A Weird Stigma

Today I was thinking about something Mischa Barton (of all people, who cares right?) said to the press once. This is back when she was somewhat relevant, but still an idiot. She said "The truth is pretty people aren't as accepted as other people. It comes with all these stigmas". And people laughed it off like "Oh poor, pretty Mischa Barton. Life must suck". They also laughed because, well, she's an idiot. But something has to be said about her comment.

Now I am not going to pretend I am anywhere near as gorgeous as Mischa, because if I were, I would have starred in my very own Enrique music video. But 25 years of experience has told me one thing, and that is that guys want to fuck me. God I feel full of myself even typing that out now, but trust me when I say I am not saying this with a chest full of pride or a big head. Because to put it bluntly, it mostly just sucks. (Not to mention, dudes in general are easy.)

Most girls hate other girls, except for of course, "their girls". And when I say girls I am talking mostly about women in their 20s but can't call them women because this is not a very "adult situation", but as Brandon Boyd of Incubus says, I understand why they say, high school never ends. It has always been this way- especially amongst attractive girls. It's something I've somewhat sensed in my workplace as of late, and it's funny because I find myself worrying what they think so much more than I ever worry about what the guys at work think. Being "the new girl at work" does not really help in this situation. And I hate to say it, but in general, I definitely witness girls being much nicer to less attractive girls than girls of equal or higher hotness levels. It is definitely a tougher battle getting another female to like you when you have that "weird stigma" problem.

And then there's the guys of course. It is so much more difficult to weed out the a-holes when you are dealing with these stigmas. This is because a-holes are mainly going after chicks they want to fuck. Pretty self explanatory, but it sure does make it more difficult to find the one who really wants you for you, especially when they are doing a pretty good job of telling you what you want to hear. And then the shy, good ones are too afraid to approach so I'm just stuck with the jerks. And I swear, it's not like I'm trying, I was over my bad boy stage like 3 years ago! But they still find me. C'est la vie.
