Are pretty girls happier?

Looking good makes you confident and confidence leads to happiness right? Nobody ever says a girl with small lips and small eyes like mine are beautiful. So I can’t be confident:( Also, why do guys treat you better if you’re pretty? That’s not even something you have control over, I just don’t get it. but all guys seem to only care about looks, even the intellegent ones. *sigh* Maybe I’ll just get plastic surgery and get it over with.

I’m 17, a guy, and i’ll tell you one thing…

I will never date a girl who has had plastic surgery because to me, it would look as if she is trying to be someone else - not herself.

Personality matters too though. I went out with a girl who people said was hot - and she was, but, she wasn’t that friendly. she was over-confident, and felt that she was best, so i dumped her. she didn’t ever seem to want to laugh anyway. i’m now going out with someone, who looks like an average normal person, and she is lovely.

Looks do not come first. If that is your photography in your avatar/display picture, it looks fantastic. you may think you aren’t good looking, but at least you have a good hobby - taking pictures. all of the “hot” girls seem to just like painting their nails, make-up, and spending loads of money on things they don’t need. I’d much rather have a girlfriend who is interested in something like photography.

there is nothing wrong with small lips. Big lips, to me, look horrid.

Plastic surgery leads to plastic happiness. If you want real happiness then… um…. smile a lot. :) And watch this video that someone else suggested for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK0B7N…

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
You are beautiful to someone, somewhere.
You just haven’t met them yet.

But all this is irrelevant,
It’s what’s INSIDE that counts.

I suggest you listen to Jack Johnson - “Posters” or “sexy plexi”. Anyway.. Looks always means something to human beings when they meet a potential guy or girl, but one doesn’t mean one has to be stunning, but one can’t deny the facts. The confidence part is very interesting. The way i figure, confidence is an evil circle. If I let myself down because I think there is something which is not good enough about myself, my confidence will go down. People without confidence are harder to communicate with, so maybe you should work on your confidence instead of your looks. All guys like a girl with a smile in her face. ;)

You’re certainly wrong about how guys are, but you could follow her example if that’ll make you happy.

Of course one shouldn’t lean towards plastic surgery if one doesn’t feel it is absolutely necessary, but don’t say it’s necessarily something morally wrong about plastic surgery. Angel, i don’t think guys are all about looks. Serious guys look for a lot more than just looks.

unfortunately, there is no direct answer for how happy anyone or any group og people are.
however, yes, beautiful people often have an easier time dealing with life,since no one wants to upset a beautiful person.
it’s unfair but its life =/
but be happy, because i am sure you are more beautiful than you give yourself credit for :]
you’ll be alright 3

No pretty girls aren’t happier
Pretty girls aren’t treated bettter by guys
Guys go with them for their looks, nothing more, how do you think that makes someone feel?
Being happy isn’t about the way we look
Being pretty doesn’t make you confident
confidence is harder to have & to keep hold of & it only takes a few ar5e holes to make the pretty girl unhappy, insecure & lacking in confidence

If u wanna impress a guy, change your looks and look different. Even the ugliest girl looks pretty to a guy, when she’s different from the lot. I strongly recommend you to update your wardrobe and look different. And i differently wouldn’t date girls with plastic surgery, even if she’s beautiful… trust me, I’m a guy i know what i want……^_^

It seems like people only care about who you are if you’re pretty on the outside though. Girls like Megan Fox had surgery and became famous and guys still love her even if they know she’s had surgery.

ya I like seeing megan fox. but that doesn’t mean i wanna date her, like her, or to get to know her.. do you want just attention or someone to like you for who you are.. it takes time, but you can do better..

sorry…… but that’s one of the stupidest posts i’ve ever read in here

that’s true
and as a doctor i tell you, there’s no plastic surgery that can fix low self-esteem

dumb guys are interested in looks well…….because they’re dumb
inteligent guys just feel sorry for themselves(you know..being nerdy n’ all) and they(stupidly)think that talking with pretty girls actually represents an opportunity

everybody (including you) like beautiful things,the secret is to shine with what you have, be joyful and full of life, and you’ll find the right one pretty soon

Ok ill start off by saying - no, pretty girls are not always happier.

Some of the replies ive read so far have some elements of truth in them - but this truth is coming from that person’s point of view. As a result people are interpreting a “pretty girl” to be some dumb blonde, or a girl who knows she is pretty but wants certain things in life, or those girls who ARE pretty, but they are modest enough to not admit it etc etc.

Looks are only one of the factors affecting happiness. Generally, happiness is a mental state of mind, and so is determined by the person’s mentality overall (dunno if that makes sense). Basically if you THINK you are happy, your more likely to be happy (something along the lines of that).

That is only because people are constantly judging books by their cover. If you were to meet a new person, whats the first thing that you’ll notice? Their appearance. This i say is true for almost every single person (except the blind - no offense there to blind people). Yes it doesnt sound fair - its just how things work. Since appearance is one of the first thing’s we will see of a new person, their appearance will therefore lead to some sort of judgement on what the person is like.

And usually from wat i know, most guys think that pretty girls are nice and fun girls to hang around etc.

And what D.N.A has said in the reply above actually is quite true. Pretty girls tend to have more self esteem, especially if they know theyre pretty, which generally leads to more confidence, leading to feeling more happy.
