Do you think being remembered is more powerful then being liked?

I remember a woman who worked in fashion told me online in response to a comment I made that networks do not choose models who are extremely good looking because a very good looking face is easier to forget than a unique face. Models are remembered if they look unique, not if they look very very pretty, and when people remember the face and body, they remember the product they are trying to sell. It's how Donald Trump came to power when nobody likes his personality, he is unique so he gets attention, and Kamala Harris is normal so people avoid talking about her.

It's a common ploy, Hitler cultivated his famous look so he'd stand out, Boris Johnson would mess up his hair before interviews, Trump adopts the smug satsuma look. Look at any group photo there's always one person who seems to pop out and draw the eye. A blonde girl in a room of brunettes will attract attention even if she isn't the best looking. Job interviewers will remember candidates more if they have a certain look about them.

Wannabe models on Instagram, tiktok etc get it wrong because they all look the same, no one stands out or gets remembered. It's also why criminals adopt the same look, it makes it harder for witnesses to pick them out. Take a man in a red cap, he'll stand out a mile but if lots of people are wearing them it becomes a disguise because that's what you remember. Intelligence agencies prefer people who don't have strong features that stand out, boring is better

The power of being remembered versus being liked depends on the context and what one values most.

Being remembered often implies making a lasting impact, standing out, or influencing others in a way that persists over time. It’s tied to legacy, significance, and the ability to inspire or provoke thought long after a moment has passed. For example, historical figures or innovators are remembered for their contributions, even if they weren’t universally liked.

On the other hand, being liked fosters positive relationships and a sense of belonging. It often leads to immediate opportunities, support, and cooperation. Being liked is essential in personal and professional contexts where trust and collaboration are crucial.

I like Trump's personality. He wants to win in everything he does, simple and straightforward communication, very results and numbers oriented. He always compliments and pays respect to specific people that are relevant to the topic in every single speech. And he is not afraid to put on a show.

Kamala is just fake laughing and antagonizing people who are not part of her echo chamber, while circle-jerking people who already support her. The mean girl strategy.

Best bet for a candidate for presidency is to win people over who are not into politics, who are on the fence, or who are on the "other side" by offering common sense, not feeble idealism.

If you mean being remembered for having a positive impact on humanity then yes, that’s way more powerful. But the title is vague to where someone might think of a person like King Louis the 16th or Joseph Stalin. They’re definitely remembered but not for anything good.

Being remembered can indeed have a strong impact, especially in fields like fashion and media. Unique or distinctive qualities often capture people's attention, which can lead to lasting impressions. While being liked is important, standing out can be a significant advantage in making a mark. It's not necessarily one over the other, but rather how both traits can work in different contexts to influence attention and perception. 🌟

Yes. Being remembered for something, good or bad, means that person did something out of the ordinary, accomplished something. Liking someone may not have anything to do with their accomplishments.

Of course you can be attractive for mostly people but still you will forget. Unless if you leave a trace then they will remember you and this is more beatifull than liked
