If you're good looking, do you think you're better, especially if your friends are ugly?

Would you get an ugly friend just to look down on him/her?


I dont consider myself too bad looking but OMG how vain do you have to be to do such a thing! Thats not a friend its a form of bullying!

I'm friends with people for their personality- looks don't come into it!

I don't care about looks when it comes to mates, I'm mates with lots of ugly people and lots of good looking people, it shouldn't make a difference to whether you like someone or not, that said, for some reason, most of my mates are good looking. :rolleyes:

If you become friends with someone purely to make yourself feel better then I don't know how you sleep at night.

If you consider yourself to be a better person because of your looks you need to grow up and live in the real world IMO.


People have a right to think that.

You have a problem if you find yourself thinking that you're better in terms of looks than other people. If you do, then consider this: are you better than them in any other ways? If you think so, you're arrogant. If you don't, you're balanced.

I've just realised how confusing that sounds. :redface:

Apparantly people choose friends who look closest to , or look like them - psychology explanation, people do that unconsciously

I dunno...there was this girl in my group in like year 11 (when girls are MEEEAN) and she just couldn't apply make-up, and was always orange, and we used to take the piss mercilessly. I guess in hindsight we were being mean, we were being bullies, but at the time it was just funny. And I guess maybe it did make us feel better about ourselves too. Who knows.

Ermmm but she is not your friend though... We are talking about your own group of friends here...

I'm generally regarded as being as ugly as sin and, frankly, if my mates all reckon they're better looking than me they're probably right. I don't particularly mind.

hmmm, well come to think of it, all my closest friends and i do have long straight hair....but i think that's where it ends! personally i like having pretty friends, it means you don't have to feel bad about whingeing about things that would make uglier people feel bad (for example, i'd have no problems moaning if i got ONE spot to my friends, but if they had bad acne, say, i'd feel bad).

it's weird though because although i don't consciously pick friends based on looks, i tend to feel a stronger disposition towards pretty people. don't flame me, i just feel more comfortable around pretty people and therefore make friends with them more easily. such is life.
