I think being too attractive can be trouble.
A woman would have problems with men all over her. A man would have problems with women fighting over him. The list goes on and on. As long as a person doesn’t look hideous than thats fine.

Honestly in a way beauty is power. But yeah there can be downsides. Depends on where you're focusing.
Personally I like being beautiful. It brings confidence but yeah it shouldn't define one's value. But thing is...it kinda does play a big role in how society views you. Society uses all sorts of reasons just to judge. It's off but it is what is happening out there.
Doesnt help that social media and mass media in general like to limit and categorize the definition of beauty. That's why people always want to look like someone else. It's a lesson learned the hard way when someone learns to love themselves and impove who they already are, see their own value and fight for their dreams without needing to step on another.
One would think it's something that should be taught in homes. But yeah, maybe there should be a lesson in schools about self worth and beauty.

I like being beautiful too but I’m not. I was always wanting to look like others. I wanted to look like singers, blondes and movie stars but that didn’t happen. I feel like women that are too beautiful are targeted by crazy men that won’t take no for an answer. I think brains are better to have than looks. It would be great to be beautiful with brains but I’m neither. I’m just a normal woman. @Casheyane

@SW-User No one who was great started out as great. I think people once thought of them as normal too until they decided to stand out.
But you know what? Each to one's own. Be the best you. Constantly improve you. You're your own competitor.
I have high standards for myself when it comes to beauty. That is part of being me and I love it. I love makeup and dressup and all other stuff I like. I like being good, an expert in my field and reading stories. But I also admire other girls and wonder how it feels to be in their shoes.
But maybe instead of letting those others make us feel down, we could just see them as inspiration. We're all women. Nothing is normal in who we are. We have the best gifts. We've got what we need. We only need to take courage and step up, be resourceful enough to utilize what are available to be the most of who we want to be. And constantly improve at that.
You're a woman. That's an asset dear.

@Casheyane I agree with you but when you reach your 40s beauty fades and it’s harder to maintain your looks. I try the best I can though.
