I come from Vancouver, and here 'gorgeous' girls are judged, but mostly on a the demographics of the location. The target market is most likely to " ... [...]" and will usually like
"... [...]" The 'gorgeous girls' in Vancouver, especially, in Downtown, think they are the hottest mini cooper that ever graced god's green earth. Me, my friends, my acquaintances, and all the other people i have interviewed speak of the same thing. We have to practice peripheral vision, or just give a blank stare forward, never straying our eyes just once, because we will get the "piss off, i'm too hot for you, i'm too damn pretty to acknowledge you"
If they are lonely, it's because they choose to shoo people away. If they are beautiful, actual, or imaginary, they will in a way to be anti-social, strangely, the accepted norm is for beautiful people to act this way, if they weren't than it would be considered weird, not normal, out of the norm. I only used Vancouver as a life experience example, because i do not want to comment on the entire earth's population of 'beautiful people' because I have no experience there.

I think this post about beautiful people is just a way of saying "hey, it's not their fault" just like those stereotypical kid films about the bullys treating the main character like mini cooper (so the viewer can relate to them, of course) and than the next scene, the bully comes home to a abusive dad, and than we get the "ohhh, that's why the bully is a bully" thing.
On another note, for those computer anime watchers, often times 'geeky', you are the Target Market. Every wonder why you say 'oh i enjoyed that so much, i wonder why' it's because the anime was catered specifically for you. The main character in animes aren't the 'down on their luck', and 'bad with woman' by accident. They are designed so the main audience, the target market, will be able to relate to the main character. A big boob chested girl, who is the hottest girl in the class, who just so happened to confess their feelings for you, the underdog, most likely isn't going to happen in real life. This relates to the above example.
stereotypical main character traits:
- computer programmer (onegai twins)
- college student, lack of social network, gets hot chick (chobits)
- uni hopeful (love hina)
- just happens to get married to a hot chick because he knows she's a alien, just so happens to be forced to share a bed, and also the main character is a student (onegai teacher)
to tie this in with the beautiful people example, this little poem here was made so we go 'ohh, that's why those girls act the way they do, it's okay, i will not judge them from now on, it's not their fault their so bitter!'
for those 'pretty people' please do not ruin the image equity of those innocent 'pretty people' who do not act in such a stuck up pinkberry manner, who do not act in such a 'i'm the hottest mini cooper ever, i am above the mere mortals' thing, because we (vancouver residents) have a reputation of poor social quality girls, just like how Surrey is becoming the next Sussex of England.
ahhh, feels good to rant, i've been meaning to get this off my chest for a while.
Just Google "Vancouver Girls" first search result.
