I wonder if pretty women generally consider that it's an advantage in life to be one?
On the one hand, we poor schmucks that men are, are always falling over our own feet to be nice to them, in the hope of even a nice smile.
On the other hand there are issues such as envy, and unwanted attention...
(Though it's also said that the prettiest women *don't* get asked out a lot because everybody figures he has no chance.?)
I hope you'll chime in. And don't hesitate to consider yourself a Pretty Woman, a healthy ego is no sin on my page.

I am not a pretty woman but I dated many back in the day. It was exactly as you suggest. They were intimidating to most men so were rarely asked out and generally happy to say, "Yes," regardless of their relative perception of me because no one else was asking them.
Were they happy? They were normal persons in my experience and as happy or troubled as anyone excepting perhaps the one serious model I dated. She was not but it was because her career was defining her and professional modeling is a little bit of a toxic industry.
Some of that would have to do with when you were pretty. At 8, 13, 17, 24, 32, ..
My wife is so beautiful at 67. My beautiful friends seem to have only a short period when they were happy as a beauty, later a warm period when they were older.
Thanks Ashley and Anon.
