Do YOU treat attractive people better?

Question

Well, it's pretty much a consensus that attractive people are treated better in society. Now this is my follow up question, do YOU treat attractive people better? Whether it be intentionally or subconsciously. Do you ever notice that you treated someone better because you found them beautiful? Whether it be eagerly helping a customer who looked good, even going out of your way to provide them assistance, while just helping the average joe or ugly duckling simply because it's your job? Now, there seem to be a lot of "holier than thou" folk here who believe they're completely impartial and treat everyone exactly the same, tsk tsk tsk, but let's be real. It's happened at least once, whether we wanted to or not. I do admit there are some attractive customers who I was more willing to be of extra assistance even though I feel that I'm helpful, or at least try, to everyone. The pretty ones are eye candy: my heart is nice, my brain is in the right place, but my pussy is dumb yo. Sorry not sorry. It's human nature, doesn't make it right, but it happens.  And contrary to belief of here, men do it, women do it. Ugly men's traits are seen as negative and ugly women's are too. So tell me your stories people lol It can't be a select few people who do this only. Considering how many studies there are to show that it happens everywhere. We blame society but we are society...

I always ask myself this and a perfect example was today. I was in a supermarket today and was walking to a cashier. It was an old lady and the one next to her seemed empty, but as I walked past the shelf, I saw there was a cute girl there. Without thinking, as a knee-jerk reaction I almost started walking to her but quickly reminding myself not to be that way, I let myself be checked out by the women who looked like one of my grandmother's Mahjong friends.

We do it without thinking sometimes. I've noticed I have a hard time being as patient with women who aren't as pretty and stuff. But I can also say that once I get to know a girl, her personality can completely change that for better or worse.

I do, as I already said in your other Q ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not ashamed to admit it either, it's the way the world works.

Definitely, can't defy nature, the halo effect can be really strong. Anyone who says no is lying or not being honest with themselves lol, or they are acting out in jealousy towards attractive people by being mean to them for no good reason at all but their appearance.

While people want to think they treat everyone exactly the same, reality isn't often the case. One might treat most people equally but there will always be that case where if an attractive person approached you and hit on you you'd most likely feel flattered, while if a very ugly person (in your opinion) did it you certainly wouldn't feel very flattered.

There was a classmate in my school who transferred last year, and she's ugly and fat (not trying to sound rude) looking... From what I heard she never got a single friend in her entire life but in our school they befriend her and make fun of what she does and says. Honestly speaking, the stuff she does and says are ridiculous since she is considered ugly, but if an attractive girl does it, i bet it wouldn't be viewed that way. When I look at her, I get annoyed every time she does something I wish I could tell her to stop because they will make fun of you but I don't because I'm a despicable human being.

I'm going to answer honestly and my answer is "no". When I see an attractive person i kind of stereotype them to be shallow, snobby, unfriendly or full of themselves. I do that unconsciously, because all the popular mean girls at school were pretty, all the heartbreakers at college were handsome. When I first met my best friend ( she is gorgeous) and I was shocked to learn that a pretty person can be nice and not all of them are horrible people lol. Do I treat them better? Ummm no. Do I pay more attention to them? Yeah... Do I stalk them more often on Instagram? Also a yes.

EmoKate97 · Answer

No i don't but but i will say that i treat people with bad hygiene worst. I feel like they kinda don't deserve the same treatment if they aren't going to look the part.

randomhobo · Answer

I know i'd like to say i don't but its a psychological part of us that is hard to stop or avoid. I do my best to treat everyone the same but from time to time i may slip up.

martyfellow · Answer

I know beauty isn't on the outside. I don't give the 'flashy' show off types any breaks. Actually, the contrary.

jemjem2017 · Answer

why should you treat someone better because they just look good no. you should treat every one the same. doesn't matter what you looked like. treat every one else the same. be good to them

thetea · Answer

I personally try not to and it usually works. However, I feel like a lot of people do, I used to look a lot like the girl on the left in the first picture and got actually pretty attractive over the years and people treat me SO MUCH BETTER, I get more help, more attention, people do more favors for me, etc. It's really sad.

BaileyisDarcy · Answer

I have a condition that makes recognising face very difficult for me.

This also means that I struggle to decipher what is 'attractive' and what is not so people pretty much all look the same to me unless I've gotten to know them over a long period of time.

So for me? I honestly dont treat people different by looks. Just attitude and how they behave.

Keifer · Answer

I don't, I find around less attractive girls I actually act much more genuine and nice because I'm not afraid to open up. it takes a while for me to warm up to pretty girls therefore lots more shy and awks.

Hopefuldreamer8 · Answer

I think most people find me to be rude. It's unintentional. I have anxiety so I just keep away from everyone. However, attractive people intimidate me more. I always assume they will dislike me because I'm unattractive. So in reality I am probably actually ruder to attractive people.

EnglishArtsteacher · Answer

I voted for "C", because I pretty much rarely ever do treat attractive people better. I'm sure there are times I unintentionally have, but these are far, and few between.

Actually, I tend to find it the polar opposite-I usually never get along with girls I find attractive, and I usually get along with girls I don't find attractive at all.

I don't know how true this is for men. Men aren't judged near as much for their looks as women are. So it's not surprising to see the female answers saying they don't treat attractive men better, because they probably don't. However, notice the men admit they do treat women they find attractive better?

For the women, I would like to see a question which states "Do you treat wealthy men better than men in poverty"?

hailey_mailman · Answer

I treat people based on attitude :/ Even if you're handsome, a rude person is a rude person and therefore will be treated like a rude person. Even if a person is ugly, if they're nice to me, I see no reason to be mean to them

summiter · Answer

While I try to treat everyone the same I think it is human nature to treat them differently. However no matter what you look like a smile will always get you further than a frown!

BubbleBoy69 · Answer

Most people do and anyone who says otherwise is full of shit.

thisGUYknows · Answer

Hell no I don't

AleDeEurope · Answer

Not intentionally. I can easily empathize with others so treating someone bad because they're ugly isn't something I can do. Also, I will only treat attractive girls better if I want something with her, but that's just normal. If I want nothing, then I will treat them the same.

Hans222 · Answer

I voted C, I try to avoid it. But as you explained, we're human :o
So indeed it can sometimes happen.
Apart from pretty people, it's also true for people you know and like - even if they're not pretty.

TripleAce · Answer

Things or people that warrant a higher social value or monetary value are usually handled with more care... given more attention you could say

For instance a tripLe A steak
Expensive items
A good looking person

oddly, what's most important to others seems to become important to use k

BoySittingOnTheMoon · Answer

No, it's a opposite. I'm often thoughtful and cared about unattractive people and I wanted them to have the equal opportunity as attractive people. The unattractive people that I've met are mostly nice and genuine.

Jnerdy97 · Answer

Appearances never really bother me. All I really cared about was personality. If you approach me with a negative attitude and say mean things then that's I'll treat you worse than others. Other than that I really don't care what you look like.

meatballs21 · Answer

You can be attractive but also extremely annoying.

Atlas67890- · Answer

I'm a genuine asshole to attractive women... ask anyone. To the point where I question myself "wow... I actually said that? ah well!" Someone's gotta take them down a notch.
