Woman flaunts benefits of ‘ugly privilege’ that comes with lack of male attention
Just like pretty privilege, one woman who prides herself on being “unattractive” to male counterparts, explains in detail all the benefits she enjoys while not getting enough attention.
They say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Although the popular notion of attractiveness adheres to conventional standards, you can still reap the benefits of unconventional beauty by not fitting the bill.
Woman goes viral for flaunting ‘ugly privilege’
Let’s talk about “ugly privileges” because being pretty is too mainstream. Despite the terminology, there’s more to the unpopular ideology than meets the eye.
TikTok user Sarah’s videos discussing the benefits of lack of male attention have gathered a lot of attention as she challenges those who naturally feel bad for “unattractive” people.
She also explains that not everybody in her life finds her “ugly”; she’s found to be “pretty and cute” by many. However, most men don’t find her attractive for whatever reason.

“When I say I have ugly privilege it’s not that I necessarily think I’m an ugly individual,” she says before explaining: “What I mean by that is men in general don’t find me attractive for the most part.” They leave her alone because they find her unattractive.
While every individual’s definition of beauty differs, statistics show that men are attracted to specific features of the opposite gender – that’s why women who fashion their hair in a pony or bun get more swipes on dating apps.
Even though the thought of male attention makes her squirm because she’s mostly devoid of it, she calls it a privilege because “it’s a privilege to be left alone by men.”
Surprising benefits of being ‘unattractive’
Being “unattractive” is not so bad after all, as the TikTok user explains all the benefits she enjoys because she’s almost always invisible to men. So, bear with us before you join the pity party.
Sarah didn’t always lack male attention and even craved it in her teens and 20s. However, she couldn’t care less now that she’s older.
“I feel very free and it’s great,” she says. She doesn’t have to worry about being judged or rejected by daters just because she isn’t conventionally pretty.
To know she isn’t the only woman to feel the way she does, which is obvious from comments under most of her posts, is more liberating.
To all the critics who think she’s making up “ugly privilege” to feel good about herself, Sarah says: “You can’t possibly think we’re all lying to ourselves.”
