On a deeply personal level, obviously everyone's experience (whether pretty or ugly, traveled or not, etc) means that they are unique. But I'm mainly absolutely sick of hearing, in essence, "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY PAIN" from people who, really, should just shut the fuck up because we've all been there, we've all done that. We are members of the same species - we can communicate. A lot of people seem to think that actually, we can't because no one can understand them, but we're all human. Beings that couldn't communicate (aside from, obviously, the extremely mentally-abnormal) would be, like, trying to get a fish and an elephant to have a discourse. It's just a shorthand for saying, to my way of thinking, that a person doesn't care to put the effort into explaining why they feel as they do, because then they might (horrors!) be understood. There are a lot more similarities between the pretty girls' experience of men and the ugly girls' experience of men than there are differences - but if both sides shout that the other can't understand what's happening, no one will ever find that out.
