Do you think ugly people know they're ugly?

Question

You know how people always say that all parents think their children are cute even if they're not? Do you think that's possible? I can't imagine if you have an ugly child or you yourself are unattractive that you do not know it. I'm not saying that you could not have good attributes but all in all be "ugly". Or on the other hand you could have a really pretty face but be as big as the side of a barn, right? Anyways, just wondering..........

BTW
DON'T SHOOT!!!!! I NEVER EXCLUDED MYSELF

Hey I think I worded my question a little wrong. I didn't want to get into detail so I just kind of gave "what if's" but basically there is someone who HATES me and is constantly talking about how ugly I am and NO I am no beauty queen but trust me when I say compared to her I am. Inside and out!!!! She is evil and truly unattractive not just physically either. But, I thought maybe she actually thinks she is pretty and if so then by all means call me ugly. But, just seems a little hypocritical to me that's all. Hope that explains a little better. I was not trying to sound vain!

Answer 1

We know... we just don't care enough to dwell on it. ;-)

Answer 2

I dunno I always thought I was ugly lol. I've been told different...it really all comes down to personality that person could be a beauty queen and be the ugliest person because she has an ugly personality. The person you speak of could just very well be jealous or just mean hearted for that matter I really wouldn't know I would never out right say to someones face that they are ugly...I'm a little more considerate than that. An "ugly" person can also have more self esteem than that of a "pretty" person. It really is all in how you look at it and how both of you present yourself...the person you speak of to me would be "ugly" because she feels the need to put another person down by saying something to them that makes you wonder about yourself in a negative way. I often wonder what makes negative people so negative really! They obviously are making themself look bad by trying to make someone else feel like dirt in turn do they realize that? If they do is that why they become even worse...maybe it's just a vicious cycle of nastiness. Who knows if you or me or anyone is by definition ugly then why? Is it based on personality or looks.

Like I said above a really beautiful person can be ugly because their personality is lacking, and a really ugly person can be beautiful because they have a really great personality. It all depends on personal prefrence and what your defintion of ugly really is I suppose.

Answer 3

Human beings tend to blank out the worst in life. I am the cutest thing in the world. Just because the world has told me I am ugly does not mean they are right.
What I am trying to say is opinion does count. You deserve to be recognized for you strengths, telling everyone you think you are ugly does not help. Thank god for the INTERNET. The other side to your question is should you judge a book by its cover? If no, why emphasize the cover?
You should ask the ugly people around you, "do you think you are ugly?" and see what happens, then you will learn the value people place on beauty.

Answer 4

Ugly only if they allow themselves to be thought and treated as ugly. Ugly changes through out history and time.

Ex) in the 1960's roughly 20% fat on body for women, but today it is less than 1%!!! Women are thought as pretty today are under weight to their bodies size!!!

When women get that they are the ones the control business (they are the mass buyers, so if want social change women & better treatment in business stop!!! shopping at places that you know do this... Ex) WAL-MART had huge court cases that showed that white men were move up the management faster than the others (different colour people & all women)

If you liked what I wrote "Copy & paste" to other people so they know the truth and make some real change.

If you read this & do nothing, don't be surprized when you have to sit in the back of the bus again (I don't want you to so DO something ) & all women think & share this simply idea to others.

You hold them by the "balls" if you know what I wrote.

"Pay it Forward"......Now it's in your hands, so what are you going to DO???

Answer 5

Ugliness is shown by poor character, in time we all grow old and lose our youthful appearance. Ugly people are those that are selfish, hurt others, are rude, cheat, lie, steal, and do other evils. They don't have a conscious nor are they able to appreciate and enjoy the simple things in life, they are often filled with greed, envy, pity, and insecurity that they mask with their ugliness of character. Often they don't even like themselves, which explains their lack of commitment to exercise improvement and learning.

In the end the flesh weakens and becomes aged and deteriorates, but the heart and the soul can stay beautiful forever! Just look into the eyes of an wondrous beautiful senior their eyes, the gateway to the soul, never seem to age, but rather remain young and beutiful, I think that is intention of the Lord. I have never seen anyone who is happy, caring, giving, honest and smiling who isn't a pleasure to look at.

For an example of this watch the movie Mask with Cher.

Answer 6

I think everyone thinks they're ugly at least a little bit-or sometimes. I think the people who don't know they are ugly but really are-are the ones who are ugly on the inside and have to spend a lot of time bashing others to feel good about themselves. Someone fat can change the way they eat. Someone mean has to change who they are. Both doable, but society is much more likely to point out they are fat, first.

Answer 7

Most people are insecure about their physical appearance, and standards of attractiveness are often dictated by the society, culture, media and times in which you live. Comparing themselves against cultural ideals, most people will feel inadequate or "ugly" even if they are not.

At any one moment, the ugliest person in America might be considered beautiful somewhere else in the world and someone you think is gorgeous might be considered a dog in another culture.

Most people are average-looking, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Answer 8

I think the answer is in the intelligence of the person perhaps. I would say that people of average intelligence who are ugly will realize this fact eventually as they go through life. It's really inescapable and very depressing. This is why I'm for genetic engineering. No one should have to be ugly who does not want to be.

Answer 9

I fit that last part. I think (and I've been told) that I am pretty. But I'm fat. Oh well.

Ugly people sometimes don't know their ugly...I have a really ugly friend but she thinks she is gorgeous. Everyone can pick out at least one thing that they like about themselves, usually. They focus on that and it is where their self confidence comes from.

Answer 10

I think people tend to be their own worst critic. However, I think that people that put others down and judge others (like saying they are really ugly) probably don't feel good about themselves either. That being said, sure I believe I know what my flaws are, so I'd think that if someone was unattractive they would know it.

Answer 11

There is no standard of beauty. This is hard for most people to understand but careful observation reveals this. So called "ugly" people are getting laid, far more than you are in many cases. And often, the hot chick wonders why she isn't getting any,
