Video of woman complaining about being touched: "This happens to most beautiful/attractive/gorgeous women who have leaned heavily or primarily on their looks as their major asset in life... [The] preferential treatment that comes with being attractive just slowly starts to fade away." [+204]

In reply to iamambience on "Woman feels persecuted because she's attractive":

Thing is, she probably was "an attractive woman" at some point in her life. Which is why she has this attitude, and feels entitled to it.

It just hasn't dawned on her yet, that the preferential treatment she can get for being goodlooking has expired some years back. In her mind, the only change over the last decade is that everyone has for no reason just gotten more rude towards her.

This is 100% spot on.

This happens to most beautiful/attractive/gorgeous women who have leaned heavily or primarily on their looks as their major asset in life. (It happens less if a woman derives her self-worth from other areas, like motherhood or a job/career).

All of attention and preferential treatment that comes with being attractive just slowly starts to fade away. It'd be like if you were a major movie star, and your popularity fades over the years until no one cares who you are anymore. You used to walk in to a room and everyone ogled you, but now no one looks anymore. You used to be able to walk to the front of the large line and ask a question while other people waited, but now you get told to go wait with everyone else.

A lot of women just flat-out cannot handle this and live with this cognitive dissonance where they dress/act/talk like they're still young, unable to accept that their beauty has faded.

Every single one of us (except for Patrick Stewart, Julie Andrews, and Keanu Reeves) has to come to terms with losing our youthful good looks as our bodies inevitably age, decay, and breakdown in to a wrinkley saggy mess. People who have built the foundation of their identity and self-worth on their good looks have a major identity crisis later in life when they start to inevitably lose the most important part of themselves.

I've always viewed this as the double-edged sword of attractiveness.
