I have a friend who has a fully remote job but will go to her office every 2 months or so when they do a team office day/happy hour w e. Every night before she goes she will be SOOO stressed about a) if she will be the hottest one there b) how hard it is to be the hottest one at work because then people think you're just hot and not actually smart and c) nvm she went and she is DEFINITELY the HOTTEST one in the office everyone is JEALOUS of her

She says it in a GC that's just her, one of our other college friends, and i. We used to all be really close so she goes stream of consciousness sometimes and is open with sharing (bad) hot takes but tangents like these have had me prioritizing replying to that GC less and less lately lol. When I go to the office i know I'm not the hottest lol i barely wake up in time

I just don’t even know where to begin with this post.

Lol literally why does it matter then

LOL!! Stop that’s just funny and honestly so relatable. When you’re remote you aren’t getting dressed everyday, doing your hair putting some make up etc. I literally stress myself when I have to go somewhere now that I’ve been fully remote for nearly 2 years (and it’s not permanent) and worry that people will think I got fat, let myself go, etc. I’m assuming you’re just a few years post college? It just sounds like the kind of concerns I had with friends when we were young and single and looking to have fun. Also, obviously she has emotional problems and needs support and assurance that she is pretty. It is definitely super annoying with those friends and depending on your level of friendship it may not be worth the energy.

My grandmother taught me it is ALWAYS important to put care into your appearance and how you present yourself. It’s a very important lesson for young women (and men). But yes, it’s less — am I the hottest? And more— do I look presentable, etc. she also taught me the importance of a solid handshake (do these still exist?! lol) and having a strong backbone and integrity. It all gets harder with kids and households and a busy schedule but it is always important to take care in your appearance.

like

Lol. Is this for real?

like

Booooo, get off the stage

I will say i understand wanting to look "presentable" especially as a woman more time can go into what counts as presentable but i have never thought of it as looking hot. Just "oh I'm not wfh today i need to actually get rid of my bed head and wear better clothes" I also know the halo effect is a thing but I asked if that's why she's doing it and she didn't know what it was. So the whole mindset is just very bizarre

Needing to be #1 is different from needing to meet the bar in a very toxic way

What?! Girl needs a hobby
