Why did KC surround herself with people "less attractive" than herself?

[EastSideOfSaddness]

She was the perfect girlfriend because she was so very easy? Let's face it, guys will go for the easiest 75% of the time

monixide, you crack me up. :lick:

Many, many years ago, while I was still in college, I learned that if a person has a personality disorder, it's extremely unlikely that they will only have one; that they're not as cut-and-dried as they would seem to be in the DSM and that there are many possible overlaps.

Wow...it's crazy that narcissism and low self-esteem can go hand in hand but I totally get it now that you all brought this up. I'm sure by the time Casey goes to trial there will be a full psychological profile done. I'm dying to see those results!

So true Jersey...

Earlier I had to edit my post because it sounded like a grocery list of PD's...BPD, APD, Narcissism, etc.

KC is a textbook case study into multiple disorders.

imho she appears simply more "photogenic"

I could see why some might want to read into the fact that she had some less attractive friends. I looked on her myspace and facebook accounts, and she did have some friends that were a lot prettier than she. However, in most of the pictures of her and her friends, she is with girls that aren't super attractive. I don't think Casey is very stunning. I think that in some pictures, she just looks better than her friends. It could be that she just posted pictures of where she looked good in her pics and everyone else looked like crap.

My sister is a lot prettier than Casey and most of her friends do not hold a candle to my sister. I think that is because my sister gets a little jealous sometimes of the pretty ones around her husband though.. Also, my sister is beautiful and it would be difficult for her to have many friends that were more attractive.

On the other side, my ex-sister-in-law (who I think is Casey's psychological twin) has ugly friends. I don't think that she hangs around less attractive people because it makes her feel better. I think that it is because beautiful classy people do not want to associate themselves with her because she's weird...

it might be closer to 98 percent :crazy:

Yeah I guess I was being nice to guys cause I am one. More like 99% honestly

 

[tiredofthis]

People who have a low self esteem tend to choose friends this way.
How is this relavent to Caylee's disappearance ?

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

I really haven't perceived this to be the case at all---I don't think she's particularly good-looking, and her friends do not strike me in any way as less attractive. They are, however, somewhat less flashy--and that, I would assume, is because she has some histrionic features to her major personality disorder.

ETA: She's not attracted to long-term relationships--she surrounds herself with people who serve her purposes at the moment. Little else goes into decision-making. Perhaps if she were interested in creating a long-term facade, she would choose someone of her own imagined high caliber. But chances are, she'd be more inclined to find someone who's simply vulnerable to her form of manipulation.

My father is a sociopath. He lucked out and married a beautiful emotional cripple.

Forgive me for being a bit off topic, but...

Have any of you read of any relationship KC had where she ended it? It seems she was dumped each time. There seems to be a common theme of her boyfriends getting tired of her, of her being too clingy and needy, etc.

There was a lot of Facebook/My Space activity, but I don't see her as popular or "sought after" in life. Instead, she appears to have been desperately trying to find, attract and keep a boyfriend. But she was never able to keep one. She was always the one who was dumped.

So what I'm seeing is not a popular girl who guys flocked to. I see an increasingly desperate, even frantic, girl.

I think Casey's friends are better looking than she is. She has youth on her side, but that is it. She is short, she has freckles or moles on her face, big ole front teeth and tattoos.

Men may like her because she is a little spinner, but I have modeled in my past and worked as a booking agent for a modeling agency and I could not get Casey work in print, runway and would be pushing it to even suggest perfume promotion.

I am not sure why people seem to think she is "pretty"?

Tricia, I apologize for the title on the previous thread.

I have found myself perplexed by the constant borage of pictures of KC with friends who seem to be "subjectively" less attractive than her.

You may argue perspective or symantics....most of her "friends" on her pics seem to be heavier or "less" attractive than KC is.

Why has she attached herself to this group of friends? To feel superior? To manipulate? (I've been manipulated by a "friend" who was prettier, I felt she had the "Inside" track)

Most self-centered pretty people surround themselves by what they deem "their own"?

I doubt KC has a higher sense of upbringing that prohibits her from discriminating from others by appearance.

I think she has chosen her group by how it benefits her.

Opinions?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally think a couple of her friends are prettier than her....JMO.

Casey is no beauty queen in my eyes. Other than being thin and able to wear a bikini after being a mom, the rest of her is "blah".

 

[halleyscomet]

Proof that you can't tell a book by its cover, that's for sure. Inside, KC is an ugly, ugly human.

 

[Marple]

I find KC and her friends to be just very average looking young people. If I saw any of them on the street, I wouldn't be able to identify them in a line-up later because nothing about any of them is striking (to me).

 

[Shavaun]

IMO this thread is unnecessary

Thanks.

 

[DazzlinDebSD]

Actually I think her friends are more attractive then her, they arent habitual liars and under arrest

:clap:

 

[PhoneBoothBandit]

I think this thread is all subjective and does come down to perception.

I saw girls in those photos who I think were as equally as physically attractive as Casey, some who were more physically attractive and some whom were less attractive. I'm not really sure what this is supposed to prove, or what theory it is supposed to support? That Casey is selfish, she's a narcissist? Even if that's so, it doesn't necessarily equate to her being a murderer.

I think as we get more info on what actually happened to Caylee and what exactly Casey did, it will be helpful to look back at threads such as this and analyze the psychology of Casey's actions. When the trial starts and we hear her friend's testimonies, this thread will be even more relevant than it is now.

Relax people! lol No one's being attacked and if you actually read the thread, there is interesting and intelligent discussion. Please don't continue to interrupt the thread with anything other than that.
