Why is it important to be humble?

Olive, I agree that it’s mostly on-topic. But it’s fucking relentless. I wasn’t kidding about making the hamsters scream:

Guys check me out a lot. I can’t explain how but it’s easy to tell if someone is noticing me (as more than something not to bump into). Women give me the once-over plenty, as well.

[snip]People compliment me on my looks all the time. I don’t have a career, but I’ve gotten hired right away at 90% of the jobs I’ve ever applied to.

I wouldn’t say I’m ‘extraordinarily beautiful’ at all (I’m not my own ‘type’ anyway), but I am pretty, and in a particular kind of way: I’m very thin and small-breasted, have a youthful face and big eyes, and am ‘cute’ rather than overtly sexy. I’m not threatening, and don’t grab a ton of attention when I walk into a room.

I feel that my looks have been an ENORMOUS advantage.[snip]

I’m an attractive girl if I do say so myself, and I get more than enough sexual attention - it makes me a bit uncomfortable.

I just don’t know how she got a reputation for posting about her looks.
