A good name is better than a good face?

[apexalpha]

Meaning a good reputation is better than a beautiful appearance, do you agree with this?

yea

nay

other

[NearlyNapping]

Better how? Do you mean what should be better? Or what's better at actually being successful?

I use a little broader definition of "beauty" to mean all the types of things that make a person likable and attractive to other people. I consider that to be the most important trait for success. Obviously it's not exclusive of other traits. But if a person could pick one trait that gives them the best chance of success, it would be this kind of attractiveness.

Even with hiring managers, there have been studies showing that this is often cited as the #1 trait they are looking for. They want someone who fits in, is friendly, gets along with other employees, is pleasant to be around. If a person is the opposite and causes tension with other employees, they won't get hired no matter how good their reputation, intelligence, experience and skills are. (Except maybe in some extreme cases)

The attractive personable person has so many more doors and opportunities opened to them.

Reputation is definitely important. A good reputation can really help. A bad reputation can really hurt. But a bad reputation is more easily overcome than being someone that other people don't want to be around.

a good personality brings a good reputation if im correct

[NearlyNapping]

Very often yes. But you didn't give the "both" option. It was a mutually exclusive question.

If it was me, I'd want it all, the best of everything :)

[apexalpha]

yes of course

[lifes_curve_ball]

Personally? Absolutely I agree.

As far as how society as a whole is trending to and has been for a bit not in the least. People will trust the biggest criminals just because they don't look the part and mistrust those who won't do them harm just because they look different or scary.

[apexalpha]

yep false appearances

[Complicated-Soul]

Oh shoot, I thought you used the W word, lol

If you're only talking about reputation, then I would say yes. But if you're talking about something different, then I would say no.
Because people are judged based on their looks.

[apexalpha]

You could be beautiful and be hated

[menina]

That's true. But I guess that rarely happens.

[menina]

Thank you for the MHO :)

[bubbletrouble]

Reputation more important than beauty?
Depends on who you ask. To me yeah.

[Frost_Byt3]

Haha, that's funny. Don't you realize how shallow our society is nowadays? Maybe that was true in the 50s 😑

[apexalpha]

agreed

[OrangeBoy]

I dont care about reputations. I am the one that decides what to thing of a person.

[LovesTVDx]

Damn I voted before I understood the question lol. I thought you meant is a good name, like of the person, more important than their face? 😂 oh my

[LittleSally]

For me yup, for a LOT of people - no.

[AmandaLynn1930]

Agree for the most part...

[apple24]

yes a good rep is better than beauty.

[Maxemeister]

No. Not at all. I would date a girl named Tim xD

[AmethystAngel]
