In a viral TikTok video, a Chilean content creator named Michelle Peint has sparked a debate about the challenges attractive women can face in finding romantic partners.
Peint, who has over 271,000 followers on the platform, opened up about her difficulties with dating in a video titled "The Curse of Being Beautiful."
"It is very difficult for a man to approach me and talk to me," Peint said in the video, which has been viewed over 19 million times.
She went on to describe a specific encounter where a man she had asked out told her directly that she looked "super unattainable" due to her beauty.
Peint recounts a specific encounter where she asked a man why he had not approached her, and he directly told her that she looked "super unattainable" due to her beauty, especially in comparison to himself.
"One time, I dared to ask the guy, do you like me or did I draw your attention, why didn't you approach me and he told me this ... just look at yourself and look at me. You look super unattainable. I was like what?" Peint recounted.
The 27-year-old small business owner shared that people often tell her that her Instagram inbox should be flooded with date requests from men because of her attractiveness.
Peint countered by saying she talks to her mom the most on WhatsApp.
Peint explained that when men do approach her, they are usually "too shy" or "nervous" to have a normal conversation.
She mentioned that when men approach her, they're often very shy or nervous. They also comment frequently on her appearance.
Michelle Peint shares that due to her beauty, men are often too shy or nervous to approach her.
As a result, she believes that "beautiful women" end up linking with partners who are "not as pretty" as them.
Peint feels this is because men struggle to approach and date women they perceive as too "unattainable" because of their exceptional looks.
Some have empathized with Peint's struggles, while others have been more skeptical, arguing that having exceptional beauty is more of an advantage than a disadvantage when it comes to finding a partner.
She’s alright but it’s way hotter women out here who don’t have this attitude, one user said.
As the saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." The fact that she calls herself beautiful and blames being too beautiful to snag a bloke, tells me she isn't, the second user said.
Bless your heart poor thing. Beauty is only skin deep and you’ve got a lot to learn, the third user commented.
Hahaha, these girls that blame their beauty for not being able to get a man, an ego and attitude overhaul is what is needed, and perhaps lessons in humility, another wrote.
Ironically I believe her. Beauty is turning into a curse. It's like this in other Countries as well. But perhaps the beauty she is implying falls under promiscuity, someone commented.
In a video, Susie expressed concern that her children could be bullied at school due to her attractiveness.
Susie's self-proclaimed status as a "hot mum" sparked cruel responses from some online users.
They left hurtful comments suggesting Susie was not actually attractive, with one person saying she looked more like a janitor than an attractive mother. Others implied her looks were artificial due to enhancements like breast implants and hair treatments.
In her popular video, Susie talked about the mean comments she got and read some of them.
She said even though they hurt, it's important to love yourself. She ended the video with "You have to laugh. Have a good Monday!"
