How are you NOT supposed to know if you're pretty?

Really? Annoying but not surprising - I tend to overuse that word far too often. I can't help it; it's my favourite word. Be thankful you don't mark my essays. Btw, I tend to define jejune as more immature and bland, but I appreciate you google defining it.
On topic - I didn't describe you as jejune, I described your post - pointless, accusatory and lacking in purpose. Unlike you, I'm not stupid enough to define someone I've never met, on posts of theirs I've seen on the internet of all places.

You're merely defining my posts, but I'm defining you as a person? How convenient for your argument.

not really

Firstly, this is in no way relating to personal experience! It was inspired by the 'Are guys intimidated by stunning girls?' thread.

A lot of guys are saying that they don't go for the girls who know they're good looking as they 'act like it', however, if a girl's pretty and gets told it often, they're obviously going to know it. So, if they know it and show it, that's not attractive, but if they know it and hide it, surely that's false modesty and equally unattractive?

I just think that, sometimes, pretty girls have a hard time as they're not supposed to act like they know it, despite having people (and mostly guys, who seem to be the ones that get most annoyed by it) telling them that they're good looking all the time. It must be pretty hard to know how to act, where you're damned if you do acknowledge it and damned if you don't, as people hate false modesty.

I don't look down on people who aren't pretty. I look down on people who make absolutely no effort whatsoever with their appearance. Never heard of make-up or tweezers, and always wear unflattering, big clothes. Them type of girls.

If you would care to expand upon your counter-argument?

why yes, yes i would care to expand upon my counter argument actually
if you're arrogant, you tend to think of yourself as something better than you actually are

if you are confident, you tend to know what is good about you and are not afraid to admit it

the difference is, arrogance is thinking, and confidence is knowing
additionally, arrogance is an attidude and confidence is a feeling

Well I can't argue with that.

well at least you aren't trying to

Why would I try to if I agreed with what you were saying?

haha
that's what i was saying

I think there are pretty girls who don't think they're particularly pretty but do get told they are pretty a lot. I think they assume they think every girl gets told it a lot by kind people.

I mostly agree but personally I'd define it like this:

yes, confidence is knowing you look good, knowing you're hot, accepting it, being happy with what you look like and comfortable in your own skin

but arrogance is showing it. Walking around like your **** don't stink, making other's aware of how much better you are, assuming that they will and must agree

The fact that you look down on anyone makes you a ****** person.

Because "knowing you're pretty" is arrogant. You can't 'know' that you're pretty. Beauty is subjective, you might be hideous to some, beautiful to others. If you "know you're pretty" that implies that you think you're pretty to absolutely everyone, that it's an undeniable fact - which it most certainly isn't. You can 'think' you are pretty, but 'knowing' you are pretty definitely implies arrogance, you assume that everyone finds you attractive.
