i beleive in pretty privilege. Im not saying i agree but it's a thing that happens. Being attractive does help you out more in the acting industry.

Pretty privilege is definitely a thing! I've seen it almost everywhere, especially at social gatherings or bars. I think it's sad to degrade other people purely based on physical properties.

Pretty privilege is absolutely a thing. I've seen it first hand. I feel like its always a certain type of girl too. Thin with a pretty face. I think its pretty degrading and everyone needs to be respected as a whole. 

@cameranriddleiectskin-com You can have someone who is drop dead gorgeous but when their personality is trash to me it makes them less attractive.

@camrynauxtiectskin-com I feel like when someone has pretty privelege they are the ones who are getting free drinks, or dont have to pay to get into the bar. A lot of bars will let pretty girls in for free.

Pretty privilege is a real thing but I don't see it as being a privilege 100% of the time. For example some people see a very pretty person and somehow feel small or intimidated so they don't come up and talk to that person because they feel like they can't. I have never understood that.

@camrynauxtiectskin-com I have been to many parties, family functions or even just going out some times and I have witnessed people getting treated better than other people just because of how they look.

@paigebrickhouseiectskin-com 100% personality makes up for everything. Within my own friends I see it.

Pretty privilege blessing or curse. 

I have had varying experiences of privilege unfortunately not all good. As a young girl age 13. All the boys had growth spurts but I, I fully developed from a flat chested tomboy to a fully blossom full cup C bra tiny waste and full hips. I felt uncomfortable as  young girl walking around in a young women's body. The invisible and not so invisible looks from older boys and men. I was acutely aware of this unwanted attention. However, I often allowed me gain favor in making cheer team without trying out and becoming flag captain. I knew it was my looks and favor I had from male band instructor. 

This favor was not always good. Strange men would often offer me ride home from the bus stop and would pull up to me while walking home. So, shyness has grown in guarded suspicious personality. 

Ugly side of pretty privilege. Unwanted unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature is known as sexual harassment. The recent spot light from the me to movement has unveiled the ugly side of pretty privilege. 

@camrynauxtiectskin-com 

I would be lying if I said I have not had a free drink, gotten in the club free, cut line, bills. I know folks living for free on pretty privilege.  However, most things dont come for free so beware. 

It's sad and so small minded to judge another for what is on the outside. Pretty privilege is as real as it gets. I remember my first experience around the age of 16. It occurs in jobs, social settings, schools, & especially social media has such an impact on these kinds of things. 

@camrynauxtiectskin-com agreed!! i've witnessed this first hand where groups of guys will judge a female based on their outer appearance, yes that plays a factor it's understandable but never judge a book by its cover, its sad for sure.

Pretty privilege is truly a blessing and a curse. you see it a lot at bars, parties, or even just at a gas station. It can have its perks but you also have to watch out for those who are just looking at your body and not your personality. 

@sydneyhurdleiectskin-com there has been a study that some women lose their jobs for being too distracting with their looks.

@themabrooksiectskin-com same here. I have gotten free drinks, food, into bars, etc. but it comes to a point where sometimes it can get way too uncomfortable

I believe I may have experienced pretty privilege a couple of times, most people would argue its a good thing. However, in my experience I have been treated poorly just as much as I have been privileged. I have noticed many people treat me differently than how they treat someone else. They may think I am less intelligent or that I am mean just because of how I look.

@madisonmauldiniectskin-com I have experienced many men taking how I look as an invitation to make sexual remarks to me and be inapropriate.

@sydneyhurdleiectskin-com I agree, many people just look at someone and based on that simple judgement they may decide to treat them poorly, or better. It is very juvinile for anyone to do but especiall a grown person, who is usually the ones to do this unfortunatly.

I can understand where she comes from.  For many people it's exactly how she says, people think that because you're pretty, you have an easier life.  While in the military, I was always judged for my looks.  The "exotic" looks brought me a lot of pain and suffering because most men of all ranks looked at me a certain way and made inappropriate comments and most women treated me badly because they thought I got the "pretty privilege".  I remember specifically being told by people that I got everything I wanted because of my looks, when in fact, I never got anything I wanted because people thought I could. 

@sydneyhurdleiectskin-com It works in some way, like social media where you can go viral or become "famous" for your looks.  At one point I had over 10K followers, simply because of my looks.  I posted pictures. Not showing anything like a lot of girls do. Just me being me.  A famous Dominican rapper posted me on his social media at the time just expressing how "beautiful" I was and immediately the comments and followers flooded my page.  I went from 200 followers to 7K over night and it kept increasing until I was almost 11K.  I got offers to promote stores and was offered free stuff just to wear it.  This of course was at the beginning of instagram, so it got overwhelming pretty quickly.  Even posting pictures in uniform, I received unnecessary comments and hate from women.  My page was hacked and I didn't get it back.  In hindsight, I appreciate it.  It was too much to be judged over looks and to even think that I couldn't post a regular picture because it would be scrutinized.  I have a regular page now and even though it's not as many followers, I feel better.

@karyssamarleriectskin-com It's very unfair.  I know some people may think "boo hoo, look at you complaining over being pretty"  I see comments on social media about it all the time and people think that just because somebody is pretty, they should shut up and color.

Pretty privilege is a thing, prevalent in night life areas like bars and clubs, on the streets, in industries like acting and more. I've seen it with one of my friends multiple times and wondered how she does it. I received some of it when I bleached my whole head blonde but I didn't love it so I went back to brown. I felt everyone just did things and I'm pretty independent and pride myself on that so I didn't like anyone's help with certain things.

@themabrooksiectskin-com Yes it has, there is a lot of it. It happens everywhere, at work, at the gas station, anywhere at all. its annoying having it happen and you have to learn how to dodge it but that shouldn't be the problem, people should just keep to themselves.

@karyssamarleriectskin-com Yes, I have been too and its confusing the different times it happens and then the complete opposite happens. Especially based on what makeup you have on if any, your hair style and color, clothes and everything else.

And I agree there is an up and a very downside to it. I can get you indoors but once you get into the doors, what lies behind them?

call me a hater or whatever but I think this article is extremely tone def. The comments from the other students here are way more mentally stimulating then this bland article. All I heard is that she started caring about her appearance and looking better and that she noticed she was being treated better from society. Then the fact that she says she's raising awareness about pretty privilege makes me wanna fall over laughing. How? she just wasted my time talking about how shes pretty and how its not always so glamorous. She talked about dumb blonde jokes and how she got to get a promotion and sometimes gets free coffee and oh, once she was able to get into the club without waiting. How unfair to the rest of the world. This is tone def to me because like my fellow students have highlighted here (and what I wish she would have talked about her self but she seems very self absorbed and vain) is how if a women is attractive often times society thinks she owes them something. Things like unwanted sexual advances, or that she didn't work for anything that she was given it because of her looks, they will assume because a women is hot she got the promotion that way, not because of her accolades. How putting work into your appearance is often thought of as seeking male attention , being seen as a sex object and nothing more..having no value besides your body...so on and so fourth. I'm really not trying to be a jerk but like this article could have been well written and it would of been something I empathized with but it seriously lacked so much substance and conversation. It really just gave the tone of "i'm pretty and you should feel bad for me" .

I also hate to say it but yes, if you do put time in effort into your appearance you will be treated better..why because when you treat yourself better..you show up as a more confident version of yourself into the world. I think this whole article is coming from a woman who just really wants to be a victim of something to make herself seem more interesting.. or maybe I'm just a word that rhymes with witch.
