Isn’t the stereotype that “beautiful” people are often small-minded, shallow, narcissistic and materialistic? You’re so pompously fully of yourself, I can understand why people aren’t nice to you. I’m sure it’s dreadfully annoying to have to be around someone who think that they’re so beautiful that it matters enough to post it on an online forum where it’s absolutely irrelevant. </p>
<p>While you may be amazed by your classmates, I’m amazed by your na</p>
<p>In fact, it sounds like self-fufilling prophecy. Not only that, I doubt anyone else would agree with you that people at X school weren’t nice to me because I’m just so beautiful. The problem that it’s you doesn’t fall apart; again self-fufilling prophecy. </p>
<p>Another possibility is that the people at places like Stanford/UChicago realize how self-pompous you come off as, or how narcissistic you come off as and therefore don’t want to interact with you. </p>
<p>Or, those people at Stanford/UChicago are exactly like you and that makes you uncomfortable around them. </p>
<p>Of course, the same could be said for Princeton/Harvard.</p>
<p>So, no, in fact, you haven’t dispelled it being you.</p>
<p>Nope, I assure you I’m extremely nice and not conceited at all. Smart popular kids tend to get along with me really well. I’m not fake-modest though and that tends to get to some people. As usual, there is no shortage of haters out there.</p>
<p>I would like to add MIT to the list. I’ve been to a couple of their parties and MIT students are actually very cool. I really like the techie gays and bisexuals, but I especially loved the experimenting straights. The ones I met are beautiful, inventive, and innovative but conservative and not self-absorbed at the same time.</p>
<p>That awkward moment when people call themselves beautiful in all seriousness. Regardless of if you’re actually attractive or not, the fact that you felt the need to point it out and qualify it as a defining characteristic suggests that you’re extremely self-centered and narcissistic. The fact that some people at some colleges didn’t like you has nothing to do with your looks - these are some of the smartest students in the country. I bet they’re able to look past appearance when making a judgement on someone. Besides, you obviously think people are naturally drawn to true beauty. So clearly that’s not the reason they dislike you. In my opinion, they probably didn’t like you because you’re arrogant and annoying.
Also, you’re basing judgement on meeting a few individuals, but there are thousands of students at these institutions. So chilllll.</p>
<p>OP does not understand human sexuality or gender roles or just… anything… </p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>
<p>And sorry, I didn’t realize the OP came back to revive the thread… I had thought after how much myself and a large collective of other CC members had pointed out how absolutely utterly ridiculous and contradictory he was being, he wouldn’t have come back. How naive of me.</p>
<p>It’s very rare for somebody to be beautiful and not know it-- if you don’t think they know, they’re either just being humble to your face while secretly acknowledging to themselves they’re beautiful (in many cases precisely because they will get backlash for it, as the woman cited in the cited article did…the same is true for gays) or are just not self-aware (e.g. autistic…just as an example). I have enough respect for you guys to actually be REAL. Obviously, I don’t go around in real life saying I’m “beautiful.” I don’t acknowledge it at all. In fact, whenever my close straight guy friends tell me I’m “good-looking,” I usually cringe when there are other gays around in earshot because from experience, I know these gays would start giving me a hard time for it (out of jealousy).</p>
<p>To debunk your comments, PEOPLE ARE MEAN IN THOSE COLLEGES I MENTIONED BEFORE I EVEN ACTUALLY TALKED TO THEM, so it was strictly based on my appearance. I didn’t frown or show any negativity whatsoever (these were college visits after all). Thus, in all likelihood, their meanness was a reflection of THEIR insecurities regarding me, not my personality. For the record, most of those I actually talked to thought I was “the nicest person ever.” Unfortunately, some would get to know me and get annoyed precisely BECAUSE I am nice (they were looking for a reason to hate me but were disappointed to find out that when they got to know me, they realized I’m actually a good person)–they would play nice but their passive-aggressive side would come out, most likely out of jealousy.</p>
<p>As to the fist paragraph:
You are so incredibly pompous it’s utterly unbelievable - do you even listen to yourself talk?</p>
<p>" I know these gays would start giving me a hard time for it (out of jealousy)." </p>
<p>For your information, your highness:
(1) I’m gay and I don’t care if someone is better looking than me – there’s more to a person than how they look
(2) If you actually think people are jealous of your pompous, obnoxious, self-imporant, self-proclaimed beautiful self, wake up and smell the roses. We don’t care about you. In fact, myself and a great number of my gay friends DESPISE people like you – not because you’re good looking; but because of how self-important, self-righteous and pompous you are.</p>
<p>For the second paragraph:
No one can be mean to you before you talk to them – unless they’re making mean gestures at you? </p>
<p>And for the rest of the paragraph, there’s just so much self-important, self-praise, etc. it’s just ridiculous. NO ONE IS JEALOUS OF YOU – how difficult is it to understand this – especially if they know your attitudes. </p>
<p>Do EVERYONE a favor and go away.</p>
<p>P.S. I would LOVE to know where you go to school, so I can avoid it like the plague.</p>
<p>I just think it’s a hilarious concept how these people had an immediate vendetta against you based off <em>your looks</em>. I think you’re paranoid, extremely self-conscious, and arrogant in that you assume their lives (at that moment) REVOLVED around you. Maybe they had just gotten out of an extremely tough test. Maybe their boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with them. Maybe they were simply having a tough day.</p>
<p>You know you’re contradicting yourself, right? You say people are naturally drawn to beautiful people (the psychology article) but then these people immediately hated you for it.</p>
<p>Is this post about colleges or your supposed beauty. Considering most people aren’t gay and while it isn’t hated most guys are impartial toward it I find it awfully hard to believe that the guys at Dartmouth were so delighted to have a gay male in their frat. Stop it with the whole egotistical rant about your beauty. I honestly can’t tell if you are insecure, have a false sense of confidence or are just trolling. Your beauty has nothing to do with college campuses. Leave it out or get out.</p>
