Here in Italy we have two ways to address to an other (singular) person. We basically use "you" as following :
TU : informal, for people you know well but not for people you know but are work contacts. Children and teenaager are always adressed with "tu"
LEI : formal, for adults you are not in confidence with. You basically don't say "tu" to doctors, teachers, lawyers or even the market employee you see everyday but who is still a "stranger"to you. No one of coirse woild use "lei" for kids and teenagers.
This affects even the way you formulate a sentence :
Grcoery store employe who sell meat : cosa TI do? (informal) (roughly translated "what do you want?)
same guy as above : cosa desiderA (not cosa desiderI which would be "tu") (roughly translated "how can I serve you?)
How does this affect ugly men?
Simple. Basically people even slightly older than you (hell even slightly younger) call you TU as you were a fucking child.
BUT foids even slightly younger than you (of foids in general) call you LEI to bring formality and by doing so keeping a distance as if you were some 100 years old mummy.
Immagine noticing this difference every fucking time you interact with the world as a brutal reminder of you place in social hierachy as an ugly subhuman. And you cannot even react because telling people to use LEI is considered rude and pretentious whil telling people to use TU is considered predatory and creepy. I really envy you if in your language there's not this distinction. Over for pizzamandolinocels.
