Why do people think being "overly attractive" is a "good thing" when most people in this category don't have much depth/character or intelligence?

[Anonymous]

I was talking with a friend's cousin last night.

The conversation was sort of interesting in a way but I also found that he was NOT the brightest bulb. In fact there were times I'd say something, he'd go off on something else & it's like... do you comprehend what I'm saying?

At times he was very annoying in how he'd often bought up his money, his properties, etc. I'm an educated successful woman. I have a good career. I do not need a man for his money, I find golddiggers & such pathetic. I look at men for their personalities/nature not wallet-size.

He often commented on his looks, others found him attractive, handsome, etc. And I'm like suuure you may be good-looking but you're as boring as watching paint dry on a rainy day.

.

And that isn't a one off. One merely has to look at celebrities, particularly the "attractive" ones. They often have no depth, are shallow, insecure, etc. and usually not that smart. For some only reason why they got anywhere is as they had looks otherwise be homeless.

I guess this would come down to perspective and end goal. Your question has to stronger than why do people think being etc... Especially since you are using depth as something they should have instead of just being overly attractive. Also why are you talking about me behind my back? 😏 As I stated politely no means no! Seriously though why would being overly attractive be a bad thing outside of the constant harassment and of people trying to bring them down. Making unfounded claims that people in this category are less intelligent. Science has said that they may in fact be smarter see Kanazawa and Kovar (2004) . They on average have higher incomes. Higher status, do better in sales, are more persuasive. Thats just attractive people I would assume overly attractive people are orders of magnitude above mere attractive people. As you stated you're intelligent you know these things already. So, what's really going on here? Let's chat and find out what your real question is. I'm sure the collective minds at gag can help. A confident intelligent person simply apologizes and moves on. You are Beautiful!!

Soo would idiot be you calling me attractive or overly attractive 😍😍😍
You really should stop flirting with me though i'm taken

Actually science has not stated that such people are smarter, Kanazawa and Kovar (2004) were considered fake scientists believing ideology from the 1950s that ceased to exist decades ago.

Just as fake as the premise that overly attractive people are somehow less intelligent. Plenty of attractive people that are intelligent and interesting. Natalie Portman, I don't need to name drop you are intelligent enough to realize that your rant was based off an emotional reaction vs a logical conclusion. If you can't admit that I don't know what else to say. Also, I was just teasing you playfully there are obviously other topics more worthy of our neurons than this. I wish you the best of luck it was fun.

The idea that attractive people lack intelligence or character is incredibly shallow, and it sounds lke the kind of thing that people who are not incredbly attractve say to try to make themselves feel better.

Or you are a TROLL!

You obviously have mixed emotions over this guy. No one takes this much time writing a post with this much hate without wanting a piece of his action in some way. EVERYONE sees it but you... LMAO

[Asker]

Well you are right he has more value than an internet troll ever will. You, after all, have less comprehension abilities than he does.

Anyone who has to point out how great they are should avoided.

Just their opinions?

[Asker]

Oh everyone is entitled but I guess society amplifies that overly attractive is the "in thing" to be.
