They prance down the catwalk with style and an attitude. They get paid to wear the latest designer fashions. It seems that everyone wants to look like the latest supermodel who makes her living prancing down a runway. It sounds like a recipe for bliss, but have you considered the downsides of looking like a supermodel?
Not even supermodels always look like supermodels.
If you stop to consider the primping, pampering, and preparation that go into preparing a supermodel for the runway, you'll realize that not even a supermodel can live up to her spectacular looks. In print publications, supermodels are usually airbrushed and digitally enhanced to appear flawless. You might be quite disappointed to see how your favorite supermodel looks in person.
You may be taken less seriously in life.
If you happen to have supermodel looks, people may assume you lack brain power and deny you the chance to show your intelligence. If you want to be perceived as a serious intellect or if you're out to change the world with your thoughts and ideas, you may be taken more seriously if your looks are a bit less striking.
Men may be intimidated by you.
In more than one interview, supermodels have stated how hard it is for them to get a date. Many men feel intimidated or threatened by tall, thin, gorgeous women and won't approach them. You may get your share of cat calls and many looks of appreciation, but it may not be easy to find a good partner.
You may attract the wrong kind of man.
Have you noticed how high the divorce rate is among supermodels? Unfortunately, a supermodel is going to attract a certain type of man who values beauty and, possibly, has a low self esteem. This type of man needs a beautiful woman on his arm to feel important. To continue to boost his self esteem, he'll likely be on the prowl for the next supermodel beauty to parade around once the initial magic wears off.
You'll never find clothing to fit.
Let's face it. Clothing wasn't designed for 5'10”, size 4, supermodel types. You're going to have to search far and wide for clothing to accommodate your rather atypical figure type.
You'll probably never develop your most important assets.
If you've always depended on your supermodel looks to get by, you may not have developed more important attributes of your personality. Those who are born with less than perfect looks often go to great efforts to develop their sense of humor, creativity, and ability to relate to people. As a girl with supermodel looks, you may not project an engaging personality that transcends appearances.
It's only short term.
Supermodels like women everywhere, eventually grown old and lose some of their luster. It can be difficult to adjust to wrinkles and saggy skin when you've depended on being beautiful your entire life. Have you ever stopped to consider the rather short shelf life of a supermodel?
As you can see, there are drawbacks to looking like a supermodel. Why not accept your own unique form of beauty and show the world what you have to offer.
