A bit of long-term observer perspective; I'm probably an average to maybe slightly above average looking guy but I have three sisters who are the absolute fire. Mom was of Italian descent, dad was of Northern European extraction, our genetic profile nailed the absolute best traits of both insofar as what our culture seems to value. Full, chiseled Italian features, light Scandinavian complexion and eye color, very tall, etc. We're all within 5 years of one another, had a lot of the same peer group, etc, my sisters were basically the hottest girls in school at every phase of school for their entire lives.
So I always grew up with people constantly commenting on my sisters, to the point where I just kinda took it as 'one of those things'. Yes, the world treats people who look like them very, very differently but if there is one single thing that illustrates it, its this.
Recently out of college, one of my sisters remarked that in her entire life, she never went on a single job interview where she didn't get offered the job, save for if the interviewer was a woman, at which time she NEVER got offered the job. She was batting 1.000 on all job interviews, UNLESS the interviewer was a woman, at which point she was batting 0.000. Other sister confirmed basically the same thing.
Another sister has the blessing/curse situation of being truly intelligent and freakishly pretty. She has always been bookish, more interested in intellectual pursuits but the world just assumes she will be a certain way because of how she looks and treats her in a way that she fucking hates. Net result is she tends to gravitate towards eccentric types.
I would also totally suggest this: anyone who is 'intimidated' by beautiful women thinking that they would have no interest in you because you aren't proportionally as attractive, don't be. I've watched my entire life as my sisters have attracted guys from the Genetic A-Team (super good looking, sky high prospects in life and/or already wealthy) but they all wound up with guys who didn't fit that mold.
Related tangent: I went to high school with and am somewhat well acquainted with a guy who is about a B list level television celebrity. Whenever he's in town, we get together and catch up. I've been in bars, restaurants when people have come up to him gushing, asking for autographs. He fucking hates it. I notice a lot of his sentiments about celebrity are very similar to my sisters sentiments about beauty in that its something he has, something that benefits him but something he gets sick of (and yes, he still to this day tries to bang one of my sisters).
