Do ugly people deserve pleasure?

Question

I have an opinion on it, but I just want to see what the responses to this are going to be.

I kind of dislike the word "deserve," but that's how the question was worded so here goes.

Yes, ugly people deserve the right to pursue pleasure just as much as beautiful people and average people (and I'm aware I changed the wording of your question a bit).

Of course, what is deserved and what is received are two different things. I think everyone can agree no one, the ugly, the beautiful, and everyone in between, deserves a guaranteed outcome.

A common theme among answers regarding ugly people and their pursuit of romantic pleasure is something along the lines of suggesting they date other ugly people.

The problem arises in that ugly people DO NOT FIND OTHER UGLY PEOPLE ATTRACTIVE. The same forces of evolution that made us select against mating with ugly people are equally at work in other ugly people. Think about it, if *you* don't want to date someone you're not attracted to, what on earth makes you think ugly people want to date them? They don't, and their reasons are just as valid as yours.

Fortunately, many traits that make people physically attractive are within our control. Thus, I've always advocated that unattractive people should make every effort to make themselves attractive.

If they can't, then probably the best solution is not to get into a relationship at all with someone they find unattractive, even if that means a life of loneliness (better to be lonely than in a bad relationship). I realize that this is asking them to choose between the lesser of two terrible situations, and I truly feel for them. Sadly, sometimes choices in life are between bad and awful.

I have very little patience for people who don't acknowledge that ugly people are often between a rock and a hard place. Most people readily acknowledge the difficulties that the physically disabled have, or the mentally challenged, but for some reason refuse to see the challenges ugly people face (and there are studies that show they *do* face many challenges), or curiously people think that the challenges ugly people have are entirely of their own making. With regards to dating, sometimes people adopt a rather "Oh well, it's *their* fault for being lonely and choosing *not* to be with someone they're not into." when it comes to the ugly. If you don't fault yourself for not dating ugly people, don't fault ugly people for not dating ugly people.

I'm curious to hear your opinion on it. Please let us know in an update if you can.

First of all who do you consider ugly and what pleasure you think they dont get? Now to answer your question, all people have equal rights its just that some dont get what they want due to circumstances. Humans are never satisfied with what they have and therefore end up getting regrets

Just as much as pretty people do. No one is actually entitled to pleasure.

If your face is ugly, you’ve always got your hands. We all can please ourselves.

Well the universe doesn't operate in "Deserves", that's just us imposing our will in reality. So I'm going to have to say no they don't Deserve pleasure, but neither does anybody else.
