This is a trend that I think I just noticed.

Most very attractive people (young adults in particular) seem to have a near-permanent stone-faced expression on their face in public. They either never say anything or never say much and come across to me as very-unfriendly.

Being a young adult straight single male, by default I've noticed this primarily with young women, but I've also noticed this amoung young guys too when I was bored.

Perhaps it is just my area.
The Greater Toronto Area is known for residents to be pretty cold or indifferent to strangers.
Perhaps I'm only noticing this because actractive people tend to draw more attention.

Or maybe I'm on to something...

A lot of hot girls put up the "b**ch shield" because they're so sick of getting hit on constantly by guys. I guess it must get really annoying after a while, so they figure if they put up that shield it will reduce the douches hitting on them a bit, haha. I can't say I blame them. Once you get to know them, most hot girls are just as nice as anyone else, it's just a front. But I know it can be frustrating.

When I think Toronto, I think "everything AND the kitchen sink." I think I read somewhere that the UN or some major organization declared Metro Toronto to be the world's most multi-ethnic area, on a per capita basis anyway. However, the ethnicity and attractiveness (is that a word?) are different topics, though some people think of some ethnic groups as being collectively more attractive than others.

I think that there's a chip on someone's shoulder to ward off unwelcomed advances, or deter someone from thinking there's a possibility...when there isn't. A lot of attractive people also seem to have an entitlement problem...that is, they are accustomed to having things "handed to them" more easily to them than they generally are to "average" folks.

Sometimes that's true. Other times it's just that they are more confident, and they carry themselves in a way that intimidates other people sometimes, which is natural.

From personal experience I noticed that most attractive women who shop at Bloomingdale's are stuck up as hell.

Good observation! What gave it away??? The fancy store with the outlandish prices or the fancy store with the outrageous prices???

after hearing "nice ****" from a few hundred old men as they walk by on the street i think nice looking young women learn to develop an icy appearance to ward off such unpleasantness. or so i'm told :P
a better question would be, why does every man on earth believe it's his duty to try his luck with those women? i think if good looking young women were treated like everyone else around them, then they wouldnt have to be so icy and cold looking.
