I think there is something to this. The grass is always greener on the other side, but from a male perspective hot girls seem to have the world: everyone pays attention to you (even other girls), you can basically be in a relationship with nearly anyone you want especially if you’re straight, and nearly everyone tries to make the world easier and better for you whenever you’re around.

For men — even a lot of way above-average men — the experience of the world is the diametric opposite of that. The world does not cater to you, considers you disposable, and you’re treated as a default rapist by nearly everyone. Quite a different experience!

Of course, being a hot girl is not that simple. Most only want you for something you can give them (sex, status) and not for anything in particular about you. You’re just a tool or an accessory. A lot of the attention you receive is from people wanting that and/or wishing to harm you in some way. And if you’re an introvert, having people always up in your face is quite frustrating and can turn you into a recluse.

But I can understand where the hate comes from. From the other side, seeing none of the disadvantages, it looks like hot girls have the world on a platter. What you can’t easily determine from a distance is though the food on that platter is top quality, someone has taken a small shit in it.
