Do you think people are born to be good looking or do people become good looking through hard work and care?

Sure some people are born good looking. Thumbs up to them for winning the genetic lottery. But some people... I'm gonna call it attractive instead of good looking... are attractive because they have a great sense of style, attitude, knowledge, confidence, leadership, or a great personality. Let's call it a presence that fills a room without trying.

No, LOL, don't roll your eyes at "well, she's got a great personality". The intangible stuff matters. On the flip side, a super handsome buff guy can become really unattractive almost instantly if he opens his mouth and reveals he is a complete moron with the maturity of a 12 year old. That guy is probably not gonna add great value to anyone's life.

Addendum.

Aside from being gifted with good looks and personality, there is also food discipline, and exercise. And those are things that almost everyone can do if they want to. Being fit and healthy does a lot for your attractiveness.

[thegreenyogi]

I agree.

I think everyone is born with a different potential for good looks


But most people don’t even maximize their own potential and claim they are genetically disadvantaged


The truth is: no matter how genetically disadvantaged you may be, doing all the basic self care activities will lead to looking at least average and if you’re genetically blessed then you start to look amazing

The truth is, genetics matters. Some people are naturally more attractive than others. No matter how much anyone puts effort into their appearance, they can't look like Henry Cavill.

It's also how we mate a lot of the time.

Yes, there are people change over time and get a pretty drastic glow-up, whether they started to workout, put more effort into their appearance, or just learned how to dress well.

But if you aren't attractive in the first place, nothing can really change that.

That's just life. It's not fair.

Hard work and care. I say that because what I think is good looking you might not. If an alien landed in the back yard he could be the best looking of his race but I probably wouldn't think he looked good. Good is whatever you or I have been made to believe is it. Right now the hardworking that makes a person look good is basically taking care of yourself. For the most part anyone can look better then how they did yesterday. It can be as simple as putting on makeup. I think It has to do with the attitude to want to be better and physical willpower to do what it takes. Shit can even been made to look good think about someone all excited saying "this ice cream is the shit"! It they put good energy into the bad word shit and we know that's good ice cream

Both, some people are born good looking, and they are all their lives.

Other people can be good looking by care and attention to their health.

And some people can become good looking by having a good personality, or be good at something that everyone admires.

[Miristheiss]

Most are born average.

Some are naturally very attractive naturally. Everyone can improve their looks if they have more average looks. People can take care of themselves and be fit. Men can get stronger and have fit, muscular. People can wear flattering hairstyles and clothes.

It's a combination of both. Most people find a symmetrical face more attractive. But people can become more attractive by becoming fit, having healthy habits, and learning to groom and dress themselves.

[Dreamclouds]

There are some genes that define objective beauty for sure that can never be changed... but beauty as many said before me its relative, we cna really find a person more beautiful then all in the world just because her traits mix in such a way that makes her/him perfect in our eyes.

[Spencer10]

Welll genetics clearly plays a role... but to remain attractive or improve your appeal you do have to work at it. How you act, dress workout are also important.

I may have missed the train for good looking but I care too work hard and I was born to look alright ☺️

[Xawyx-2]

Most attractive people were born that way, some of them may have been average, but they improved their looks by working out, or some other way.

[mysteriousNicholas]

I'd say so 😃 hair gel is my friend and shampoo 🧴 😀

[LiamJHayden]

Some are naturally conventionally that way, other get that way through work and some via surgery.

[Shiprex]

Genetic and it's cultural too.

[Twalli]

There's a genetic component.

[msc545]

They are born that way.

[jazzy34]

It can be both.

[exitseven]

It is both.

[DrPepper12]

Yes.

[Anonymous]
