30 Heartbreaking Responses To A Question About Being An Unattractive or "Ugly" Woman Posted on Reddit

by May

Society is, unfortunately, obsessed with unattainable beauty standards. This has caused people to edit their photos, get plastic surgeries, and other ways and procedures to alter their appearance.

In a nationwide survey conducted by Allure, 64% of people would put their attention to how attractive a person is. Roughly half of the people think that appearance is what completely defines us.

Do you see it when it comes to dates, job interviews, and overall success? How we perceive beauty truly has a dark side.

This is the topic that surrounds one Reddit thread. A user asked a harsh question.

What are the lesser-known problems of being an unattractive woman?

This question was asked by a user who thinks that people are too obsessed with a person's appearance. According to BaymaxTheBot, people take lots of pictures of themselves, then choose and share the best one on social media.

The author who asked the difficult question mentioned that posting pictures on these platforms are among the easiest ways of getting validation externally. In a way, the likes are a confidence booster.

This is what gets us hooked to social media. People need to constantly seek the feeling of self-comfort, according to the author.

The responses to the question poured in and were overwhelming. So now, let's take a look at the harsh reality of being unattractive.

An attractive woman gained a lot of weight because of her medication.

She was overweight for about 5 years. When she wrote her post, she already toned down and lost the weight as she was already off the medicationss.

She experienced having body dysmorphia and is receiving treatment. For most of her life, she was treated well.

She started fearing that she would be worthless to society if she gained more weight. Eventually, people started talking about her appearance in a blatant manner.

She is just disgusted. What she has experienced shows that women get devalued for anything except appearances.
