I have a pretty female friend who also works part time as model. She's introverted but well spoken and down to earth. Not sure if this is an IT field thing-- I've seen several cases of pretty ladies who know their asset and utilize it: they "recruit an army of simps", in Chinese one would say Guanyin recruiting soldiers. She's not one of them.

Ironically for her, it's totally the opposite of (1). She's almost 30 and still single. It's as if guys automatically retreat because they think they don't deserve her. Is that (1) and (2) only meant for guys? Lol.

Well, she did have several who expressed interest, but apparently it's not the way she could accept: she's slow to warm up, so the sudden confessions are always "pushed back" -- not a flat out rejection from her side, but the men would always take it as a rejection.

Thanks to her, I get to see another perspective of "it's lonely at the top" lmao. Jokes aside, yeah apparently being pretty isn't always nice -- one boss likes her very much and he's not good at hiding it at all, I know she's a capable employee but another who doesn't know her may dismiss her capability assuming she's got it easy because she's pretty and boss likes her.

Hey, even right here we have TS assuming all them handsome men and pretty women have it easy. I'll agree: yes it's easier (pretty privilege), but it's never a zero effort. As with luck -- you can work very hard and get less rewards than another luckier person. That so called luck can be simply good timing, or in this case, good looks. Whatever it is, luck is secondary; it's a catalyst to the primary: your effort.
