The amount of hostility in these comments really do highlight the animosity some people hold towards people that are conventionally attractive (or rather, merely acknowledge their attractiveness). I can't say if it is insecurity or arrogance nor can I read the minds of other commentators, but the implications behind not believing in attractive people if they are aware of their looks/confident with them, etc. is quite ridiculous.

Why is it so insulting for people to admit to finding themselves (or others finding them) attractive? I thought confidence was a positive attribute to possess. Heck, I attract attention due to my looks in my major city of residence and I am still not confident in many aspects (including English as you can probably tell, I am french). Also, I have anxiety from OCD and the approach some men take to establish courtship can be absolutely horrifying (mind you, I am very aware of how OTT it is to make such an implication, emotions cloud rationality).

For that matter, why is it so unbelievable that people on DW/LJ garner the attention of men due to their physical features? The average person's positive opinion of attractiveness is not so hard to attain, it is not a proposal of marriage. Intelligence, personality, talent/abilities are infinitely more difficult to attain compared to inheriting the perceived great genetics of the times and existing.

There is nothing wrong with being confident in oneself for mere appearances when it is hard to be confident at all. And anyway, attractive people are many times still insecure with themselves due to comparing their looks with others more attractive or for other factors all together (personally, intelligence and familial matters out of my control). I was misdiagnosed with anorexia two years ago back in the middle school and the comments of non-ana afflicted females that admitted to being thin not being /truly/ thin with girls of the ana community remind me so much of this thread. If you believe you are thin than you are not thin enough was a mantra for pro-ana girls, promoting a downward spiral of madness and self hatred. The hostility towards confidence in appearance/confidence in being thin breeds more doubt and self loathing, damaging your physical/emotional health in the process.

(Just fyi, I am not insinuating most people on this thread are resentful of attractive people; honestly, I think most project disbelief because of the nature of this site and stereotype of people who frequent fandom type communities).

Oh, and WNTW does improve the peoples' makeup and hair (remotely, but it does make a huge difference), but not their titular problems. Those stylist choose the most atrocious, department store contemporary outfit/uniforms for everyone, it makes me cringe to see them blindly accept it. They always end up looking like wearable modern art. The only upside is the cut/silhouette of the ensembles they pick out are admittedly figure-flattering and that's what matter to most/what people need help with most. I have yet to see too much of this show (although, it does sound humorous) and have no remote interest in beauty/fashion, but both my mother and older relative of mine work in the realm of fashion and I have seen the WNTW host's fashion line, I'm almost positive that is the clothes they are limited to stocking their new wardrobes with.
