How come you wrote that last part about society treating attractive people differently?[/quote]
How come you think ? What you think they don't treat a good looking person differently, you must be blind or naive thinking not.
They do alright, it isn't fair butttt, people will be people.
The type of person who refers to someone as ugly (whether they are attractive or not) is taken seriously in that they’re perceived as having psychological issues of their own. A good example: folks taking the time to follow/harass attractive women in social media. Obviously, if they were attractive (or happy) themselves, they’d have better things to do with their time - not to mention they wouldn’t derive pleasure from attempting to hurt others.
We make judgements relative to all social behavior/attraction. One who gloats will not be perceived favorably by most either; however, that’s different than simply acknowledging it or appreciating a compliment.
This type of person is extremely common, if not the majority, yet it sounds like you're undermining the prevalence of envy and jealousy in human beings. Let's not kid ourselves into pretending that society is wholly earnest 100% of the time. We're definitely prone to errors in judgement as well.

I’m not undermining its prevalence; in fact, I’m calling it out (relative to negative behavior). That said, there is a difference between one who feels jealous (or any other human emotion) vs. acting on such.

Yeah, I noticed that... Usually, the people making fun of attractive people on social media are pretty homely themselves lol..
I don't remember anyone not liking the handsome guys who were nice. Now the jerks, yes.
The guy in my graduating class who was voted most likely to succeed was a football player, tall, handsome, 3rd in the class and it seemed like everyone liked him. I didn't know him well, but he seemed nice and I never heard anything bad about him.
Now maybe I was just in different types of circles. Us nerds weren't trying to compete with them.
My point was this:
It's not a matter of "not liking" or labeling...but more subtle.Just a few words or phrases a casual acquaintance would utter....their underlying envy, jealousy and insecurity about their own image and physical features were telegraphed....

Like I said, I never saw any of that. Maybe it was the merely "above average" jealous of the "well above average." I wasn't in either group in HS or college.
