It is definitely a thing. You always see the hottest girls working at the fancy companies that pay the most. They get hired mostly for their looks.
It is well known that taller men have an advantage in getting hired.
Nobody wants an older person working for them. I am almost 50 and I am afraid I have gotten as far as I am going to in my career because of my age.
Yes. 100%. Being attractive always makes a better first impression and first impressions are hard to change
Pretty sure there have also been been studies that show attractive people are more likely to be hired and receive promotions, and thus earn more on average
atp we all got some type of privilege 😂😂😂 and yea pretty privilege exists... like u can get millions of followers just for being pretty nd not have a talented bone in you're body tiktok is proof of that
Yes it is a thing. It is proven scientifically I guess that good looking people can get away with things more than average or below average looking people.
Thanks doopayo!
Np :)
Yes and no. In general society, yes. But in certain segments, especially male dominated careers, being pretty is an impediment. People assume pretty women in law, medicine, engineering either slept their way there, were kept there to “boost morale” of male colleagues, or won’t last because they will find their MRS degree and leave to stay home.
I don't think it a privilege as much as there are desperate people who try 2 simp on pretty people in hopes of getting they attention.
Some pretty people can find them and take advantage of them
Studies have confirmed that, on average, good looking people, both men and women, are treated better than are people who look average or lower.
I wouldn't necessarily call it privilege. Are there perks that come with being highly attractive? Sure. But most people aren't, and just being pretty or handsome doesn't come with much because most people are generally decent looking.
I have a friend who uses it to her advantage but doesn't believe that such a thing exists or that she does it.
It's definitely a thing. Attractive people have been getting away with skating by on looks for decades.
yes pretty privaleged is a thing. The photo you presented is a pretty girl, however I'm not attracted to her. So pretty is in the eyes of the beholder
Yeah, but if someone does you a favor because you're pretty are they really doing it for you? Or themselves? It's my guess is being pretty probably gets you harrassed more than anything.
Being pretty might actually be a curse.
This is true, theirs a video I saw on this that goes in to more detail and explains this concept really well

100% it is... anyone who thinks it's not is foolish... and it doesn't go by white or black. Example it goes by shade of colour... if an Indian and a dark person walk into a store... the fact is the darker man will get followed before the lighter one.
Being good looking just gets the door open. It doesn't affect anything else.
100%
Humans prefer beautiful to ugly. So beautiful people benefit from that. And ugly people suffer because of it.
Yes, before I gained weight and looked “more attractive” I definitely got away with a lot more or had people be nicer/do favors. The prettier you look, the more you can get
In some cases, yes. I think being pretty can be damaging in certain situations too, though.
Up to a point.
a pretty but boring, dull, moaning awkward etc person will get less than normal one.
yes precisely
yesss people let them get away with things that otherwise they wouldn't.
its pretty much a human weakness of ours.
It could work both ways. If you want to find a guy to do things for you like buy you gifts and fix your car, it will be an advantage. But they may take you less seriously in other ways — like in the professional world, where I don’t think being pretty will cut it. Better to develop your personality and your experience because youthful prettiness won’t last forever.
