BrownEyedGirl Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 So, my sister-in-law says, "The reason you got so fat is because you have 'Pretty Face Syndrome'. People tell you how pretty you are and you just rest on that. I don't have a pretty face so I have to work hard on my body." Uh, thanks for the compliment... I think (?). I got to wondering about that comment and started looking at some of your pictures. There sure are a lot of pretty faces staring back at me. How many of us only look at our faces in the mirror and think, "I don't look that bad." I know I walk right past that bathroom mirror when I'm nekkie. Her theory is interesting but it doesn't explain people like "Jessica Freakin" Alba!! Also, I really don't think I'm all that pretty but it sure is nice she thinks so!

ValleyGirl Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yes, I am guilty. I used to have a bumper sticker that said "I may be fat, but you're ugly and I can diet"! Sabrina:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrina:) Oh my!! Once my brother in law called me a heifer and I said, "Fat I can fix, but ugly you're stuck with"!!! I'm still fat though ... and he's still ugly. LOL God forgive me for that. I never thought to make it a bumper sticker. I wonder if that's where that windfall of cash he got came from. He stole my insult!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogiesmom Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hmmm...I don't know, is that what you call a back-handed compliment? My sister is infamous for back-handed compliments. I have never heard of the sydrome but personally I have never had anyone say to me "you have such a pretty face..." and although I consider myself relatively attractive I would probably rate myself a 6 on a scale of 1-10. I am one of those people who is definately not photogenic and I take terrible pictures so I have a tendency to base my looks on that. If a photo is a mirror image then I have issues. I have heard of and it sounds like your sister is referring to "Butterface Syndrome" which goes something like "she has a great body but her face..."

ValleyGirl Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Butterface syndrome, hahahaha!!! I have to share that with my friends on facebook if you don't mind. On another note, I am the opposite with photos...I look better in pics than real life. It's a good thing I was never single when online dating was so popular or there would be plenty of dissapointed guys out there when they saw me up close. I know I'm not ugly, but I know I look better in pics for some reason. Sabrina:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownEyedGirl Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have heard of and it sounds like your sister is referring to "Butterface Syndrome" which goes something like "she has a great body but her face..." LOL. I wasn't going to say that because it sounded mean but she said I had Pretty Face Syndrome that's why I was fat and she had Butterface Syndrome and that's why she works on her body. But since YOU said it first I'll go ahead and share the whole story. I'm blessed in having a sister in law that's as close as a sister. She's always encouraged me in my weight loss. She wasn't being snide when she said that. Shout out to sis in law! As far as what I think, pictures of my face look better than what's in the mirror and pictures of my body just don't make sense! Just whose body is that attached to my head?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownEyedGirl Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Based on my recent research I have proven that Pretty Face Syndrome does exist. Everyone I met that also had surgery suffered from it. Even Steve!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
