Valentine’s Day: a time to celebrate romance, friendship, and eating 2x your body weight in chocolate. But the holiday of love is not all roses and champagne for some of us, especially pretty girls. (Okay, actually it is.) But all that love can actually be a bad thing. Here’s why:
Most people think hot girls have it made on V-Day. And to some extent, we do. But there’s a downside to all that adoration and gift-receiving. Sure, we get showered with heart-covered Valentine’s Day cards, poems, and love notes. But we also have to deal with unwanted advances, creepy e-cards, and the expectation of rocking some truly sexy (and uncomfortable) V-Day lingerie.
Single people can complain all they want about the sadness of being alone on Valentine’s day, but the pressure of being hot on a day that’s all about sex and romance is totally overwhelming. The grass is always greener on the other side. And here on the side of super attractive people, that grass is littered with unmet expectations, lame stuffed animals, and unsatisfying dinners.
If you’re tired of hearing your less-cute friends complain about how lucky you are on Feb. 14, send them this list. The world should know that pretty girls problems (#PGPs) are just as tough as ugly people ones. Maybe it’s time for the rest of the world to stop trying to think up good Valentine’s Day date ideas, and start appreciating how hard it is to constantly be pestered and obsessed over.
We can’t help that we’re beautiful, but we want real love too! Which of these Valentine's Day #PGPs have you had to deal with in your life? Vote for the most annoying ones below!

Post-Chocolate Binge Stomach Aches
You can't not eat them. And all those calories? Ugh.
Getting Asked Out by Your Friend's Crush
Are we supposed to say no just because she saw him first?
Trying to Figure Out Who Sent You That Creepy Anonymous Valentine
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I like your pink dress.
I'm watching you.***
***Actual anonymous Valentine from a secret admirer that has been received by more than 75% of hot girls.
After Your Looks Fade, You Realize People Only Liked You Because You're Pretty
Even if you're a beautiful vampire like J. Lo, eventually time catches up with you. When it does, all of that adoration will suddenly start to disappear. That's when you realize that people were only being good to you because they were hoping to get into your pants tiny skirt.
Getting Unwanted Gifts from Awkward Guys
Yeah, it's nice to get presents. But when those presents come from guys who you aren't necessarily in to, things can get awkward. Best case, you have to let down a nice guy. Worst case, you piss off a huge creeper who ends up stalking you for the rest of the year.
No One Feels Bad For You When You're Lonely
News flash: hot girls get lonely too. There are plenty of reasons we might be alone on the day of love. Maybe we just rejected the nice guy at the coffee shop because he was too short; maybe we just dumped our boyfriend for giving us a terrible Christmas present; maybe we just friend-zoned our favorite classmate. Just because we look great in our sweats while eating Ben & Jerry's doesn't mean we can't feel the pangs of isolation.
Dealing with Exes
We dumped you for a reason (probably because you forgot our three week anniversary). Just because you're overcome with the romantic spirit of the holiday, doesn't mean we are. Find a new (less hot) girlfriend.
Lugging Around All Those Presents
You'd never complain about getting tons of chocolates, cards, and balloons, right? Guess again! Shlepping those things between classes or from your office to your car to your house is exhausting. We don't need another workout.
Dealing with High Sex-pectations
Yes, I look great in lingerie. Yes, I take barre classes and can get my leg behind my head.
Catching Shade From Jealous Girls
I'm sorry that people are so jealous of me... but I can't help it that I'm so popular.
