The “Leveling Up” Trap

Every single goal you can fathom requires a strategy. And…a fucking brain. So if you want to be pretty, cool. But at the very least be a pretty bitch with a brain!

The main problem I see with leveling up is that nobody is sure what they are leveling up to, or for. Only women who do not know what they want out of life think they must rest all of their laurels on being visually appealing to achieve anything, by being at the mercy of those who have something! And, that’s if these individuals want to even share what they have with you! Being attractive does not guarantee anyone else’s generosity, dear.

The house of cards that leveling up built can crumble when more women decide what their end goal is, and how much being pretty can help them actualize it. Instead, they are too busy being preoccupied with the notion that beauty and charm is all they need to get by in life; not realizing that beauty and charm will always be at the mercy of brains, strategy, influence, resources and of course power.

Through leveling up, women desperately want pretty and slim privilege to open doors for them and grant them opportunities they think aren’t available to ugly women. Well, I am here to tell you there aren’t that many rewards solely being attractive can get you. And in the grand scheme of things being gorgeous doesn’t matter as much as you think.
