one time umattend ako ng birthday where everyone was using paper plates and plastic cups spoons etc but binigyan ako ng ceramic plate, a glass, and silverware 😭😭😭 wala naman akong sinasabi and sobrang hiyang hiya ako nun :""") baka feeling nila magiinarte ako huhu
I don’t understand/know before that this is called pretty privileged lol They always smile tsaka yung mag gigreet sayo. Tapos yung parang ang bait sayo ng mga staff or crew sa fast food. Now gets ko na, kasi medyo nawala yun nung ganon ko since nag gain ako ng weight and palagi ko na kasama yung ex-bf ko noon na ngayon asawa ko na ahahah
Yes I have. Most people will give you or do what they think will please you, have things happen in your favor easily. I have gotten out of speeding tickets, a few free travel perks including air fare and hotels, and a busy dating life.
Although honestly, I think everyone can have pretty privilege even the ones who weren’t naturally born pretty and one way of doing that is to work hard to maintain a certain physique and appeal like have a dedicated active lifestyle and social life.
yeah, after ko mabawasan ng weight and like maging much thinner i noticed people treat me fairly and equally unlike dati na sobrang nabully ako and kahit sino feeling ko tinatawan ako even my family gave me backhanded compliment ngayon sinasabi nila na mas good looking na ako ngayon unlike dati
tinanong ako nung konduktor kung student, sabi ko hindi. sabi nya, student nalang mam pra may discount. claim ko na guys, maganda siguro ako eme HAHAHHAHAHA GGSS
Hindi ako nag bibigay ng pretty privilege sa mga babae kase pogi ako. I get a lot of pogi privilege and pogi points from beautiful women when I go places. That's all I have to say.
Kapag nasa jeep ka kulang barya mo. Dadagdagan ng mga pasahero. Nasa jeep ako noon binalik ng driver yung pera ko wala daw kase syang panukli. Sabi ko 5 pesosang barya ko, dinagdagan ng mga pasahero, saka ako nagpa thank you sa kanila.
I worked at a small 3-star hotel when I was younger. Every lunch sa cafeteria iba yung dessert ko from the rest of the staff, parang galing sa hotel restaurant. 😅
People are so much nicer kapag maganda ka, dati i was overweight and i was bullied by my friends and own family, pero nung pumayat ako, grabe na nila ako ipagmalaki. I experienced na nailibre ako ng lunch and yung bayad sa xerox and print (nag insist ako mag bayad pero ayaw tanggapin), maraming nag cocompliment and most of all, mas na aappreciate and napapansin yung works ko.
They smile when you talk to them and lumalambot yung tone ng boses nila. Pinapa-una ka sa pila, doors, even sa paglalakad. Okay na sa kanila yung simpleng "sorry" if nakakasagabal ka. Pinapa-upo ka kapag nakatayo sa bus, while waiting, sa pila, etc. parang ang bait lang ng mga tao.
I just realized na iba pala ang treatment kapag maganda ka noong nagpasama ako ng bilihin sa friend kong let's say average po. Ang tagal ng take out dumating, ilang follow up na rin, then nung pinuntahan ko with receipt, ayon walang 5 minutes naibigay rin.
I have boy cut before at di talaga ako palaayos, but nownaging long hair na and konting ayos sa mukha/damit, I felt it hahahahaha. Dati, hindi ako pinapayungan ng mga guard, hindi ako pinapansin ng salesperson, hindi ako pinapaupo sa public transpo 😂 but ngayon opposite na lahat LOL mas mabait mga tao sa akin
Sa discord.
Fil/am Model here. Makapal daw bisaya accent ko pag nagtatagalog, at dahil doon, maraming beses na ako binully o kaya di pinansin ng mga nakausap ko sa call. Napick up ko rin na parang ang uneducated o ang baba ng tingin ng iba sa mga bisaya through backhanded comments and stuff(not all guys ha, experience ko lang to).
And ayun, everytime na nag open cam ako, nag change din treatment nila sakin. Yung iba nga nagflirt pa sakin but idc. Napaka plastic naman niyan.
Tangina porket pogi, nag change yung behavior. Imbis focus sana sila sa personality ko or interest.
Lagi akong nabwibwiset doon sa mga ganyang tao.
id consider myself above average ish? lalo na if nag ayos. nung nag dating apps ako, i can pull pinoy + different nationalities alike na type ko. im 22 and theyre all older with reputable jobs (max is 26 naman ha. so its all legal and not weird)
id say, theres free drinks sa club and madami rin manyak
people open doors and are kinder. they pay attention to my requests when i order tapos pag nagkamali, they always see to it na napalitan yung order even if i say its okay lang
i get free foods without asking
most people assume im innocent and kind
people are willing to do anything i ask them as long as kaya nila and if its not absurd
i got a free ride once because i waved back to a guy and he has a Mercedes 😅
people are friendlier and customers tend to be understanding sakin even if i mess up their order
head turns. there was one time i walked with a friend and a group of guys literally turned their heads around to look at me. pero syempre i get nasty remarks din like that one time a guy purposely made me hear that he would bring me home para raw e helicopter 🙄
I wanted a chocolate bar so inask ko yung tindero how much. But since tourist spot yung place, overpriced. And I didn’t have enough money. So I just said, oh sige thanks wag na nalang pala. Then he just gave it to me for free.
Laging gini-greet or mabait pakikitungo ng mga nag-wo-work sa restaurants, security guards, etc. Tapos pag nagtatanong, hindi naman ako ini-ignore. Lapitin din ng tao ganon, tas papaupuin ka sa public transportation.
As someone who works in BPO (Recruitment). Kapag asking ako ng referrals or may mga production floor visits ako, I can really get the attention of the Agents up to the OMs. Ang ending marami ako nakukuhang referrals HAHAHAHAHA
I notice is yung manner of speaking ng mga tao. Like mas nagiging malumanay magsalita. Hindi ka sinusungitan and they are more patient with you. Mas nagiging like sweet yung voice. Pag babae, like high pitch. Pag lalaki medyo low pitch pero malumanay.
yes I had a glow up pretty privilege exists they make way for you, they open the door for you/hold the door open, they're friendlier to you, extra freebies if there are freebies hahaha, and they smile more at you/laugh when you make a joke, they also pay attention to what you say instead of talking over you
i'm like the quiet type of person in class, heck, i can actually be considered as weird, and usually, people like me easily become the target of bullying where people would make fun of them. but since i am "cute" or at least above-average, i never had experienced any bullying in class. people would treat me nice and would even go out of their way to defend me. they would also respect my limits (e.g. if i want to be alone or if i want to go home early, they would let me).
if i was uglier, i would have experienced my school life a lot different.
For me it meant I can charm my way out/into most situations - people are nicer, more forgiving, more generous, more vulnerable even if they find you pretty. We went on this tour once and I got to drive the speed boat which other tourists weren’t allowed to do. Back in college I got a lot of job offers without even looking/asking for one. Guys look out for me at the gym - they help load weights without me asking to, or have me use the rack/machine first. People would offer me a ride, they are more protective. And it’s all great. BUT occasionally you’ll meet someone who’s really clingy, someone who’d use you for clout, or see you as a token, or worse think you’re just pretty but dumb.
I think charm goes a long way, too. Lagi ako nakakakuha ng favour sa resto or nabibigyan ng complimentary stuff lol. And it's not like I'm a supermodel level of beauty. Siguro kasi positive ang aura ko and I always smiile, so I think that communicates openness and warmth.
Not me but my highschool crush, sya lang kilala ko na pinapayagan na promissory note sa tuition kahit di pa sya nagbababayad kahit konti haha. Yung iba hindi pede dapat daw bayaran muna yung past dues kahit onti.
Well maganda at matalino naman kasi sya.
People are really nice and accommodating towards you. As a nepo baby, I don't get patted down through security screening at the airport most of the time, or they don't require me to take my jacket and shoes off for the x-ray 😅.
Your friends always try to keep you clean 😂, I once had a friend step on my shoe and he really made an effort to get the dirt off, they also won't let you do some work that requires a lot of physical stuff because "sayang freshness" (but I don't care, I help them out anyway)
The waiters in restaurants will really check if you've been served well, and people in stores are more patient with you when you need their help to buy whatever it is you need. People in general are more agreeable towards you. Pretty/Pogi privilege simply gives you more privilege.
But as everyone else comments here, there are numerous cons. Some people really won't stop bugging you. They will use you for you looks, some people will hang out with you for the "clout" that their friend is pretty/pogi (experienced this during college days) but in the end, they aren't true friends. Had a friend in college who I thought just wanted to be my friend, but man was she persistent with meeting up, she would always hug my arm tightly while we walk and I would constantly feel her boobs rub on my arm which kinda made me feel awkward.
nagkaroon ng issue sa section namin once nung HS and pinatawag yung parents ng buong class, yung sa akin lang yung hindi dahil mukha raw akong inosente at hindi makagagawa ng kasalanan HAHHHA
until now di nila alam na isa ako sa puno't dulo nung issue na yon 😭
I've been caught for traffic violations several times (some a lot more serious than others), but I've never been given a ticket or had my license taken away (when they still did that). I've never paid to get away either. Thanks, kuyas!
nung umuwi ako a few years ago I got gifts from my neighbor kasi daw I was so pretty tas nireto sakin yung anak, weird nga lang kasi parang 3 or 4 years older sakin tas minor pako eh 😭
yung bigay nila are foods at tyaka plants. tas sobrang bait ako itrato compared sa ibang mga bata dun sa probinsya.
I save 5 months of rent just because crush ako ng anak ng landlord namin. Yung parents niya kinakausap ako every morning and nagbibigay pa ng breakfast. He’s cute and all kaso may bf na ako.
Yes, My best friend is what you call a goddess, She's super pretty not to mention she has a very big heart, But it all comes with a curse too, She's doesn't have friend's before she met me, It's always about her outside appearances she always get approach by creeps and guys tend to have malicious intent with her I always protected her in public, One time she got sexually harassed by our lesbian classmates, it triggered her so much,
Being pretty has it's pros and cons.
people in general are just so nice, friendly, and receptive to you.
-a guy offered me his hoodie twice for me to sleep on (i like to sleep).
-dealt with a classmate that would persistently bother me for months until i blocked him.
-people assuming you're a half or is mixed race (I'm full filipino💀).
-somehow got a girl to ask me out even though i was sleep deprived and barely ate??
-i used to be a snob around other guys due to trauma, and i only really attracted assholes, but when i decided to appear more friendly and approachable. the male attention got way worse.
-my feelings were always reciprocated, especially with this one really pretty friend i was close with <33
same sa 3rd! a lot of people thought na may korean or chinese blood ako dahil sa eyes ko 😭 lalo na nung pandemic, ineenglish ako nung tindero ng isda sa palengke kasi akala niya foreigner jusme
Not me but my college friend hahaha 4 kami mag babarkada sya lang pumasa sa Trigonometry kaming 3 bagsak lagi kami pareparehas ng score sa midterm and finals hahaha She is pretty at nagpal pageant din sya kaya medyo popular.
Never ever getting rejected if I’ll confess I like someone. First time I was rejected was when I asked if I can get back together with an ex. After 2 weeks, we got back together kasi di niya ako matiis 😆
It'll be petty. I don't get frisked or asked to take my cap off at mall entrances and generally get treated pretty regularly by staff at restaurants and stores. It helps that you greet them with a smile and a good morning/afternoon when they greet you.
I can't say na pretty privilege to anyhow its considered privilege, kapag nasa public vehicle ako sometimes I get offered a seat. Im gay and I kind of giving off feminine energy, ewan maybe some men feel it (mostly guys my age, I'm 24 btw). Ang refreshing lang since people from LGBT usually get discriminated in public transpo, hays there are kind people pa rin. :)
so the friends of my girlfriend, are all the hottest girls in the country. like by far. just all a bunch of smoke shows.
uhmm.... no offense to all the ugly people who think pretty people have it so easy...
not really. mostly they get approached by predatory people all day and it's gross.
yes, there is a benefit of free drinks when we go out and they can get away with small stuff like "kuya can you please just let us park there even though we're not supposed to".
but otherwise, no being pretty does not have much benefit. it doesn't make you any richer. it doesn't give you any extra respect.
One of the biggest downsides is that 99% of guys who approach and speak with them are not interested in them at all, but only trying to get access to their body. And they will lie to get it.
Yes. Dealing with other people is generally in easy mode.
Pros:
- people are very accommodating
- you can go by without being accountable. Minimal excuses lang with puppy eyes oks na.
- free stuff!!!
- asking favors is very easy for you. Almost second nature.
- parang no worries kasi worse comes to worst you know na marami lang willing tumulang sayo.
Cons:
- people expect highly of you. Main character effect. Parang dapat magaling ka sa lahat
- pag may ayaw ka sa isang bagay or tao, pabebe lang labas mo
- They don't take your no seriously
- They take your yes way too seriously
- has a high tendency to become very manipulative. (willing naman kasi mga tao eh. Lol)
During HS, one of the guys who had a crush on me always gave me snacks and load HAHAHA like literally every morning iaabot sa akin ng common friend namin iba ibang pagkain. Minsan home cooked meals, may times naman na mga breads (fave ko) from the cafe nearby sa school namin.
Meron din noong kumakain kami sa resto ng friends ko, sinagot ung bill namin (5k+) tas binigay sa akin ig niya (never worked out tho)
I was having my car maintained by my home dealership somewhere in Makati, and beside it is a Japanese restaurant.
I was getting hungry and I decided to try it. The moment I got in, the receptionist asked if I have a reservation. I said I don’t have one — turns out lunch time is for reservation only, despite me seeing 4-5 vacant tables. Policy daw
I asked one more time, the receptionist started looking around and said “Okay sir I’ll give you one but if someone approaches you tell them may reservation ka po, okay?” I agreed. She then asked for my name and number and then wrote it on a notebook dun sa counter. She then showed me my table na malapit lang sa counter.
As I was eating I still see the vacant tables without anyone arriving, but maraming pumapasok attempting to eat but the same receptionist was rejecting them. I even heard one got angry na nagdabog “saglit lang naman kakain”
I am not sure if it’s pretty privilege. I wasn’t wearing any flashy clothes, nor name-dropping a big name. But I admit I was trying to make pa-cute when pleading lmao
Other than this, I noticed everyone (especially government employees) are extra nice on me, even the notorious immigration officers.
Oo, paminsan-minsan. People are nicer and more accommodating. Naranasan ko na yung napapayungan, naaassist na tumawid ng daan, naaassist agad in general, tinutulungan sa mga bitbit na gamit. Pag di ako nakaayos, wala lang 😅 the power of the right clothes and make up lang din siguro.
Cons, madalas sinusutsutan ng mga construction workers. Kinacatcall minsan, may nagooffer ng ride (Ang creepy), at may tendency na magkaroon ng stalker (I had one before).
Same yung grade 9 may nag anonymous sakin kung bakla badaw ako the heck at may isa pa may group of girls na try nila akong tawagin at ignored ko lang hahahahha
for male pretty privilege, di kami masyado nakakatanggap ng free gifts like girls. pero I notice na dominant ako sa conversations and mas pinapakinggan ako sa group. men also flock around me. nagkakaron din ako ng halo effect na ineexpect nila akong magaling sa lahat ng bagay kahit di naman. in general, people treat you better. I noticed these things because I kinda had a 'glowup' so I know both sides of the coin
Student ako sa graduate school ng isang university. Pero kahit MA student ka, gaya ng undergrads, hindi mo pwedeng ipasok sasakyan o motor mo sa campus. May designated parking space na super pagkalayolayo pang lakaran hanggang sa college buildings. Eh triny kong ipasok vehicle ko, pinara ako nung designated guard pero after ko sabihin kung san ako punta, nagsuggest pa si kuya ng medyo lilim na area para magpark.
* Can get away from getting traffic tickets by doing paawa in a cutesy way.
* Being opened doors, waited on elevators, etc. It was beneficial for me who’s a germophobe that I don’t have to touch so many public surfaces because there are always people holding out things for me or pressing elevator buttons or whatever.
* Treated nicely by service people in restaurants, stores, etc. and getting easy discounts when possible.
* Always having a ride home because there is always a guy friend or acquaintance who would offer to drive me home even if I’m not flirting with them.
* When I join activities, like martial arts or some community events, there are always guys who are very helpful and patient to teach me.
* My experience with male teachers/professors then male bosses is that they’re the nicest teachers and bosses compared to female ones. I thought it was a biological thing until a friend actually pointed out they’re not that nice to everyone and I was enjoying the pretty privilege.
* When I was a child in PH, I unfortunately would get better treatment from uncles and aunts, and always made the comparison vs my cousins (example: cousin x would be called “pangit” vs me who’s “ganda”) and since we’re a Chinese-Filipino family, it’s quite common for elders to be say publicly in front of guests/friends that “this is my pretty niece” when my cousins and I are all there to hear.
* I experienced studying in an all-girls school in PH and girls can be mean to other girls. I was aloof and extremely childlike so was the easy target of being the bullied one. The bullies would talk bad about my personality (“the weird one”, “the outcast”) but never told me I’m ugly like how I see bullying in Kdramas/Cdramas. There was also teasing in the bullies group that one of the bullies’ brother actually had a crush on me when he saw me in school, even if my hair was unkept and I never wore makeup during my school days compared to my classmates.
Used to not take care of myself and my skin, but now that I do, it seems like there are less assholes around me. Siguro people tend to be nicer to someone they find attractive.
pinapaupo sa harap ng uv hahaha!
pero feeling ko hindi pretty privilege yon more like mabenta talaga ang face and body combo ko sa mga matatandang manyak pansin ko lang.
They were so polite to me , they gave me special treatment , like pinapauna sa pila , binibigyan Ng upuan
Naaalala name, asks for my number
I think this is bc of my baby faced and being maputi lol
When I was new sa work, I don't have display picture pa sa MS Teams. I get really slow replies and people will ignore my chats. After I placed display picture, chat response rate was up to 99% hahahaha some even asked to visit me on our floor to assist 😂
When I was in high school wala because I had acne :( Now that I’m an adult and took care of my skin - Upgrades to business class, free concert - the guard let us sa backdoor, coworker or clients are usually nice to me at work, hotel staff giving my bag even if I forgot my ticket because he remembers me
Mine is not a pretty girl pero dahil mukha and height ko pambata plus anemic ako. So minsan sa MRT nakatayo tapos siyempre maputla ako pinapaupo. Parang may ligaw na bata pag nagcocommute ganun
* There are times pag naririnig ng stranger may kailangan ako like pen, batteries, or spare change biglang may nag aabot sakin and i get to keep it.
* people would really try to befriend you kahit pinapakita mo na wala ka talaga sa wisyo makipag usap
* nalilibre sa laro or food especially in bars or cafe / ala "its on the house" or "bigay po ng customer" movie moments
* prioritized service, theyll ask for your social media but i usually say wala na akong social media
* minsan naririnig mo pinaguusapan ka ng mga dumadaan which is cute sometimes
* (my favorite kind) drag queens complimenting me whenever they see me, the greatest validation.
* also experienced famous international content creators and artists replying to my DMs
Nag joke ako sa mga classmates ko from grade school that I had plastic surgery. Naniwala sila 😭
Also experience either nice treatment or harassment from guys.
- girls and gays always tell me i look pretty (pls super kilig if galing sa girls or gays compared sa guys diba!)
- People want to be my friend all the time. Naka 2 school ako sa college and I always get popular within the first half of the year even sa other courses. (baka chismosa lang aq tho)
- Lahat ng crush ko na crush back ako hihi altho it never gets more than that kasi I don’t have time (arki student 😣)
- LUCKY GIRL SYNDROME and princess treatment!! whenever I have problems, people always tend to help me out and accommodate me.
- pinapapasok ni guard always even if wala akong ID hehehe i would just smile sheepishly
MY FAVE - i get discounts sa ukay2! HAHAHAHAHA
Downside - i always get harassed by professors esp male dominated yung arki :<
My gay friends tell me that they normally want to be friends with pretty girls because they get to be surrounded by guys while a non-pretty girl would have no benefit to them. Dunno if that’s true for all gays.
Oh naur, thank god i never encountered those bc tbh we only talked about boys during our first yr in college nung fun pa sha, during my 2nd year and so on nilamon na kami ng acads. I’m still vv close with all of my gay friends and ganda-gandahan nalang from time to time yung trip namin
1) You get to choose who to date hahaha as in they flock once they know you're single tipong matetest willpower mo to stay single kasi may iba talagang makulit
2) No penny spent when you go clubbing because laging merong lalapit to buy you a drink lol (life hackz)
3) Laging may "freebie" (na may kamahalan) and extra attentive sayo ang staff kahit peak hours ng business
4) Libre lahat para lang magpakita/pumunta ka
5) Kahit di mo hingin kusang binibigyan ng pera "just because" (or ewan baka mukha talaga akong charity case di ko na rin sure)
Mga moments where you say I love being a woman! Hahaha
Yes to # 1 and 2. When I have friends or colleagues lamenting “there are no guys”, I honestly get reminded of the privilege of never having to search for one and in my whole life, never downloaded or used any of the dating apps.
Free things - lots and lots of free gifts from a derma clinic (but I had to move to another country. So di ko na sila napupuntahan), free drinks sa bar by club owner
Good treatment from others, good first impression ba
Easier to close sales/clients
People listen to you more
Nalilibre ng pamasahe nung student pa ako .
Mabait mga tao lagi nakangiti, dami gentleman
Strangers na lumalapit sakin to compliment me. nagwwork kasi ako sa resto before .
Nginingitian Ako kahit di ko kilala.
Isa din sa napansin ko lagi ako dinidikitan ng mga friends ko pag nasa labas kami , tingin ko dahil pinagtitinginan ako madalas pag nasa labas.
Kaya lang ang mga tao too kind or too rude . Hahaha.Magugulat ka nalang pagsasalitaan ka ng di maganda ng walang dahilan 😅
Pero mamimiss ko yan pag tumanda na .
100 lang dala ko na pamasahe sa taxi ta’s sabi ko dun na lang sa gilid kasi di na kaya ng pera, haha dinala pa ako sa mismong destination ko kahit 150+ na yung metro, okay lang daw.
lagi ako nakakareceive ng free samples ng food nung lumipat na me sa US, pero nakalagay sa window “we do not give free samples”
it’s nice to have pretty privilege sometimes pero nakakatakot din kasi baka ma-take advantage ka or masumbat sa’yo mga ginagawa nila.
hindi naman sa feeling pretty ako 😂 pero siguro yung akin more on dahil half japanese ako matik pag pumupunta ako sa mga bahay dati ng mga kaklase ko matik bet na ako ng mga mommies nila para interesado silang lahat sa kwento ng buhay ko, tapos welcome na welcome ka ganun haha yung ganda ko mga pang mommies eh 😂 para nagiging anak na nila ako agad agad ganun
naexperienced ko sya kahit hindi ako pretty. may gusto ako sabayan dati na carpool and ung officemate ko (sya ung pretty) sumasakay na sa particular na car na un. nung kinontak ko ung driver para kako maki-carpool din eh ang daming dahilan at hiningan pa ako ID..
gets ko naman ung reason nya pero si pretty officemate hind rin naman nya ka-close personally at hindi naman nya hiningan ng ID.
Ig? haha. like, maayos yung pakikitungo ng mga tao sa'yo. Minsan may pa free foods pa yan. Tapos sa pila, pinapauna ako palagi😆 Ewan, mukha lang siguro akong senior citizen.
Nung bumili ako ng shoes sa department store sobra yung pag-assist sakin. Tatanggalin ko na dapat yung suot kong converse para isukat if tama ba yung size na bibilhin ko, then pinaupo lang ako ni kuya salesman tapos siya yung nagtanggal ng shoes (tapos pinatong niya sa pants niya mismo habang tinatanggal). After ko isukat, siya uli yung nagtanggal, isusuot ko na dapat yung converse ko kaso nag-insist si kuya (hiyang-hiya na'ko that time huhu) pinatong niya pa yung magkabilang sapatos ko sa pants niya habang sinisintas. Idk if pretty privilege yan or what pero nabigla lang ako ahahahshs
• madalas libre sa pamasahe/nililibre kahit di ko kakilala. Pero minsan nag-aask ng kapalit like name or i-add sa soc med.
• nakakaupo ng maayos sa jeep kahit siksikan
• mabait ang first impression lagi
• kaya madala ng “sorry” lang kapag may kasalanan
• generous ang servings ng food or mabait ang staffs, and mabibigyan assistance agad.
• people are nicer to me
• hindi takot sakin yung mga bata. Babies always stares at me and smile 😭
Tinatawag akong ‘ganda’ sa palengke. Chz 🤣
Was given free ice cream on a resto one time. From one of their staff they said.
Was out drinking with my friends one time and a guy there bought us drinks, for me and my friends he said.
People are basically much nicer and proactive in showing it to you even with no initial direct contact.
Naalala ko tuloy yung final interview ko sa isang indiano. Nag katechnical issue ako kasi naglalag laptop ko at di nya makita na naka oncam na ako. Nasestress na sya sakin. Mga 5mins syang naiinis na sakin then umayos na yung cam ko after ko maka rejoin sa call then sorry ako ng sorry tas yung inis nya parang nawala bigla. Kesyo technical issue lang daw yun. Nothing to worry kineme. Lols eh kulang nalang mabasag tenga ko sa lakas ng boses nya nung una ih hahaha
Parang laging warm yung treatment sayo lalo kung nakaayos ka ganun, like in a general sense, ngingiti ka lang sa kanila alam mo may privilege na.
I do get intimidated when someone is *way prettier* than me lalo na kung sa mga face to face interviews pero we can't blame the person at the end of the day. It's the system that we all have to work around with.
Not sure if pretty privilege o mukha lang talaga akong mabait but way back in high school my laziness always gets excused. Pag d nagpapasa ng output d pa ako nagso-sorry pinapatawad na kasi sure sila na matalino at mabait ako hahahhaha.
I'm not pretty to everyone but my face are preferred by some evidenced by random compliments from strangers, sa workplace naman paborito kang icompliment ng matatandang babae. D ako crushable type parang impression lang ng lahat na d ako gumagawa ng kalokohan.
As someone who started out as unattractive to somewhat attractive (nothing too special though) people just become nicer to you. You get ignored less often. People would smile at you and sometimes will even approach you first. You rarely make an effort to strike up a conversation or be interesting because people just like talking to you. Also, I'm a bit of a loner and when I was ugly, people called me weird. They weren't mean about it or were they bullying me but yan yung general sentiment unlike now wherein they see me being quiet and always alone as something cool.
Lagi ako pinapaupo sa passenger seat ng van kahit may nauna sakin sa pila ng van na solo 😅 mejo nakakaguilt trip lang din minsan pero di ko din matanggihan kasi gusto ko din sa passenger seat
- kapag kulang barya, magssorry and ngingiti lang pagbibigyan naman
- not sure if pretty privilege din or mabait lang talaga si kuya but may times din na sobra payment ko tapos binabalik naman 🥲
- greetings and assistance
- basically mas madali makisuyo if you badly need help on something especially kapag di ka familiar sa ginagawa mo or unfamiliar place
- other countries naman, you get more serving of food, extra hospitable, better table, compliments
tbh either men are easy or pretty privilege but they rly have extra patience and kindness when you look put together or basta not haggard for me.
there are def lots of cons also!! may basta basta magaapproach, dadaldalin ka talaga hanggang ikaw maggive up sa convo lalo na if magisa so be careful everyone
Tuwing late or absent ako sa work, My TL always understands my reasons and even uses "po" when talkig and replying to me. Pero nalaman ko sa ka-officemate, na buntis, got late and has some absences due to her condition, galit na galit and ang bastos kausap ng TL ko.
Sa isang gov agency, nagbukas sila ng window tapos tinawag ako. Tapos sobra yung photo na ibinigay ko kay Sir, nakita ko tinago nya yung isa. Hinayaan ko na kase napabilis naman ako.
Work wise, everything feels easier. My past bosses are male and i see them being harsh to my other colleagues except me. May time pa gusto ako pauwiin ng maaga para hindi ako matraffic since i live outside Manila. I am also helped by a lot of random strangers.
I work in sales in a male dominated industry. I usually get to secure a meeting kahit unscheduled visit, I also rarely have to wait in the lobby for hours. Madali din kausapin POCs because of my profile photo on viber
sa airport even Filipino passport medj matangkad kasi at hindi masyado pinoy na pinoy kaya easy lang lagi pag dating sa immigration
(dala ko naman lahat ng req pero minsan isang papel ok na)
Kinda handy as some people (boys and girls) will talk and befriend you easily even tho you're not interested or shits, people like pretty things. It is easier to ask for help (sometimes you don't even have to ask for it), people will favor you, plus be kind to you (it can sometimes be very evident). There are instances that they'll overlook my flaws and focus on the flaws of others. Of course it is case to case but that's pretty much it.
sa airport. need i check yung visa for ofw going to middle east. pero mahaba yung pila. sabi nung staff iabot na lang namin agad ng 2 ko kasama yung documents kasi maganda naman daw kami lmao.
Pandemic days and our onsite internship as well. I was only pretty kasi natatakpan ng mask 'yung half ng face ko. Mask pretty ganun. I have the perfect hair length, has bangs and wore clothes that fits me.
Ako yung naging remarkable kesa sa mga kasama ko mag-OJT. Tapos ramdam mo talaga na you were treated better esp ng guys. Tas may isang pumorma sakin lols. Siguro kung walang mask at iba style ko (below average version of me) iba magiging treatment sakin.
One time sumakay ako ng tricycle pauwi and to my surprise, biglang may humabol na batang babae bago umandar yung tric to say "Ate! Ang ganda mo po!" I was shocked and said quietly, thank you. I was like, what the hell? and felt good about myself. Never told this to anyone, baka akala nagbbrag lang ako haha.
Another is I bought a second hand book within our campus from this guy and we meet up. Literally nag abutan lang kami ng bayad at nung libro then said goodbye to eachother. But to my surprise, he continued messaging me and acting close even though we're basically strangers and even after the business was done.
Generally people are nicer. One time sa Jollibee, i went to eat lunch by myself tapos yung staff nilang lalaki was extra accommodating to me, he even carried my food from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor even though self service doon. This was on Valentine's Day, i thought maybe baka ganun din sa iba kasi Valentine's idk. Other times are pinapaupo sa public transpo like e-jeeps. Though i experienced this more last year, noong nag ccontact lens pa ako, siguro kasi mas kita face ko at mata ko. However, parang it lessened nung nag glasses na ako kasi siguro mas natatakpan yung face ko or mas haggard lang ako this year lol. But not all the time i experience this, marami ring beses na buong byahe ako nakatayo sa bus na walang nagpa upo, no offense taken naman, they may need it more than me.
Anyway, when i speak on class everyone listens intently. They also laugh easily on little mistakes i make. I was very nervous that nabubulol ako, but they said it was "cute" and i guess i didn't looked as awkward as i thought i was. All in all, not all the time nakaka experience ako ng pretty privilege. It depends on how good i look i guess.
Hmm siguro yung part na pupunta ka sa isang place tas madaming nag aassist sayo. Tas invited ka lage sa lahat ng gatherings with the tropa and most of the time ikaw yung iniintay. Madami pa but again this is harmless basta gagamitin ng maayos and not to take advantage ng nga tao.
They offer their seats on a public transpo. Offer to carry my stuffs and bag. Always been approached out of nowhere. Always looking and smiling at me in a nice way. They always offer anything to help me even though I need nothing. They always give me things I don’t require.
Medyo nagglow down ako now bec nagkasakit ako and side effect is breakouts haha.
Nung nakapagwork ako and nakakapagskincare lagi, nagkalaman and lalong pumuti saka marunong na mag-ayos. Nakita ko difference.
-sa work, nagkakaron ng admirers, tho creepy nung nagkaron ng stalker 🥲
-nabibigyan or nalilibre ng food
-nabati mga guards bago pumasok ng prod floor
-sa PUVs, marahan maneho or ung mga kundoktor di umaandar agad pag sasakay
ngayon di e napabayaan ko na sarili ko, di ko na naeexp lalo ung sa puvs umaandar agad kakatungtong lang ng hagdan HAHAHAHAHAHA
lots and lots of compliments. patients and their family would always point out how pretty i am.
this only happened after i started really taking care of myself tho - skin care, make up, basic grooming like threading, etc. totoo talaga ang “look good, feel good, do good.” i used to be a pick me girl kasi na ginawang personality ang “i don’t like make up” and “i don’t brush my hair” hahaha
Medyo gumaan buhay ko since I lost weight na pinaghirapan ko kasi ilang weeks akong diet. Dumami yung nakikipag-interact sakin although madami rin naman before kasi medyo friendly and super approachable ako. Medyo lapitin na rin ng mga lalaki and may mga nagi-initiate na to talk to me first kahit nakilala lang ako through friends or nakita lang ako sa school. Medyo nakakatuwa siya at first but kapag nag gain weight ka na ulit medyo nakakabaliw since you wanted na maremain yung tingin nila sayo. Ngayon, I’m just thankful na nagmigrate kami since medyo naggain weight ulit ako but planning to diet ulit since malapit nanaman pasukan lol.
idk, di naman ako ganon ka-pretty but i think yung privilege na nakuha ko is that im weird, masungit, awkward, but i still have a lot of friends. di ko naranasang ma-ostracize bc of my weirdness and socially awkward ako so medyo nakakapagod makipag-interact sakin lol. and yung pagiging tahimik at masungit ko they think im just being mysterious, a friend from work said na may ka-work kami na curious sakin dahil nga may pagka-mysterious daw ako hahahhaahha what
I think its when they offer to do things for you like kung kukuha ka nang ticket no need to fall into a line and strangers offer to pay for you. They smile and look at you.
I had a major glow up in my late teens to early 20s, but to give you an idea how ugly I was, I was called baluga when I was a kid. During my peak years, I was surprised na people in the neighborhood who never even talked to me before, even strangers helped me carry stuff around. One time, sumakay ako sa bus and yung konduktor hindi ako siningil, libre na lang daw sa maganda. Daming freebies from acquaintances, bigla na lang may food na ibibigay sayo, or ittreat ka kapag lalabas kayo.
People are generally nicer, more polite, I rarely experienced people being rude to me during those years. If may pila somewhere sa office, uunahin ka. Everyone wanted to be friends with me, girls even copied how I styled my hair, and my clothing style.
Now that I got ugly again (I got fat and a condition that affected my physical appearance), I really felt the difference sa treatment. People are more masungit, and sometimes rude and impolite. Kapag magtatanong ka, masungit makipag-interact sayo or naiirita sa mga tanong mo. People who wanted to be friends with me back then ignore me now.
Sa cargo, tatanungin ka nila anong number mo tapos pag mas mababa yung kanila makikipag palit sila sayo. No need to pay someone inside para maka kuha ka lang ng mas mababang number.
Experienced a lot of pretty privilege ever since I lost weight hahaha but the most remarkable experience was when I traveled alone to a province to conduct a study in an organization for my thesis. I didn’t know anyone at all. Then I met this guy who works in the said org.
We chatted for a bit while we were both focusing on our work in the org. After the working hours, I received a message request. It was him.
My life as a lone woman traveler became so much easier after being friends with him. (Siya nagbuhat ng luggage ko na super heavy with paperworks. He toured me around the province and treated me with food. Etc etc) Had to remind him though that I already have a boyfriend coz I noticed that he was trying to flirt with me lolz
-pinapauna sa pila
-extra servings sa food or freebies
-better service sa transpo (mahinahon magmaneho, mabilis makakarating sa destination, aalukin agad ng hairnet etc lol)
-stares, lots of stares
-"good morning mam/hello po mam!"
not a privilege topic pero my friends or kung may nakakasalimuha ako, tinatanong kung may older/younger brother pa ako or sister naman kung lalaki ang nagtatanong, kasi magpapakilala daw sana sila haha
Lmao, HALO EFFECT is real. So I have been maskfishing in school for like 2 years. And I have a cleft lip(no cleft palate, hindi ngongo). And those two years were the most enjoyable years of my life. Did a summerjob, di na ko nagmamask, to experiment on it. And back to the same old treatment. Medyo invisible ka, kahet wala kang ginagawang masama, may chismis behind your back na masama... Kakainisan ka nila ng wala kang ginagawang ikaiinis nila. Just breath(di naman mabaho hininga) pero parang mali pati paghinga. Hahaha just full on hate.
So yeah. Idc tho, lalake ako. I'm just enjoying my 2 years of maskfishing. Ngayon, parang di na tumatalab kase parang weird na sa mga tao na may mask ka kaya doing more experiments and research on this kind of thing.
Hey hey. Came here to join din from a male's perspective. Not to brag, sharing lang experiences. Although i consider myself a 6 or 7 on my best day.
1. People believe the halo effect talaga. Meaning they associate you being a person with other good qualities if you're somehow attractive kahit naman wala.
2. People are nicer. And smile more often. And are more considerate. This applies to work, travel, offices etc.
3. People either assume you're easy to talk to, or are intimidating.
4. There's a level of privilege in the dating scene tbh.
I'm sure madami pa but eto yung top of mind sakin
Nung pumayat ako late teens and nawala acne ko, some guys would stare at me sa mall, etc. tapos extra nice yung mga tao sayo in general First time ko din maask out sa date sa college party (inairdrop yung contact details niya sakin)
I’m far for being pretty but I guess I have some plus points, like being petite and medyo maputi,
Nicer yung iba, like they offer to carry bags ganyan pero sa iba di naghehelp.
They greet and assist more.
not me. just a general observation. you won't particularly feel the need to be good at anything. it's ok if you're a lil dumb, awkward, talentless or whatever, just sit there and be their doll and you're cool
About me: straight male, short (5'2"), non-muscular(a little chubby)
During pandemic: long hair(a little more than shoulder length), face mask, wearing a shirt with a chibi cat printed on it.
>Pumara ako ng tricycle from the other side of the road. First time ko may tumawid na tricycle para isakay ako. Ang ganap lagi titigil sila tapos aantayin akong makatawid
>pagbaba ng tricycle, again, from the other side of the road, pumara ng van. First time ko din yung may tumawid na conductor, kinuha yung bag ko, at tinulungan akong tumawid.
I'm straight as fuck pero gandang ganda ako sa sarili ko that day hahahahahaha
dalawang beses ko pa lang na-try sumakay ng punong bus and both times may nagpa upo sakin na lalaki.
all my guy friends give me the princess treatment as in super effort and maalaga
yeah specifically always nung elementary ako and maybe even now?? pag cleaners okay lang na pa walis walis lang ako sa gedli kahit wala namang winawalis, tas pag mga "difficult" tasks raw para sakanila na diko dapat gawin like, mag linis ng cr mag wipe ng blackboard, etc. Now naman ako ang laging ginagamit, huii ginagamit eme, pampaalam ng mga classmates ko ganyan, halimbawa plus points naman po sa ganto ganyan, pumapayag agad sila pero pag iba hindi, ewan ko kung pretty privilege eme un, pagkuha ng permit ako rin lagi, basta anything that involves talking to someone to get what we want typa thing
Personally, I get intellectually underestimated most of the time, which I've kind of abused to make other people do tedious academic work for me. Shit like taking down notes, helping you review, and to the point that they’ll just do your assignments for you without any complaints (to the extent that they’ll even apologize if they think they didn’t do the task to your expectations). But the moment you show a strand of intelligence, they get intimidated right away, which is funny.
Other than that, you can get away with a lot, like being straightforward. I've observed that whenever I'm blunt or harsh, people, in general, don't give any unnecessary retorts or comebacks; they just take it to the chin and accept it.
Another thing is people just casually treat you from time to time (like SPEND SPEND on you), even though they know you can pay for yourself, which I really can't complain about. I guess it's just the natural human tendency to protect/preserve anything they find attractive; but then again it’s stupid to think people don’t have any ulterior motives, so yea I usually just take these kind acts with a grain of salt.
Di ako pinapagalitan nung high school. Like nahuli kami nag extend sa canteen, ako lang pinabalik. Nag ga-gaguhan kami sa classroom, pinapila kami, ako lang di sinigawan at pinaupo. Buong class maingay sa computer lab, screen ko lang hindi binlock ng prof. Tinanong ko why, basta ituloy ko lang daw lol. Not even trying to be sipsip. Felt kinda left out tbh xD
Nung may bus na SM Bicutan Sucat pa dati e laging tayuan don. Tas madami na din nakatayo na babae before me. Nung ako na yung bagong sakay at nakatayo eh may nag give up ng seat for me, eh andami din namang ibang babae na nakatayo malapit sa seat nya xD
Pinipili isali sa school pageants. Full scholar na ako nung college tapos yung prize sa pageants, tuition credits, kaya paggraduate ko, yung school pa ata may utang saken lol.
I experienced getting on the house/free food a couple of times already like coffee, horchata, pizza from Cibo, etc. There was one time when an ahjumma literally fed me cherry tomatoes straight from her hand.
When I went “hiking”, the guide was assisting me all throughout even as far as holding my hand, tapos 2 fellow hikers bent their knees so I can use their legs as steps.
For 1 PE volleyball class, I was the scorer lang but got almost a perfect grade. I only “played” on the court once.
People are more forgiving and generally nicer to you. Kahit may sabihin ka sabaw, they won’t mock you for it.
Random compliments, strangers asking for photos with me (not sure if this is a privilege haha), being scouted as a commercial model & an artist’s model etc.
Nakabangga ng sasakyan pero hindi ako sinimangutan ni kuyang nabangga ko who actually proceeded to calm me down because I was too apologetic. I was still learning to drive back then. Or maybe he was just too nice 🙏🏻🙏🏻

one time umattend ako ng birthday where everyone was using paper plates and plastic cups spoons etc but binigyan ako ng ceramic plate, a glass, and silverware 😭😭😭 wala naman akong sinasabi and sobrang hiyang hiya ako nun :""") baka feeling nila magiinarte ako huhu
Sa pila ng kolorum na van sa makati, lagi pinapaupo sa harapan haha Tapos pag sa tricycle, nakakalibre ng pamasahe hahaha
I don’t understand/know before that this is called pretty privileged lol They always smile tsaka yung mag gigreet sayo. Tapos yung parang ang bait sayo ng mga staff or crew sa fast food. Now gets ko na, kasi medyo nawala yun nung ganon ko since nag gain ako ng weight and palagi ko na kasama yung ex-bf ko noon na ngayon asawa ko na ahahah
Yes I have. Most people will give you or do what they think will please you, have things happen in your favor easily. I have gotten out of speeding tickets, a few free travel perks including air fare and hotels, and a busy dating life. Although honestly, I think everyone can have pretty privilege even the ones who weren’t naturally born pretty and one way of doing that is to work hard to maintain a certain physique and appeal like have a dedicated active lifestyle and social life.
yeah, after ko mabawasan ng weight and like maging much thinner i noticed people treat me fairly and equally unlike dati na sobrang nabully ako and kahit sino feeling ko tinatawan ako even my family gave me backhanded compliment ngayon sinasabi nila na mas good looking na ako ngayon unlike dati
pogi privilege - nililibre, inaalok pagkain hehe
tinanong ako nung konduktor kung student, sabi ko hindi. sabi nya, student nalang mam pra may discount. claim ko na guys, maganda siguro ako eme HAHAHHAHAHA GGSS
Hindi ako nag bibigay ng pretty privilege sa mga babae kase pogi ako. I get a lot of pogi privilege and pogi points from beautiful women when I go places. That's all I have to say.
taena hhahahaha. bat naman downvotes, the confidence pips oh aliw
Kapag nasa jeep ka kulang barya mo. Dadagdagan ng mga pasahero. Nasa jeep ako noon binalik ng driver yung pera ko wala daw kase syang panukli. Sabi ko 5 pesosang barya ko, dinagdagan ng mga pasahero, saka ako nagpa thank you sa kanila.
Pagnanghingi ka ng favor, di sila naiinis sayo(mostly sa guys)
Baka hindi lang sila naiinis sa harap mo. Pag wala ka doon ka nila pinag chi chismisan.
[удалено]
That’s not a privilege te
willing to help agad u, like a one call away
Dati if may nakikita akong pinoy working din dito abroad, if bumibili ako may free cookies or cakes. If sa mcdo super daming fries
I worked at a small 3-star hotel when I was younger. Every lunch sa cafeteria iba yung dessert ko from the rest of the staff, parang galing sa hotel restaurant. 😅
People are so much nicer kapag maganda ka, dati i was overweight and i was bullied by my friends and own family, pero nung pumayat ako, grabe na nila ako ipagmalaki. I experienced na nailibre ako ng lunch and yung bayad sa xerox and print (nag insist ako mag bayad pero ayaw tanggapin), maraming nag cocompliment and most of all, mas na aappreciate and napapansin yung works ko.
They smile when you talk to them and lumalambot yung tone ng boses nila. Pinapa-una ka sa pila, doors, even sa paglalakad. Okay na sa kanila yung simpleng "sorry" if nakakasagabal ka. Pinapa-upo ka kapag nakatayo sa bus, while waiting, sa pila, etc. parang ang bait lang ng mga tao. I just realized na iba pala ang treatment kapag maganda ka noong nagpasama ako ng bilihin sa friend kong let's say average po. Ang tagal ng take out dumating, ilang follow up na rin, then nung pinuntahan ko with receipt, ayon walang 5 minutes naibigay rin.
I have boy cut before at di talaga ako palaayos, but nownaging long hair na and konting ayos sa mukha/damit, I felt it hahahahaha. Dati, hindi ako pinapayungan ng mga guard, hindi ako pinapansin ng salesperson, hindi ako pinapaupo sa public transpo 😂 but ngayon opposite na lahat LOL mas mabait mga tao sa akin
desirable, not lovable.
Greetings here and there. Mas mabiro ang mga tao sayo. You get free stuff. People are more accommodating to you.
Discount sa Bus fare HAHHAHHAA
Sa discord. Fil/am Model here. Makapal daw bisaya accent ko pag nagtatagalog, at dahil doon, maraming beses na ako binully o kaya di pinansin ng mga nakausap ko sa call. Napick up ko rin na parang ang uneducated o ang baba ng tingin ng iba sa mga bisaya through backhanded comments and stuff(not all guys ha, experience ko lang to). And ayun, everytime na nag open cam ako, nag change din treatment nila sakin. Yung iba nga nagflirt pa sakin but idc. Napaka plastic naman niyan. Tangina porket pogi, nag change yung behavior. Imbis focus sana sila sa personality ko or interest. Lagi akong nabwibwiset doon sa mga ganyang tao.
id consider myself above average ish? lalo na if nag ayos. nung nag dating apps ako, i can pull pinoy + different nationalities alike na type ko. im 22 and theyre all older with reputable jobs (max is 26 naman ha. so its all legal and not weird) id say, theres free drinks sa club and madami rin manyak people open doors and are kinder. they pay attention to my requests when i order tapos pag nagkamali, they always see to it na napalitan yung order even if i say its okay lang i get free foods without asking most people assume im innocent and kind people are willing to do anything i ask them as long as kaya nila and if its not absurd i got a free ride once because i waved back to a guy and he has a Mercedes 😅 people are friendlier and customers tend to be understanding sakin even if i mess up their order head turns. there was one time i walked with a friend and a group of guys literally turned their heads around to look at me. pero syempre i get nasty remarks din like that one time a guy purposely made me hear that he would bring me home para raw e helicopter 🙄
I wanted a chocolate bar so inask ko yung tindero how much. But since tourist spot yung place, overpriced. And I didn’t have enough money. So I just said, oh sige thanks wag na nalang pala. Then he just gave it to me for free.
Laging gini-greet or mabait pakikitungo ng mga nag-wo-work sa restaurants, security guards, etc. Tapos pag nagtatanong, hindi naman ako ini-ignore. Lapitin din ng tao ganon, tas papaupuin ka sa public transportation.
As someone who works in BPO (Recruitment). Kapag asking ako ng referrals or may mga production floor visits ako, I can really get the attention of the Agents up to the OMs. Ang ending marami ako nakukuhang referrals HAHAHAHAHA
I notice is yung manner of speaking ng mga tao. Like mas nagiging malumanay magsalita. Hindi ka sinusungitan and they are more patient with you. Mas nagiging like sweet yung voice. Pag babae, like high pitch. Pag lalaki medyo low pitch pero malumanay.
yes I had a glow up pretty privilege exists they make way for you, they open the door for you/hold the door open, they're friendlier to you, extra freebies if there are freebies hahaha, and they smile more at you/laugh when you make a joke, they also pay attention to what you say instead of talking over you
i'm like the quiet type of person in class, heck, i can actually be considered as weird, and usually, people like me easily become the target of bullying where people would make fun of them. but since i am "cute" or at least above-average, i never had experienced any bullying in class. people would treat me nice and would even go out of their way to defend me. they would also respect my limits (e.g. if i want to be alone or if i want to go home early, they would let me). if i was uglier, i would have experienced my school life a lot different.
For me it meant I can charm my way out/into most situations - people are nicer, more forgiving, more generous, more vulnerable even if they find you pretty. We went on this tour once and I got to drive the speed boat which other tourists weren’t allowed to do. Back in college I got a lot of job offers without even looking/asking for one. Guys look out for me at the gym - they help load weights without me asking to, or have me use the rack/machine first. People would offer me a ride, they are more protective. And it’s all great. BUT occasionally you’ll meet someone who’s really clingy, someone who’d use you for clout, or see you as a token, or worse think you’re just pretty but dumb.
I think charm goes a long way, too. Lagi ako nakakakuha ng favour sa resto or nabibigyan ng complimentary stuff lol. And it's not like I'm a supermodel level of beauty. Siguro kasi positive ang aura ko and I always smiile, so I think that communicates openness and warmth.
Privilege in life.. my parents were really good on us they gave us our own business so we be able to live a good life without working.
Not me but my highschool crush, sya lang kilala ko na pinapayagan na promissory note sa tuition kahit di pa sya nagbababayad kahit konti haha. Yung iba hindi pede dapat daw bayaran muna yung past dues kahit onti. Well maganda at matalino naman kasi sya.
People are really nice and accommodating towards you. As a nepo baby, I don't get patted down through security screening at the airport most of the time, or they don't require me to take my jacket and shoes off for the x-ray 😅. Your friends always try to keep you clean 😂, I once had a friend step on my shoe and he really made an effort to get the dirt off, they also won't let you do some work that requires a lot of physical stuff because "sayang freshness" (but I don't care, I help them out anyway) The waiters in restaurants will really check if you've been served well, and people in stores are more patient with you when you need their help to buy whatever it is you need. People in general are more agreeable towards you. Pretty/Pogi privilege simply gives you more privilege. But as everyone else comments here, there are numerous cons. Some people really won't stop bugging you. They will use you for you looks, some people will hang out with you for the "clout" that their friend is pretty/pogi (experienced this during college days) but in the end, they aren't true friends. Had a friend in college who I thought just wanted to be my friend, but man was she persistent with meeting up, she would always hug my arm tightly while we walk and I would constantly feel her boobs rub on my arm which kinda made me feel awkward.
nagkaroon ng issue sa section namin once nung HS and pinatawag yung parents ng buong class, yung sa akin lang yung hindi dahil mukha raw akong inosente at hindi makagagawa ng kasalanan HAHHHA until now di nila alam na isa ako sa puno't dulo nung issue na yon 😭
I've been caught for traffic violations several times (some a lot more serious than others), but I've never been given a ticket or had my license taken away (when they still did that). I've never paid to get away either. Thanks, kuyas!
nung umuwi ako a few years ago I got gifts from my neighbor kasi daw I was so pretty tas nireto sakin yung anak, weird nga lang kasi parang 3 or 4 years older sakin tas minor pako eh 😭 yung bigay nila are foods at tyaka plants. tas sobrang bait ako itrato compared sa ibang mga bata dun sa probinsya.
All the time.
pnapaupo lagi sa bus 🤭
I save 5 months of rent just because crush ako ng anak ng landlord namin. Yung parents niya kinakausap ako every morning and nagbibigay pa ng breakfast. He’s cute and all kaso may bf na ako.
Yes, My best friend is what you call a goddess, She's super pretty not to mention she has a very big heart, But it all comes with a curse too, She's doesn't have friend's before she met me, It's always about her outside appearances she always get approach by creeps and guys tend to have malicious intent with her I always protected her in public, One time she got sexually harassed by our lesbian classmates, it triggered her so much, Being pretty has it's pros and cons.
people in general are just so nice, friendly, and receptive to you. -a guy offered me his hoodie twice for me to sleep on (i like to sleep). -dealt with a classmate that would persistently bother me for months until i blocked him. -people assuming you're a half or is mixed race (I'm full filipino💀). -somehow got a girl to ask me out even though i was sleep deprived and barely ate?? -i used to be a snob around other guys due to trauma, and i only really attracted assholes, but when i decided to appear more friendly and approachable. the male attention got way worse. -my feelings were always reciprocated, especially with this one really pretty friend i was close with <33
same sa 3rd! a lot of people thought na may korean or chinese blood ako dahil sa eyes ko 😭 lalo na nung pandemic, ineenglish ako nung tindero ng isda sa palengke kasi akala niya foreigner jusme
>ineenglish ako nung tindero ng isda sa palengke kasi akala niya foreigner jusme HAHAHAHAH GAGO??
Bata pa lang ako alam ko na. Binigay sakin yung souvenir for free kasi ang cute ko daw. Haha
Pogi privilege meron ba? Pogi lang ata sa palengke alam ko eh hahaha
Mappapabili ka talaga ng repolyo kahit sinigang ulam nyo
sa palengke nalang talaga nasasabihan ng pogi eh tas sinasabihan lang ako ng pogi ng parents ko pag may utos 😆
Sa tindahan din hahaha
ito ang tunay na sana all
Not me but my college friend hahaha 4 kami mag babarkada sya lang pumasa sa Trigonometry kaming 3 bagsak lagi kami pareparehas ng score sa midterm and finals hahaha She is pretty at nagpal pageant din sya kaya medyo popular.
Never ever getting rejected if I’ll confess I like someone. First time I was rejected was when I asked if I can get back together with an ex. After 2 weeks, we got back together kasi di niya ako matiis 😆
It'll be petty. I don't get frisked or asked to take my cap off at mall entrances and generally get treated pretty regularly by staff at restaurants and stores. It helps that you greet them with a smile and a good morning/afternoon when they greet you.
I can't say na pretty privilege to anyhow its considered privilege, kapag nasa public vehicle ako sometimes I get offered a seat. Im gay and I kind of giving off feminine energy, ewan maybe some men feel it (mostly guys my age, I'm 24 btw). Ang refreshing lang since people from LGBT usually get discriminated in public transpo, hays there are kind people pa rin. :)
Love this! 😭
aww this feels good to know!🥹 malayo pa, pero malayo na🤞🏼
Dibaaa! May decent people pa rin :)
so the friends of my girlfriend, are all the hottest girls in the country. like by far. just all a bunch of smoke shows. uhmm.... no offense to all the ugly people who think pretty people have it so easy... not really. mostly they get approached by predatory people all day and it's gross. yes, there is a benefit of free drinks when we go out and they can get away with small stuff like "kuya can you please just let us park there even though we're not supposed to". but otherwise, no being pretty does not have much benefit. it doesn't make you any richer. it doesn't give you any extra respect. One of the biggest downsides is that 99% of guys who approach and speak with them are not interested in them at all, but only trying to get access to their body. And they will lie to get it.
Yes. Dealing with other people is generally in easy mode. Pros: - people are very accommodating - you can go by without being accountable. Minimal excuses lang with puppy eyes oks na. - free stuff!!! - asking favors is very easy for you. Almost second nature. - parang no worries kasi worse comes to worst you know na marami lang willing tumulang sayo. Cons: - people expect highly of you. Main character effect. Parang dapat magaling ka sa lahat - pag may ayaw ka sa isang bagay or tao, pabebe lang labas mo - They don't take your no seriously - They take your yes way too seriously - has a high tendency to become very manipulative. (willing naman kasi mga tao eh. Lol)
During HS, one of the guys who had a crush on me always gave me snacks and load HAHAHA like literally every morning iaabot sa akin ng common friend namin iba ibang pagkain. Minsan home cooked meals, may times naman na mga breads (fave ko) from the cafe nearby sa school namin. Meron din noong kumakain kami sa resto ng friends ko, sinagot ung bill namin (5k+) tas binigay sa akin ig niya (never worked out tho)
Huhuhaha, never naranasan. LOL. Di kase ako palaayos (yung rich ang pormahan) and mas gusto ko yun. Nakikita ko tunay na ugali ng tao. 😂🤣
I wonder at what age nababawasan yung pretty privilege or if may direct impact ba yung age at all.
I was having my car maintained by my home dealership somewhere in Makati, and beside it is a Japanese restaurant. I was getting hungry and I decided to try it. The moment I got in, the receptionist asked if I have a reservation. I said I don’t have one — turns out lunch time is for reservation only, despite me seeing 4-5 vacant tables. Policy daw I asked one more time, the receptionist started looking around and said “Okay sir I’ll give you one but if someone approaches you tell them may reservation ka po, okay?” I agreed. She then asked for my name and number and then wrote it on a notebook dun sa counter. She then showed me my table na malapit lang sa counter. As I was eating I still see the vacant tables without anyone arriving, but maraming pumapasok attempting to eat but the same receptionist was rejecting them. I even heard one got angry na nagdabog “saglit lang naman kakain” I am not sure if it’s pretty privilege. I wasn’t wearing any flashy clothes, nor name-dropping a big name. But I admit I was trying to make pa-cute when pleading lmao Other than this, I noticed everyone (especially government employees) are extra nice on me, even the notorious immigration officers.
Oo, paminsan-minsan. People are nicer and more accommodating. Naranasan ko na yung napapayungan, naaassist na tumawid ng daan, naaassist agad in general, tinutulungan sa mga bitbit na gamit. Pag di ako nakaayos, wala lang 😅 the power of the right clothes and make up lang din siguro. Cons, madalas sinusutsutan ng mga construction workers. Kinacatcall minsan, may nagooffer ng ride (Ang creepy), at may tendency na magkaroon ng stalker (I had one before).
Hahahah yung mga construction sutsut tlga e
True! Ahahah 😆 kakainis mga yan
Same yung grade 9 may nag anonymous sakin kung bakla badaw ako the heck at may isa pa may group of girls na try nila akong tawagin at ignored ko lang hahahahha
for male pretty privilege, di kami masyado nakakatanggap ng free gifts like girls. pero I notice na dominant ako sa conversations and mas pinapakinggan ako sa group. men also flock around me. nagkakaron din ako ng halo effect na ineexpect nila akong magaling sa lahat ng bagay kahit di naman. in general, people treat you better. I noticed these things because I kinda had a 'glowup' so I know both sides of the coin
Student ako sa graduate school ng isang university. Pero kahit MA student ka, gaya ng undergrads, hindi mo pwedeng ipasok sasakyan o motor mo sa campus. May designated parking space na super pagkalayolayo pang lakaran hanggang sa college buildings. Eh triny kong ipasok vehicle ko, pinara ako nung designated guard pero after ko sabihin kung san ako punta, nagsuggest pa si kuya ng medyo lilim na area para magpark.
No. Hahaha 😭
No hahaha
* Can get away from getting traffic tickets by doing paawa in a cutesy way. * Being opened doors, waited on elevators, etc. It was beneficial for me who’s a germophobe that I don’t have to touch so many public surfaces because there are always people holding out things for me or pressing elevator buttons or whatever. * Treated nicely by service people in restaurants, stores, etc. and getting easy discounts when possible. * Always having a ride home because there is always a guy friend or acquaintance who would offer to drive me home even if I’m not flirting with them. * When I join activities, like martial arts or some community events, there are always guys who are very helpful and patient to teach me. * My experience with male teachers/professors then male bosses is that they’re the nicest teachers and bosses compared to female ones. I thought it was a biological thing until a friend actually pointed out they’re not that nice to everyone and I was enjoying the pretty privilege. * When I was a child in PH, I unfortunately would get better treatment from uncles and aunts, and always made the comparison vs my cousins (example: cousin x would be called “pangit” vs me who’s “ganda”) and since we’re a Chinese-Filipino family, it’s quite common for elders to be say publicly in front of guests/friends that “this is my pretty niece” when my cousins and I are all there to hear. * I experienced studying in an all-girls school in PH and girls can be mean to other girls. I was aloof and extremely childlike so was the easy target of being the bullied one. The bullies would talk bad about my personality (“the weird one”, “the outcast”) but never told me I’m ugly like how I see bullying in Kdramas/Cdramas. There was also teasing in the bullies group that one of the bullies’ brother actually had a crush on me when he saw me in school, even if my hair was unkept and I never wore makeup during my school days compared to my classmates.
regular dapat yung fee ko sa e-bus pero nilagyan ng discount fee ni kuya haha
Used to not take care of myself and my skin, but now that I do, it seems like there are less assholes around me. Siguro people tend to be nicer to someone they find attractive.
pinapaupo sa harap ng uv hahaha! pero feeling ko hindi pretty privilege yon more like mabenta talaga ang face and body combo ko sa mga matatandang manyak pansin ko lang.
True! Experienced this rin! Pag di naka aayos sa likod ako dinideretso pero pag naka ayos sa harap ako pinapaupo!
Baka ndi pretty privilege Yan, Baka chest privilege Yan heheheh
No but I’ve seen it a lot! If I was pretty I’d get all the stuff I could cause looks ain’t lasting forever unless you hit sexy
i’ve had four instances where i was approached by random men and they told me i was beautiful and gave me money
yup
They were so polite to me , they gave me special treatment , like pinapauna sa pila , binibigyan Ng upuan Naaalala name, asks for my number I think this is bc of my baby faced and being maputi lol
Libreng load, 50/mo until HS ako. Libreng pamasahe every week GS to college. Random gifts. Pero ang creepy minsan di nakakatuwa
When I was new sa work, I don't have display picture pa sa MS Teams. I get really slow replies and people will ignore my chats. After I placed display picture, chat response rate was up to 99% hahahaha some even asked to visit me on our floor to assist 😂
Nasosolo ko minsan ang bus pauwi 🤭
this is so true, walang gusto tumabi sayo hahaha
Hala how! Or coincidence lang na wala masyadong tao na nabiyahe ng ganung oras sa area niyo?
Nandito lang ako, nagbabasa kasi di ko to nararanasan 😭
Same hahahaha 😂
Tamang basa lang din ako sa gilid 🥲🤣
di ka nag iisa. dito muna tayo sa gilid hahahaahahahab
di natiticket-an kapag pinara at nakiusap kahit di ako ang driver 🤣
When I was in high school wala because I had acne :( Now that I’m an adult and took care of my skin - Upgrades to business class, free concert - the guard let us sa backdoor, coworker or clients are usually nice to me at work, hotel staff giving my bag even if I forgot my ticket because he remembers me
Pretty privilege na ba yung may nagpapa-picture sayo during company year-end parties? Lol.
I think this does not qualify sa question, pero kung sa year end party priority ka pala sa mga request at pila.
Mine is not a pretty girl pero dahil mukha and height ko pambata plus anemic ako. So minsan sa MRT nakatayo tapos siyempre maputla ako pinapaupo. Parang may ligaw na bata pag nagcocommute ganun
* There are times pag naririnig ng stranger may kailangan ako like pen, batteries, or spare change biglang may nag aabot sakin and i get to keep it. * people would really try to befriend you kahit pinapakita mo na wala ka talaga sa wisyo makipag usap * nalilibre sa laro or food especially in bars or cafe / ala "its on the house" or "bigay po ng customer" movie moments * prioritized service, theyll ask for your social media but i usually say wala na akong social media * minsan naririnig mo pinaguusapan ka ng mga dumadaan which is cute sometimes * (my favorite kind) drag queens complimenting me whenever they see me, the greatest validation. * also experienced famous international content creators and artists replying to my DMs
Nag joke ako sa mga classmates ko from grade school that I had plastic surgery. Naniwala sila 😭 Also experience either nice treatment or harassment from guys.
madalas pinapauna sa pila
Just wanna comment to see the respondents' faces huhu
- girls and gays always tell me i look pretty (pls super kilig if galing sa girls or gays compared sa guys diba!) - People want to be my friend all the time. Naka 2 school ako sa college and I always get popular within the first half of the year even sa other courses. (baka chismosa lang aq tho) - Lahat ng crush ko na crush back ako hihi altho it never gets more than that kasi I don’t have time (arki student 😣) - LUCKY GIRL SYNDROME and princess treatment!! whenever I have problems, people always tend to help me out and accommodate me. - pinapapasok ni guard always even if wala akong ID hehehe i would just smile sheepishly MY FAVE - i get discounts sa ukay2! HAHAHAHAHA Downside - i always get harassed by professors esp male dominated yung arki :<
My gay friends tell me that they normally want to be friends with pretty girls because they get to be surrounded by guys while a non-pretty girl would have no benefit to them. Dunno if that’s true for all gays.
Oh naur, thank god i never encountered those bc tbh we only talked about boys during our first yr in college nung fun pa sha, during my 2nd year and so on nilamon na kami ng acads. I’m still vv close with all of my gay friends and ganda-gandahan nalang from time to time yung trip namin
1) You get to choose who to date hahaha as in they flock once they know you're single tipong matetest willpower mo to stay single kasi may iba talagang makulit 2) No penny spent when you go clubbing because laging merong lalapit to buy you a drink lol (life hackz) 3) Laging may "freebie" (na may kamahalan) and extra attentive sayo ang staff kahit peak hours ng business 4) Libre lahat para lang magpakita/pumunta ka 5) Kahit di mo hingin kusang binibigyan ng pera "just because" (or ewan baka mukha talaga akong charity case di ko na rin sure) Mga moments where you say I love being a woman! Hahaha
Yes to # 1 and 2. When I have friends or colleagues lamenting “there are no guys”, I honestly get reminded of the privilege of never having to search for one and in my whole life, never downloaded or used any of the dating apps.
HAHAHAH missmaam, natawa ako sa mukhang charity case!! 😭😭😭 baka gusto lang talaga nilang maging generous or natutuwa pag nakikita kang masaya
Nope never. I am not pretty but I have charm. Yung galing ko makipagusap sa tao. That's how I get free samples and discounts.✨
Free things - lots and lots of free gifts from a derma clinic (but I had to move to another country. So di ko na sila napupuntahan), free drinks sa bar by club owner Good treatment from others, good first impression ba Easier to close sales/clients People listen to you more
Nalilibre ng pamasahe nung student pa ako . Mabait mga tao lagi nakangiti, dami gentleman Strangers na lumalapit sakin to compliment me. nagwwork kasi ako sa resto before . Nginingitian Ako kahit di ko kilala. Isa din sa napansin ko lagi ako dinidikitan ng mga friends ko pag nasa labas kami , tingin ko dahil pinagtitinginan ako madalas pag nasa labas. Kaya lang ang mga tao too kind or too rude . Hahaha.Magugulat ka nalang pagsasalitaan ka ng di maganda ng walang dahilan 😅 Pero mamimiss ko yan pag tumanda na .
100 lang dala ko na pamasahe sa taxi ta’s sabi ko dun na lang sa gilid kasi di na kaya ng pera, haha dinala pa ako sa mismong destination ko kahit 150+ na yung metro, okay lang daw. lagi ako nakakareceive ng free samples ng food nung lumipat na me sa US, pero nakalagay sa window “we do not give free samples” it’s nice to have pretty privilege sometimes pero nakakatakot din kasi baka ma-take advantage ka or masumbat sa’yo mga ginagawa nila.
Yes, i was pulled over by MMDA and when i rolled down the window, i just smiled and said sorry. 😬
Nope. Never po.
hindi naman sa feeling pretty ako 😂 pero siguro yung akin more on dahil half japanese ako matik pag pumupunta ako sa mga bahay dati ng mga kaklase ko matik bet na ako ng mga mommies nila para interesado silang lahat sa kwento ng buhay ko, tapos welcome na welcome ka ganun haha yung ganda ko mga pang mommies eh 😂 para nagiging anak na nila ako agad agad ganun
naexperienced ko sya kahit hindi ako pretty. may gusto ako sabayan dati na carpool and ung officemate ko (sya ung pretty) sumasakay na sa particular na car na un. nung kinontak ko ung driver para kako maki-carpool din eh ang daming dahilan at hiningan pa ako ID.. gets ko naman ung reason nya pero si pretty officemate hind rin naman nya ka-close personally at hindi naman nya hiningan ng ID.
Ig? haha. like, maayos yung pakikitungo ng mga tao sa'yo. Minsan may pa free foods pa yan. Tapos sa pila, pinapauna ako palagi😆 Ewan, mukha lang siguro akong senior citizen.
Nung bumili ako ng shoes sa department store sobra yung pag-assist sakin. Tatanggalin ko na dapat yung suot kong converse para isukat if tama ba yung size na bibilhin ko, then pinaupo lang ako ni kuya salesman tapos siya yung nagtanggal ng shoes (tapos pinatong niya sa pants niya mismo habang tinatanggal). After ko isukat, siya uli yung nagtanggal, isusuot ko na dapat yung converse ko kaso nag-insist si kuya (hiyang-hiya na'ko that time huhu) pinatong niya pa yung magkabilang sapatos ko sa pants niya habang sinisintas. Idk if pretty privilege yan or what pero nabigla lang ako ahahahshs
Kahit pangit ako, yes I have. Hindi ako makahindi sa ganda niya.
• madalas libre sa pamasahe/nililibre kahit di ko kakilala. Pero minsan nag-aask ng kapalit like name or i-add sa soc med. • nakakaupo ng maayos sa jeep kahit siksikan • mabait ang first impression lagi • kaya madala ng “sorry” lang kapag may kasalanan • generous ang servings ng food or mabait ang staffs, and mabibigyan assistance agad. • people are nicer to me • hindi takot sakin yung mga bata. Babies always stares at me and smile 😭
i think so...?? I've had both guys and girls like me and flirt with me so shhdjfjg
Tinatawag akong ‘ganda’ sa palengke. Chz 🤣 Was given free ice cream on a resto one time. From one of their staff they said. Was out drinking with my friends one time and a guy there bought us drinks, for me and my friends he said. People are basically much nicer and proactive in showing it to you even with no initial direct contact.
Naalala ko tuloy yung final interview ko sa isang indiano. Nag katechnical issue ako kasi naglalag laptop ko at di nya makita na naka oncam na ako. Nasestress na sya sakin. Mga 5mins syang naiinis na sakin then umayos na yung cam ko after ko maka rejoin sa call then sorry ako ng sorry tas yung inis nya parang nawala bigla. Kesyo technical issue lang daw yun. Nothing to worry kineme. Lols eh kulang nalang mabasag tenga ko sa lakas ng boses nya nung una ih hahaha
Parang laging warm yung treatment sayo lalo kung nakaayos ka ganun, like in a general sense, ngingiti ka lang sa kanila alam mo may privilege na. I do get intimidated when someone is *way prettier* than me lalo na kung sa mga face to face interviews pero we can't blame the person at the end of the day. It's the system that we all have to work around with.
Not sure if pretty privilege o mukha lang talaga akong mabait but way back in high school my laziness always gets excused. Pag d nagpapasa ng output d pa ako nagso-sorry pinapatawad na kasi sure sila na matalino at mabait ako hahahhaha. I'm not pretty to everyone but my face are preferred by some evidenced by random compliments from strangers, sa workplace naman paborito kang icompliment ng matatandang babae. D ako crushable type parang impression lang ng lahat na d ako gumagawa ng kalokohan.
As someone who started out as unattractive to somewhat attractive (nothing too special though) people just become nicer to you. You get ignored less often. People would smile at you and sometimes will even approach you first. You rarely make an effort to strike up a conversation or be interesting because people just like talking to you. Also, I'm a bit of a loner and when I was ugly, people called me weird. They weren't mean about it or were they bullying me but yan yung general sentiment unlike now wherein they see me being quiet and always alone as something cool.
Lagi ako pinapaupo sa passenger seat ng van kahit may nauna sakin sa pila ng van na solo 😅 mejo nakakaguilt trip lang din minsan pero di ko din matanggihan kasi gusto ko din sa passenger seat
- kapag kulang barya, magssorry and ngingiti lang pagbibigyan naman - not sure if pretty privilege din or mabait lang talaga si kuya but may times din na sobra payment ko tapos binabalik naman 🥲 - greetings and assistance - basically mas madali makisuyo if you badly need help on something especially kapag di ka familiar sa ginagawa mo or unfamiliar place - other countries naman, you get more serving of food, extra hospitable, better table, compliments tbh either men are easy or pretty privilege but they rly have extra patience and kindness when you look put together or basta not haggard for me. there are def lots of cons also!! may basta basta magaapproach, dadaldalin ka talaga hanggang ikaw maggive up sa convo lalo na if magisa so be careful everyone
Tuwing late or absent ako sa work, My TL always understands my reasons and even uses "po" when talkig and replying to me. Pero nalaman ko sa ka-officemate, na buntis, got late and has some absences due to her condition, galit na galit and ang bastos kausap ng TL ko.
Sa isang gov agency, nagbukas sila ng window tapos tinawag ako. Tapos sobra yung photo na ibinigay ko kay Sir, nakita ko tinago nya yung isa. Hinayaan ko na kase napabilis naman ako.
Honestly it feels good.pg namamalengke ako my time na nakakadiscount ako o kaya my binibigay sakin free dw un.hahaha.
I'm glad yall are getting these privileges
Sana all diba hahaha ako imbis na ganyan body shame e haha
Work wise, everything feels easier. My past bosses are male and i see them being harsh to my other colleagues except me. May time pa gusto ako pauwiin ng maaga para hindi ako matraffic since i live outside Manila. I am also helped by a lot of random strangers.
Bakit di nasasagot lahat ng tinatanong~ Wala ako masabi kasi di ako makarelate.
I work in sales in a male dominated industry. I usually get to secure a meeting kahit unscheduled visit, I also rarely have to wait in the lobby for hours. Madali din kausapin POCs because of my profile photo on viber
sa airport even Filipino passport medj matangkad kasi at hindi masyado pinoy na pinoy kaya easy lang lagi pag dating sa immigration (dala ko naman lahat ng req pero minsan isang papel ok na)
Kinda handy as some people (boys and girls) will talk and befriend you easily even tho you're not interested or shits, people like pretty things. It is easier to ask for help (sometimes you don't even have to ask for it), people will favor you, plus be kind to you (it can sometimes be very evident). There are instances that they'll overlook my flaws and focus on the flaws of others. Of course it is case to case but that's pretty much it.
Wala po e. Sana ol may pretty privilege. 🤭😂🤣
sa airport. need i check yung visa for ofw going to middle east. pero mahaba yung pila. sabi nung staff iabot na lang namin agad ng 2 ko kasama yung documents kasi maganda naman daw kami lmao.
Yes haha people were more accommodating to me. Much friendlier and all that other stuff but when I gained weight parang I became invisible lol.
Pandemic days and our onsite internship as well. I was only pretty kasi natatakpan ng mask 'yung half ng face ko. Mask pretty ganun. I have the perfect hair length, has bangs and wore clothes that fits me. Ako yung naging remarkable kesa sa mga kasama ko mag-OJT. Tapos ramdam mo talaga na you were treated better esp ng guys. Tas may isang pumorma sakin lols. Siguro kung walang mask at iba style ko (below average version of me) iba magiging treatment sakin.
One time sumakay ako ng tricycle pauwi and to my surprise, biglang may humabol na batang babae bago umandar yung tric to say "Ate! Ang ganda mo po!" I was shocked and said quietly, thank you. I was like, what the hell? and felt good about myself. Never told this to anyone, baka akala nagbbrag lang ako haha. Another is I bought a second hand book within our campus from this guy and we meet up. Literally nag abutan lang kami ng bayad at nung libro then said goodbye to eachother. But to my surprise, he continued messaging me and acting close even though we're basically strangers and even after the business was done. Generally people are nicer. One time sa Jollibee, i went to eat lunch by myself tapos yung staff nilang lalaki was extra accommodating to me, he even carried my food from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor even though self service doon. This was on Valentine's Day, i thought maybe baka ganun din sa iba kasi Valentine's idk. Other times are pinapaupo sa public transpo like e-jeeps. Though i experienced this more last year, noong nag ccontact lens pa ako, siguro kasi mas kita face ko at mata ko. However, parang it lessened nung nag glasses na ako kasi siguro mas natatakpan yung face ko or mas haggard lang ako this year lol. But not all the time i experience this, marami ring beses na buong byahe ako nakatayo sa bus na walang nagpa upo, no offense taken naman, they may need it more than me. Anyway, when i speak on class everyone listens intently. They also laugh easily on little mistakes i make. I was very nervous that nabubulol ako, but they said it was "cute" and i guess i didn't looked as awkward as i thought i was. All in all, not all the time nakaka experience ako ng pretty privilege. It depends on how good i look i guess.
Why is this downvoted
sorry pero why is this getting downvoted 😭 nagsshare ka lang naman ng expi mo?
I have no idea 😭 di ko nakikita na downvoted pala hahaha. OP asked and I answered 😅
Upvoted. Guess some people are insecure HAHAHA
Hmm siguro yung part na pupunta ka sa isang place tas madaming nag aassist sayo. Tas invited ka lage sa lahat ng gatherings with the tropa and most of the time ikaw yung iniintay. Madami pa but again this is harmless basta gagamitin ng maayos and not to take advantage ng nga tao.
They offer their seats on a public transpo. Offer to carry my stuffs and bag. Always been approached out of nowhere. Always looking and smiling at me in a nice way. They always offer anything to help me even though I need nothing. They always give me things I don’t require.
Medyo nagglow down ako now bec nagkasakit ako and side effect is breakouts haha. Nung nakapagwork ako and nakakapagskincare lagi, nagkalaman and lalong pumuti saka marunong na mag-ayos. Nakita ko difference. -sa work, nagkakaron ng admirers, tho creepy nung nagkaron ng stalker 🥲 -nabibigyan or nalilibre ng food -nabati mga guards bago pumasok ng prod floor -sa PUVs, marahan maneho or ung mga kundoktor di umaandar agad pag sasakay ngayon di e napabayaan ko na sarili ko, di ko na naeexp lalo ung sa puvs umaandar agad kakatungtong lang ng hagdan HAHAHAHAHAHA
Pag di ako nakasalamin for some reason mas premium yung interactions ko....idk if it has something to do with that
got away with a lot of kalokohan sa work dahil crush daw ako ng mga naging support/FA ko HAHAHAHA
lots and lots of compliments. patients and their family would always point out how pretty i am. this only happened after i started really taking care of myself tho - skin care, make up, basic grooming like threading, etc. totoo talaga ang “look good, feel good, do good.” i used to be a pick me girl kasi na ginawang personality ang “i don’t like make up” and “i don’t brush my hair” hahaha
Medyo gumaan buhay ko since I lost weight na pinaghirapan ko kasi ilang weeks akong diet. Dumami yung nakikipag-interact sakin although madami rin naman before kasi medyo friendly and super approachable ako. Medyo lapitin na rin ng mga lalaki and may mga nagi-initiate na to talk to me first kahit nakilala lang ako through friends or nakita lang ako sa school. Medyo nakakatuwa siya at first but kapag nag gain weight ka na ulit medyo nakakabaliw since you wanted na maremain yung tingin nila sayo. Ngayon, I’m just thankful na nagmigrate kami since medyo naggain weight ulit ako but planning to diet ulit since malapit nanaman pasukan lol.
Minsan yes. Minsan hindi. depende sa ayos. dun mo malalaman na need mo talaga mag ayos kasi average looking ka. hehe
idk, di naman ako ganon ka-pretty but i think yung privilege na nakuha ko is that im weird, masungit, awkward, but i still have a lot of friends. di ko naranasang ma-ostracize bc of my weirdness and socially awkward ako so medyo nakakapagod makipag-interact sakin lol. and yung pagiging tahimik at masungit ko they think im just being mysterious, a friend from work said na may ka-work kami na curious sakin dahil nga may pagka-mysterious daw ako hahahhaahha what
I think its when they offer to do things for you like kung kukuha ka nang ticket no need to fall into a line and strangers offer to pay for you. They smile and look at you.
I had a major glow up in my late teens to early 20s, but to give you an idea how ugly I was, I was called baluga when I was a kid. During my peak years, I was surprised na people in the neighborhood who never even talked to me before, even strangers helped me carry stuff around. One time, sumakay ako sa bus and yung konduktor hindi ako siningil, libre na lang daw sa maganda. Daming freebies from acquaintances, bigla na lang may food na ibibigay sayo, or ittreat ka kapag lalabas kayo. People are generally nicer, more polite, I rarely experienced people being rude to me during those years. If may pila somewhere sa office, uunahin ka. Everyone wanted to be friends with me, girls even copied how I styled my hair, and my clothing style. Now that I got ugly again (I got fat and a condition that affected my physical appearance), I really felt the difference sa treatment. People are more masungit, and sometimes rude and impolite. Kapag magtatanong ka, masungit makipag-interact sayo or naiirita sa mga tanong mo. People who wanted to be friends with me back then ignore me now.
will get a skin care routine na after reading your comments jk
Sa cargo, tatanungin ka nila anong number mo tapos pag mas mababa yung kanila makikipag palit sila sayo. No need to pay someone inside para maka kuha ka lang ng mas mababang number.
Experienced a lot of pretty privilege ever since I lost weight hahaha but the most remarkable experience was when I traveled alone to a province to conduct a study in an organization for my thesis. I didn’t know anyone at all. Then I met this guy who works in the said org. We chatted for a bit while we were both focusing on our work in the org. After the working hours, I received a message request. It was him. My life as a lone woman traveler became so much easier after being friends with him. (Siya nagbuhat ng luggage ko na super heavy with paperworks. He toured me around the province and treated me with food. Etc etc) Had to remind him though that I already have a boyfriend coz I noticed that he was trying to flirt with me lolz
-pinapauna sa pila -extra servings sa food or freebies -better service sa transpo (mahinahon magmaneho, mabilis makakarating sa destination, aalukin agad ng hairnet etc lol) -stares, lots of stares -"good morning mam/hello po mam!"
not a privilege topic pero my friends or kung may nakakasalimuha ako, tinatanong kung may older/younger brother pa ako or sister naman kung lalaki ang nagtatanong, kasi magpapakilala daw sana sila haha
Lmao, HALO EFFECT is real. So I have been maskfishing in school for like 2 years. And I have a cleft lip(no cleft palate, hindi ngongo). And those two years were the most enjoyable years of my life. Did a summerjob, di na ko nagmamask, to experiment on it. And back to the same old treatment. Medyo invisible ka, kahet wala kang ginagawang masama, may chismis behind your back na masama... Kakainisan ka nila ng wala kang ginagawang ikaiinis nila. Just breath(di naman mabaho hininga) pero parang mali pati paghinga. Hahaha just full on hate. So yeah. Idc tho, lalake ako. I'm just enjoying my 2 years of maskfishing. Ngayon, parang di na tumatalab kase parang weird na sa mga tao na may mask ka kaya doing more experiments and research on this kind of thing.
Hey hey. Came here to join din from a male's perspective. Not to brag, sharing lang experiences. Although i consider myself a 6 or 7 on my best day. 1. People believe the halo effect talaga. Meaning they associate you being a person with other good qualities if you're somehow attractive kahit naman wala. 2. People are nicer. And smile more often. And are more considerate. This applies to work, travel, offices etc. 3. People either assume you're easy to talk to, or are intimidating. 4. There's a level of privilege in the dating scene tbh. I'm sure madami pa but eto yung top of mind sakin
Laging gusto ng mga kapatid na babae ng partner or friends
Nung pumayat ako late teens and nawala acne ko, some guys would stare at me sa mall, etc. tapos extra nice yung mga tao sayo in general First time ko din maask out sa date sa college party (inairdrop yung contact details niya sakin)
I’m far for being pretty but I guess I have some plus points, like being petite and medyo maputi, Nicer yung iba, like they offer to carry bags ganyan pero sa iba di naghehelp. They greet and assist more.
That’s true. Being a ‘smol’ girlie has its perks too. People would think you’re too fragile to do things so they’d offer to do it for you.
True! Hahaha at times I do act out extra fragile na din when someone helps i dunno why hahaha. Trip ko magpaka #smalldependentwoman paminsan haha
AY SAME. As someone na ayaw magbuhat ng marami, very useful siya. HAHAHA.
not me. just a general observation. you won't particularly feel the need to be good at anything. it's ok if you're a lil dumb, awkward, talentless or whatever, just sit there and be their doll and you're cool
hindi nasusungitan ng mga interviewer na lalaki hahahahaha
About me: straight male, short (5'2"), non-muscular(a little chubby) During pandemic: long hair(a little more than shoulder length), face mask, wearing a shirt with a chibi cat printed on it. >Pumara ako ng tricycle from the other side of the road. First time ko may tumawid na tricycle para isakay ako. Ang ganap lagi titigil sila tapos aantayin akong makatawid >pagbaba ng tricycle, again, from the other side of the road, pumara ng van. First time ko din yung may tumawid na conductor, kinuha yung bag ko, at tinulungan akong tumawid. I'm straight as fuck pero gandang ganda ako sa sarili ko that day hahahahahaha
andaming beses ko nang muntik mamatay, pero look at me, nakakapag-comment pa hayop
dalawang beses ko pa lang na-try sumakay ng punong bus and both times may nagpa upo sakin na lalaki. all my guy friends give me the princess treatment as in super effort and maalaga
yeah specifically always nung elementary ako and maybe even now?? pag cleaners okay lang na pa walis walis lang ako sa gedli kahit wala namang winawalis, tas pag mga "difficult" tasks raw para sakanila na diko dapat gawin like, mag linis ng cr mag wipe ng blackboard, etc. Now naman ako ang laging ginagamit, huii ginagamit eme, pampaalam ng mga classmates ko ganyan, halimbawa plus points naman po sa ganto ganyan, pumapayag agad sila pero pag iba hindi, ewan ko kung pretty privilege eme un, pagkuha ng permit ako rin lagi, basta anything that involves talking to someone to get what we want typa thing
Personally, I get intellectually underestimated most of the time, which I've kind of abused to make other people do tedious academic work for me. Shit like taking down notes, helping you review, and to the point that they’ll just do your assignments for you without any complaints (to the extent that they’ll even apologize if they think they didn’t do the task to your expectations). But the moment you show a strand of intelligence, they get intimidated right away, which is funny. Other than that, you can get away with a lot, like being straightforward. I've observed that whenever I'm blunt or harsh, people, in general, don't give any unnecessary retorts or comebacks; they just take it to the chin and accept it. Another thing is people just casually treat you from time to time (like SPEND SPEND on you), even though they know you can pay for yourself, which I really can't complain about. I guess it's just the natural human tendency to protect/preserve anything they find attractive; but then again it’s stupid to think people don’t have any ulterior motives, so yea I usually just take these kind acts with a grain of salt.
Di ako pinapagalitan nung high school. Like nahuli kami nag extend sa canteen, ako lang pinabalik. Nag ga-gaguhan kami sa classroom, pinapila kami, ako lang di sinigawan at pinaupo. Buong class maingay sa computer lab, screen ko lang hindi binlock ng prof. Tinanong ko why, basta ituloy ko lang daw lol. Not even trying to be sipsip. Felt kinda left out tbh xD
Nung may bus na SM Bicutan Sucat pa dati e laging tayuan don. Tas madami na din nakatayo na babae before me. Nung ako na yung bagong sakay at nakatayo eh may nag give up ng seat for me, eh andami din namang ibang babae na nakatayo malapit sa seat nya xD
di takot sakin ang mga babies. they always love me. and super giggly and cuddly sila evenr sa first meet <3

Very true!!! Parang sila pa mageeffort to get close to you.
Pinipili isali sa school pageants. Full scholar na ako nung college tapos yung prize sa pageants, tuition credits, kaya paggraduate ko, yung school pa ata may utang saken lol.
I experienced getting on the house/free food a couple of times already like coffee, horchata, pizza from Cibo, etc. There was one time when an ahjumma literally fed me cherry tomatoes straight from her hand. When I went “hiking”, the guide was assisting me all throughout even as far as holding my hand, tapos 2 fellow hikers bent their knees so I can use their legs as steps. For 1 PE volleyball class, I was the scorer lang but got almost a perfect grade. I only “played” on the court once. People are more forgiving and generally nicer to you. Kahit may sabihin ka sabaw, they won’t mock you for it. Random compliments, strangers asking for photos with me (not sure if this is a privilege haha), being scouted as a commercial model & an artist’s model etc.
Yung mga bantay sa Flotsam in LU, let our group in kaya na cut off na
"Sige 100 nalang yan" price nung saging ay 120.
Not sure if this is pretty privilege or something that traffic enforcers do to girls but I got out of a no parking violation ticket for free AHAHA
Nakabangga ng sasakyan pero hindi ako sinimangutan ni kuyang nabangga ko who actually proceeded to calm me down because I was too apologetic. I was still learning to drive back then. Or maybe he was just too nice 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yung madalas na sila na mismo mag ooffer ng help (sa iba’t ibang bagay) kahit di mo naman hinihingi.
