• People are simply nicer to attractive women. If you go out<br />

with a cute friend, you can see this painfully clearly. This<br />

isn't to say that people are mean to unattractive women;<br />

they aren't. It's more like you're invisible.<br />

• You can't shop at a lot of normal stores. Many don't carry<br />

plus-sizes, so you have to go to special stores for larger<br />

women.<br />

• You don't get hit on, you don't get people asking for your<br />

number, you don't get people buying you drinks, you don't<br />

a society objectify them. In a way, you get to dodge that bullet.<br />

It hurts to feel invisible to the world, but it's also liberating.<br />

You are free to simply exist as a person, and if you are able<br />

to make the most of that, it can be a great opportunity for<br />

spiritual growth.<br />

The other big upside is that you have likely developed a<br />

good personality and/or career in order to cope with the social<br />

downsides of being unattractive. Combine this with the<br />

fact that age, money, and time can go a long way towards<br />
