Do ugly children become ugly adults?

Oranage2 · 07-08-2014 08:12AM #1

So I'm in work, a kindergarten, and some kids are pretty and some are ugly. Got me thinking, do ugly children stay ugly?

Please discuss!

Ugly ducklings become beautiful swans. Did you not get the memo?

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 07-08-2014 08:16AM

Dunno OP are you ugly? Were you an ugly child?

Sunnyisland · 07-08-2014 08:16AM

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder o mr gorgeous orange :-)

Ask the ugly kids parents when they pick them up, there might be a genetic trend... More importantly find employment in an industry where your personality is more fitting.

It works in reverse too... There was a few people in my class when I was in school that were good looking kids that are absolute rotters now

Lots of ugly girls in school turned into stunners, The stunners in school became fat with loads of kids.

Barely There · 07-08-2014 08:29AM

Fat kids have a pretty good chance of becoming fat adults.

Paddy Cow · 07-08-2014 08:29AM

Well if you look at good looking female celebrities, nearly all of them at one stage have claimed they were the ugly/goofy looking one at school who never got hit on by the boys.

FairytaleGirl · 07-08-2014 08:29AM

In general ugly kids grow into their features and become cracking adults (Angelina Jolie, that guy who played Neville in Harry potter are two that really stick out)

I was a gorgeous kid, now I'm an absolute munter

Surely just a feel good generalization?

The "Duckling and Swan" thing is a frail hope clung onto by people who, genetically-speaking, should not be procreating outside of highly secure military facilities. When that one inevitably falls through, they move onto the whole "beauty is only skin-deep" fallacy.

Aw poor kids being judge on appearance

. Isn't that what adulthood is for?!

Ihatecuddles · 07-08-2014 08:47AM

I was really ugly until I was about 5, Im not the worst looking now though

Pablodreamsofnew · 07-08-2014 08:51AM

I had those 'welfare glasses' when I was a kid. ugh.

I jumped like a crazy kids on those glasses and smashed them to bits and them hid them under the mat.

I had a lazy eye too! Still turns slightly if I'm really really tired of badly hungover.
I'm kind of proud of it though

My husband hasn't noticed it yet though. I've tried to make it turn for him

I guess I'm probably still ugly now but married to my best friend! So whatever :P

I wouldn't say that. Nice-looking kid, in a kid sort of way - she looks like Caroline Wozniacki. As an adult, she's more like a malnourished doll! :pac:

Try to make it part of your orgasm routine - that'll hop him off the ceiling! :pac::pac::pac:

They stay ugly and then work in a creche.

we've been together this long and I haven't achieve the 'lazy eye look' while having sex, I'm starting to give up hope! Whats the point in having a lazy eye as a kid if it goes by the time you are an adult and have some fun with it?

louisenf2014 · 07-08-2014 09:18AM

I remember reading an article about how lots of research had been done and the better looking you are the easier your life will be. It starts when you're a kid and teachers will subconsciously have more time for you and be nicer to you without setting out to do so. It then continues on as you get older, you get more breaks. According to the article anyway. That said, i've encountered plenty of beautiful people who were a little vacant. As in, there was never any great need to develop a personality. I wasn't an ugly kid, pretty plain I guess but was chubby until I hit my twenties. After I shed the weight it was actually shocking how differently I was received (and still am).

I think if a child is pretty much mutant-like and is clearly a product of poor genetics it's not going to go away but goofy teeth and gigantic lips etc - that can all develop OK with time.

Do ugly children become ugly adults?
