Why pretty gals have so many hang-ups

It is a foregone fact that pretty girls seem to attract the wrong type of men... most of the time.

I don't mean those that are JUST pretty - like me (hahaha!)... like those pubbing-type of girls with nicely manicured nails... I mean those drop dead gorgeous kind, yet accessible in terms of height and social standing to the mass majority of menkind. Those who are blessed with a physique that is out of this world, yet seem to do minimal maintenance. Those with fair (or tanned) faces that once glanced upon seem etched into one's memory like a haunting, alluring visage that beckons... COME...come. I also know of drop dead gorgeous men, my friends, fresh faced and the ultimate gentleman that girls will just swoon over. Yes, they do attract those pubbing-types...

But why do pretty girls have so many hang ups? I think the main reason is something to do with the way they attract. Face it, men are attracted to beauty like bees to honey. So pretty girls do tend to attract those long-lasting kind... and also, those ugly kind. Somehow, the handsome ones find them 'okay only'. Maybe the hunks need someone less spectacular to make them stand out more. Ask the hunks I know, most of the girls they fancy or girlfriends are common-looking to say the least. Those ugly kind... really cannot make it kind... usually won't prefer someone of their standard. So they'd go at least a bit higher. Maybe it's the ego boost when they see photos together which makes them look so good. No one would scrutinize guys' looks as much as girls, anyway. I know of one guy who was just TALL... and nothing else to speak of... he went awhile with a drop dead gorgeous girl... it improved his market value tremendously. And soon, all the girls were talking about him when he became single... like he's so stunning. But actually I think it was the drop dead gorgeous girl which boosted his macho-ness.

And undoubtedly, the pretty girl will have hang ups because of the ugly men they attract.

Firstly some of them will be insecure. They will always wonder, how long is this going to last? Will she be attracted to a better-looking person? What if someone else who is richer, more handsome, more intelligent, ... comes along? Then will she leave me... and etc. This propells their insecurity which the pretty girl has no idea how to stop this chain of thoughts. The guy becomes possessive in a sense and will make snide remarks about the other ugly guys the pretty girls attract. But the more snide remarks they make, they become insecure.... because without the pretty girl they will be JUST ANOTHER UGLY GUY after a pretty girl too!

Very soon they realise that this is no fun at all. When push comes to shove, most ugly guys end up breaking hearts. Which leaves the pretty girl in a rut. She will be wondering whether the guy likes her for her brain or beauty.

If the pretty girl encounters more than one man of this pattern, she will begin to wonder, Is it me? Am I attracting this kind of people? Why... etc... and goes into depressing thoughts. Whether it's her dressing that is too salacious, whether this, whether that. She becomes insecure of her own image and is afraid to express her true self to people easily, losing trust in them as she begins to wonder if they like her for who she is, or otherwise.

Meanwhile, the ugly guy usually wakes up to reality and finds an ugly girl, marrying eventually.

Have you heard of single women (desperate single women) asking, what kind of guy is right for me? What should I do to make myself more presentable (or words to that effect)...?

Have you ever wondered why this guy, so ugly still can get married, still have a presentable looking woman who will give birth to his kids?

The world is not fair. Sometimes beauty is a curse. In some industries it is. Beautiful girls get looked down upon for their competency just because they look a certain way. Hunks get more criticised because they look like they can charm the socks off anyone and expect a certain amount of attention.

That is why pretty girls have so many hang ups.
