I have never been pretty, never been the most attractive person in the room, and human relationships don't feel like a contest to me either -- but I've often sensed that the prettier women did feel they were competing, and that they were eliminating me in the first round. It was odd to see that confirmed, because generally if you ask people why they are making all that effort they say it is because they like to.
