I don't think she is ugly at all, but my natural human curiosity would probably cause me to look at her a little longer than I normally would. I am not trying to be a dick by staring, honestly.

I hate it when people stare at me.

To be fair, giant sentient ants are not a daily thing for most people.

she is considered the most ugliest woman in the world ? Wont upvote it as I did not watch the entire video but.. uhhhhh. . . Seems sensationalized as she clearly is not the ugliest, a couple things are off sure but I actually find her kinda cute. wtf ? This video seems like a sham. Dr.Drew is a sham, his whole god damn show is a joke. If that guy is a registered Doctor then they must of been giving practitioners licenses out with the penny candy at the local corner store back when he was 12.

I tend to think I'm a fairly average looking dude, but when I moved to Thailand 5+ years ago, I noticed that people would stare at me all the time. It made me self-conscious at first, in a "what, do I have a booger on my nose?" sort of way. Over time I realized that in the off-the-beaten-track province that I live in, a fairly hefty proportion of people see western foreigners very rarely or even never. Just like you said, they aren't trying to be dicks by staring. I'm just different -- and different is worth checking over somewhat more than usual.

I got used to it, and now I don't notice it unless I am consciously checking -- but it does still happen. Then again, it is probably a little bit easier to get used to the "blatant curiosity" that I am exposed to here as compared to the more negative elements visible in the faces of people that stare at Lizzie every day...

I wouldn't call her the ugliest woman. Actually I find women that are unkempt/unhealthy (read dirty/morbidly obese) are far less attractive than her. If she were able to fix that one wonky eye, I'd even put her on the 12-pack list. 12-pack of IPAs but 12-pack nonetheless

"You should stop staring and start learning!"

But, people who stare are learning. They're learning her face and the visible symptoms of her condition, and becoming comfortable with it. She's confounding formal education with learning. The extra info about her condition would be great too, but you can't expect me not to look. I'd want to stare at her if I saw her. I'd do it subtly, if I could. I stared at her intently when I was watching the video, glad she couldn't see me. It wasn't because she was ugly, but because she was different looking, and anything outside my experience gets more attention.

"What is beautiful?"

It's a genetically evolved emotion-based assessment of the appearance of things. Animals use it to instantly and subconsciously assess physical health, emotional health, physical strength, life expectancy, and genetic quality. In this case, our beauty assessment function instantly tells potential mates that Ms. Velasquez is an unhealthy person, not the best choice for procreation, and it's right. Cruel world, I know, but that's one way species survive.
