused of stealth bragging.
Yeah, I thought of that. The other problem is that throwaway or sock puppet accounts can’t be used here, which gives Reddit a greater possibility for anonymity for things like this.
As Herb Caen once put it: “I smiled at a pretty girl today and she smiled back. That feels better than laughing out loud!”
I’m not an attractive woman, but I would ‘assume’ it feels similar to being a wealthy man surrounded by gold diggers. On one hand you want people to like you, but there is a fine line between having bait and knowing people want to use you for it and don’t care about you as a person.
You also have to take into account the negative effect it can have on the woman w/o her knowing. She could end up quite a cunt if guys are always bending over for her. I’ve seen that happen.
Again, any women who post in this thread are probably going to be accused of stealth bragging. But I’d like to hear some input.
Awaiting the inevitable arrival of the Dope’s sexiest lady. :rolleyes:
But you’re already here!
If she’s wearing a wedding band either because she’s married or to discourage unwanted attention, why push it?
With subsequent inquiries into the current state of her well-being.
And if she doesn’t, keep smiling and *do not *break eye contact.
And if she does, slowly lick your left, then your right eyebrow.
Every beautiful woman I know was once a young innocent girl, who’s looks drew unwanted attention from men old enough to know better and outright creeps. Definite downside I’d say.
Nothing comes without a cost in my experience.
Seriously. Duh x 1,000.
I no longer use Lik-N-Stik eyebrows. It’s easier just to draw them on.
Well, on a scale of one to ten (ten highest) I’d give her a five. Attractive? yes. Beautiful? No. I wouldn’t give her a second glance on the beauty scale.
Aww…
