i do not believe this, as someone who is 'hot' professionally

But a big part of your job is acting like you believe you're hot, right?

acting like i believe i am desirable by them yes. this doesnt work nearly as well for people who aren't above a certain threshhold of hotness

as in; culturally there's *intense* mockery for unattractive people who behave outside their attractiveness ranking.

Claiming unearned status is a source of mockery in almost any sphere.

right, and 'believing youre hot makes you hot' only works if you're not claiming unearned status; i.e., if you are already hot enough to get social backing for claiming it.

have you never met a relatively unattractive-by-society's standards who you nonetheless deemed to be really hot?
I think a good media example is Abigail from girls. You can't quite tell from this picture, but in her final episodes when she falls in love, she becomes very hot

I haven't seen Girls so idk, but i can't think of an example where culture deemed an unattractive girl 'hot' in a serious way (as opposed to body positivity way)
