Is Life Harder for Physically Unattractive People?

[uls]

pag attractive ka (regardless kung babae o lalake)...

people treat you better

people smile more at you

people are kind to you and assume you're nice

pag pangit ka...

people don't smile at you

people tend to be rude to you

people think may masama kang balak

--

pag attractive ka, kahit may masama kang balak, hindi iisipin ng tao may masama kang balak

pag pangit ka, kahit may mabuti kang intensyon, iisipin ng tao may masama kang balak

and that's why life is harder for unattractive people

i think that's Cathy's point

Sa coffee shop pag may lumapit na nanghihingi ng donation o kung ano man..

Maganda: hi sir, hihingi lang po sana for our...
Guy: ah para san ba yan? Upo ka muna and explain it to me.

Panget: hi sir, hihingi la....
Guy: sorry la ko pera.

haha

totoo naman na, physically, ang type ng lalake sa babae ung mukhang makasalanan hehe

or yung mukhang anghel pero makasalanan

Yep. But for me pangsamantagal yung una, pangmatagalan yung pangalawa. Feeling ko mabilis ang turnover mo sa #1 hehe

Uso naman daw "dad bod" ngayon. 😁

^ A bit confused on the dad bod trend. Women feel more secure daw...but secure kasi mukhang tatay na mag aalaga sa kanila, or secure kasi alam nilang walang babaeng papatol sa kanila? 😀

Bit of both, I suppose. I would add some younger women go for those because alam nila na pag tatay na, may pera na kahit paano.

A lot of how you look and how people treat you for that shapes your personality. The Philippines is a cruel, cruel place. People will call you "negro" or "intsik" or "pandak"... sometimes to your face. If you're overweight, they'll be bluntly insulting about it. They'll comment on your looks and make decisions based on them. Of course, if you have a good personality you can make up for that, but if you are never given a chance to develop that personality... well...

The poor kids I played with called me Hey Joe and it stuck the whole time I was there. I never thought of it as bad.

I don't know if I'm handsome or not. But, I must have a face who most people think they can trust because I was able to get along with anyone, even the drunk street corner toughies. They were the ones who offered me my first beer before I was a teen.

In HS and college, I never needed to look for friends. My nature is that of a lone wolf. I'm quite capable of being happy without being part of a group. Perhaps, that attitude was fascinating to some, especially in the PH. But, they're the ones who dragged me into their group. Plus, I participated in many activities such as sports which helped with my social life.

Even here, it's the same thing. One time while my wife was shopping at Target, I went to the food court to get a pretzel. A pretty lady came up to me and started a conversation. She said she screened applicants at her work and remarked I have the face of someone who is honest. I just smiled and said, "Really?" I then asked how she came to that conclusion.

We were having a conversation like a couple of old friends when the wife came along. She had a rather incredulous look on her face which caused the other lady to say goodbye in a hurry.

I told the wife what the conversation was about which seemed to satisfy her. I quipped to her, "See? You're a very lucky woman." Of course, she just smirked back.

Read somewhere that guys will always want a good girl who will be bad only for him (if you know what I mean)

Be a lady in the streets, a freak in the sheets

I always took pride in being a "good girl" and being my lola's model apo, One classic moment in our family was when a cousin got pregnant out of wedlock. She was cut off from the family and my Lola said why can't my cousin be like me. I just made a side comment that fornication is a sin, which pleased my Lola even more I never did things that I know will disappoint my family so I'm as conservative as one could get. Even my Mom called me "manang". It was as if I had a giant stick shoved up my ...

And then I met "crush" I was never the boy crazy type but I found myself with sinful thoughts of him 24/7. Thoughts that could make a **** star blush. I harassed and raped that guy in my mind so many times, I did not even recognize myself anymore. It was a complete 180 degree turn from my bordering prude personality to manyakis . I'm saving myself for marriage, but I was willing to break that rule for him! I guess when you are so in love, you want to translate those feelings physically, when words and actions are not enough anymore. So that was my good girl gone bad episode in my life

and girls will always want a bad guy who will be good only for her.

I'm probably different because I am repelled by bad boys. I like guys that are well liked, refined and polite. The "straight as an arrow" type.

That was (is?) pretty common in PH society. It's one reason why I couldn't spend my life there.

From my elders' viewpoint, I didn't quite fit their image of a nephew because I'm very independent-minded. I never needed their approval or validation for anything I did. I did things because I needed to or wanted to. It's not important what others thought of it. I had my own version of what is right or wrong and it did not always agree with what they thought.

They still loved me as kin. But, they had to adjust and make an exception for me. The rules they made for me were different from the ones for their other nieces and nephews.

I expect my kids to be independent-minded as well. I told my eldest kid she's now an adult. My job is done. She can stay here as long as she needs to. When she does move out, I expect her to live her own life and not to worry about me. I don't want her feeling obligated to help me. If I ever become an invalid, I'll put myself in a military home where old veterans run out their clock. I will not have her life divided between her own and mine.

I don't know what kind of pep talk my wife had with our eldest kid. I don't even want to guess.

200lbs doesnt seem too bad

When you're only 5'5" and thirteen, it's a social death sentence.

Worse is how bad it makes you feel to be so terribly overweight. You lose all self-esteem. There are guys who are naturally chubby... Buddha-ish... and girls do find that cute... but not all of us are so lucky.

Nowadays, I'm between 210-220 lbs, but I have some muscle under the fat. Despite being seventy pounds overweight, I can still do fifty push-ups straight. Aching to get back into shape, but at least I can actually climb ten stories of stairs (as when I cross the pedestrian bridges at EDSA while out commuting) without having a heart attack.

Uso naman daw "dad bod" ngayon. 😁

Leo di Caprio is a Johnny Come Lately.

I think the whole dadbod schtick is just an excuse for women to keep salivating over him. Fat or thin, Leo still looks good.

In other words... even if fat is in, ugly guys still don't stand a chance.
