I'm a fairly tall good looking dude and I can't help but shake the feeling I have "pretty privilege"- as it we're.

Food for my morning thought I guess.

I have good days and bad, and on the rare days I'm composed it's noticeable that people treat me better. Like, it's hard to quantify but they'll be more responsive/receptive, like people will strike up conversations and they'll laugh at shitty jokes that shouldn't land. Other days I'm a trash goblin and people would rather stand than sit next to me on the train lolllll. I can't imagine what it would like to be attractive all the time.

Yeah I'm not like fucking drop dead gorgeous or anything. I'm just a regular average attractive Joe. Enough so that dudes will straight-up call me "pretty boy" or ill get free stuff from women cashiers occasionally. Which is why I asked this in the first place haha
