If you're ugly and average, you're going to live a rough life. People barely tolerate average and almost no one tolerates whatever they perceive to be "ugly." Also these sort of threads highlight how differently men and women view common issues (self esteem linked to aesthetics). Women operate on a rule of one or rule of one type. If that person or that type isn't checking for them then no one is checking for them. Pretty insulting if you're simping or even just a friend of these women. Men are somewhat similar but we are not outright dismissive. We will acknowledge attention from all types and respond accordingly which can end up being cruel. But trust and believe, if a man says no one is checking for them, no one, is checking for them. Men and women often give each other piss poor advice, even if we mean well. We only understand certain struggles from our respective gender's standpoint.
