Pretty privilege 

So lately i re-watched an old video by Anna Akana titled "Check your privilege".That video was bout how before you begin to judge or criticise other people,be sure to check your privilege first.Just because you're born w a silver spoon in your mouth,doesn't mean other people have that kinda privilege.Likewise,in that video Anna mentioned bout "Pretty privilege".Not everyone has model material genes.The sad truth is,beauty matters a lot in today's society.People judge you based on your appearance,and yes although that sounds shallow af,that's the sad reality that we are brought into.That is why girls apply makeup;that is why guys shave.Because unfortunately,as dumb as it may sound,people approached you based on your looks.

There's no such thing as "love at first sight",it's just a more whimsical way to say "you're hot,i love you." I've learn this during my fair share of past relationships,if you're not pretty,others won't even give you the shot to show what a great person you are.I know that sounds fucked up.I used to think that to.But let's be real here,if an unattractive guy asked for your numb you would think he's a creep or a pedo;but when a hot or attractive guy asked for your numb you'll not only give it to him but fall head over heels for him.Let's put it another way,if that girl was unattractive in her tinder profile,you would immediately swipe left;but if she's hot you would immediately swipe right and ask her out.Same logic applies for both genders.I know what you might be thinking rn,idc bout appearances,as long as they're funny and kind etc.But let's think of it this way,if they weren't attractive,you would just immediately cross em off your list before u gave them a shot.Don't get me wrong tho,i don't mean everyone's shallow but just a majority of people.But that's hella normal,even me myself would consider looks as my first priority.

But nowadays besides relationships,beauty does play a major role in getting a job,esp in Korea.If you're not good looking,no matter what college you graduated from or how smart you are,your chances of getting a job is lower than someone who has beauty and the similar accomplishments as you.Fucked up right? What bout friendships then? Well it's the same tbh.If you're more good looking,chances are you've more friends in contrast to others.That,or if you just have a wonderful personality.

But let's be real here,appearances are temporary,but personality last forever;looks may earned you their attention,but a heart of gold would make em stay.So to everyone who thinks that you would never find true love and stay lonely af,dw.Once all the guys realise that pretty girls don't last pretty,they'll come to you eventually.((oh god that sounds cheesy))
