I strongly disagree! I have seen so many extremely physically ugly people and know quite a few of them. They are just plain ugly! Lots of them have HUGE moles and pot marks on their faces and others have tons of sagging skin and other freakish things on their bodies.

I watch people interact with these people and they are just plain mean and after years and years of this abuse the ugly people become ugly on the inside too.

I wouldn't know (or at least I'm told).

One question though that these two threads had me thinking; if someone tends to be overlooked (not ugly or extremely attractive, which are both relative anyway) does that mean they're considered average? I mean if extremely attractive people are supposedly treated nicely and ugly people are supposedly treated rudely?

I went to an extremely diverse high school in the 60's, and there was heated prejudice everywhere. But to this day I insist that the worst display of bully prejudice I witnessed was towards an obese PWT girl from a poor family. She dressed badly, had a pasty complexion, and had a big wart on her nose. Morbid obesity really stood out back then. Nicest person you could meet but she was very lonely. I talked to her in the bus. One day I walked along the hallway chatting with her and I noticed all the horrible glares people gave her, some moved away from her, as though she had a contagion. The look on her face still saddens me 43 years later.

And when I saw her a couple of years later she hadn't improved physically. Hopefully she blossomed in later years, as some do, and I hope she's had more happiness than some of her taunters.

I can't help wondering how it is to never have a guy wink or whistle at you, or even receive a compliment from someone. So, yes, I've witnessed the ugly side of being ugly on the outside. And it's ugly!

A friend was telling me about an extremely ugly girl in his hometown. He said she was the ugliest person he had ever seen in his life. Everywhere she went people stared, called her names, threw things at her, little kids cried, etc. She was very shy and had no friends.

She was so depressed that she wound up committing suicide at the age of 19.

I don't think people are ugly, I think everyone has their own unique beauty but I would add that a bad attitude would make person seem ugly!

Define "absolutely ugly" for me. I bet MY definition is different than YOURS.

so sad. People are so damn mean and shallow. Which to me, is the nature of this thread. Sad.

Being a nurse who has seen truly UGLY People (inside) I can say looks are VERY secondary to me. Personality affects a lot. I see the beautiful people who are so ugly inside they actually become much less attractive the instant they open their big fat mean mouths. And less attractive people who attract me because their personalities shine.
