Tired of being just a pretty face

I know how you feel, I've lost a lot of weight, and the other day I went into a gas station that I only go to now and then, and the gal working the counter said "WOW.. you HAVE lost a lot of weight, You can see it in your neck and in your face!!"

Thanks... but, how big WAS my head? Apparently my head was the size of a manhole cover and no one told me. "Oh that's Chris, he's got a huge face, but we don't talk about it"

This is really funny to me, because the one place that I can actually tell that I've lost weight this early is my head -- my hats fit better!

Anyone else feel the same?!!

Don't worry... pretty fades.

so work on your education.

From across a crowded room nobody has ever said "Good God! Look at the intelligence on THAT girl!"

Right?! lol

I am far more attracted to intelligence than looks. Although they are a bonus. I am usually a little repulsed when I notice a pretty girl with the intelligence of a spoon.

Whaaaaaaa? But spooning leads to forking!!!! Where've you been, eh????

I've lost 100 lbs since I started my weight loss journey... I'm also looking for new friends to help me lose the last 16 pounds to achieve my dream goal weight.....(ANYONE CAN ADD ME!) if they are looking for motivation and support on your weight loss journey....:flowerforyou:

dude that's just messed up!

You do realize how cocky this made you seem, right?

You do realize how b*****y this made you seem, right?

To the OP: Yes, I know exactly what you mean...

Amen to that

Naw. I just walk around looking like a slob all the time. It's friggen amazing. I'm thinking about growing a beard, too.

I know some people don't understand that when they say, "you have such a pretty face", that they are actually telling you that the rest of your body doesn't look so good. So, yes, I can understand the slam but I think they are trying to give you a backhanded compliment. I wouldn't think anything about it. Some people just don't get it.

Yes!!! I've heard people say, "wow, you have such a pretty face"...and I wait for the other shoe to drop. People can be such jerks, even if they think they are complimenting you. Well, I do have a pretty face, and in a couple of months, I'll have a pretty figure to match!! So will you!! Good luck!!

I understand what the OP meant even if many people here didn't agree with the way it was phrased. One guy I met once asked me out to dinner. We spent the day together, hit up an arcade, grabbed a bite to eat had a great time. Two days later he calls and says he had an awesome day and I had a gorgeous face, but he doesn't date women my size. Personally, while I have no problem with people having "types" they will and will not date, taking me out on a date and acting like everything is great only to turn around and give me the, "You're pretty, but I don't date fat chicks." speech was fairly tacky. Go spend the day with a girl you would date instead of leading me on and wasting my time.

Clearly a lot of people don't understand what she's saying....And most likely because they're not plus size girls.

Many times we are giving a compliment....Instead of someone saying "Oh you're so pretty" or whatnot, they say "Oh you have such a pretty face!"....As if our face is the only thing that is pretty. Instead of all of us as a whole person isn't pretty....Just our face. People don't understand what they're saying when they say it. Its completely harmless...and actually meant as a compliment, until you think about exactly why to a plus size girl you would compliment just her face whereas a "normal" girl would just be pretty, period.

^^^ well said

To the OP: don't worry about the snarky remarks. It comes with being on the internet.... you have to take the good with the bad. ;-)

On a side note, when someone starts reaching for a compliment, my hair gets first dibs. (shrugs)

I don't...I've always been the smart girl. :sad:

But with that...I can't help myself...I feel a musical interlude..

"I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today."

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

Nah... I wish I was pretty and stupid and kind of weak willed. Like an attractive female Neville Longbottom. That type of girl always has a bunch of guys wrapped around her finger who will do anything for her and never has any problems other than the first world type. She has plenty of people to take care of her and her actions usually never really have serious negative consequences. Sounds like heaven.

You realize this never happens, right?
