Note: This post is not an open invitation or a vain attempt to get people I know to argue with me about how cute or not cute I may be. It’s simply a place to vent. Beautiful people suck sometimes. And the sad part, it usually has nothing to do with them. It’s all about the attention they receive. Positive attention is nice and if you’re not receiving it, you either wonder if it’s because of you or “them”. It’s always easier to blame them. 🙂
What do you do when you know your friend is cuter than you? And I don’t mean “oh, they have beautiful hair but you have clear skin.” I mean when you know you’re the ugly friend (in comparison). What’s supposed to go through your mind when you go out and you’ve accepted you’ll only get the attention after your friend passes on that guy’s advances? When every group picture makes you want to seek out an uglier friend to go out with?
Ok, so maybe it’s not that extreme but I’ve always had beautiful friends. Now I’ve had and currently have some ladies friends that may be on the other side of the spectrum but for the most part, the ladies I spend most of my time with are quite attractive. As I’ve said before, I consider myself to be pleasantly average with the occasional hot moment. How do you compete with naturally gorgeous? I need my hair in its place, my makeup on point and the right outfit to pull it off. Should I even be worried about competing?
Considering male attraction, should it even be an issue? The guys that look at my friends are obviously not interested in me. Should I be jealous? Or should I just accept that I don’t fit their physical type? Would it even matter if it happened to be one of my hot nights? Shouldn’t I be worried about guys I can talk to, laugh with?
Well of course. But who thinks that when they’re out at night and not being approached the same way a friend is? Or when it’s obvious you’ve been set up with the short, fat decoy so the two attractive people can flirt? Yes, it’s frustrating but it happens. What can you do? I actually like the people my beautiful friends are. I’ll just have to accept their physical assets and bask in their glory whenever possible. Maybe some of it will rub off. But if it doesn’t, I’ve accepted my role as the smart ass friend. I don’t imagine that quality fading with time or being affected by gravity.
