being beautiful

let;s talk about all the perks of being pretty/sweet/beautiful today... They do have little perks in life compared to the others who are well-endowed on the physical aspects. Things like sweet little gifts (for girls) should be common. I have a friend, she practically receives something, be it small or big) from ppl around her everyday. Free donuts, free breakfasts, free tidbits, free drinks, free transport, free PSP!!!! free this and that!!! And if they are single, more perks!!!!!!!!!Sounds good rite? being in ppl's good books for being pretty and beautiful without doing anything much... Ppl also tends to shower care and concern, sayang and give in easily to these ppl. I remembered there;s this american documentary that did a real-life survey and test on how your looks affect your chances of getting jobs. . The results showed that beautiful interviewees (males and females inclusive) get jobs easier (with more pay) compared to those not-so-good-lookin ones. To those beautiful ppl, the world is fair to them. To those ugly ones, they just curse/swear/lament/bitch about how the world is so "fair" to the beautiful ones. I guess it all boils down to our primal instinct of natural selection. Beautiful ppl are deemed more healthy (i am talking about physical attributes here only) and more "able to produce". hahaha...

But somehow i think it's the uglier ppl that might survive better if things goes terribly wrong. For example, if the same calamity in life befalls on 1 beautiful person and 1 ugly person, i think the latter shall prevail from the situation better than the former, not talking into account any help from any outside sources in this case, but from the person;s own natural surviving abilities. Why is that so? Cos ugly ppl are so used to the idea that their chances of getting concessions or help from anyone is way below beautiful looking ppl, they tend to rely on their own strengths and abilities to overcome their problems. They might have built-up a better surviving attitude over the years not expecting any help from amorous ppl who are trying to get into their good books. Okok, my arguement can be flawed cos i did not take into account of many other factors....

Oh oh however i do find a similarity with the ugly and beautiful girls (not all though). They love to call themselves princesses!!! Is it a common girl's delusion that they want to be a princess? I mean it;s very fine if they harbours that delusion from little cute girls till adolescents MAX!!!.. But hey after that and it;s freakingly disturbing. dun they grow out of it? Must be those stupid disney fairy tales that had implanted them with such thoughts about princesses. i mean if they become a lau chai, are they goin to upgrade and call themselves queen or empress dowager? Want to become real princesses, go up north, where there;s many sultans and princes to marry and then live the life os a REAL princess.
