Is being physically attractive really a big advantage in life?

Question

A fact? A lie? In my own experience looks matter greatly.

Yeah, from what I've read people are conditioned to believe all sorts of positive things about attractive people. My personal experience supports that. And I know for a fact that men will do this stuff with a beautiful woman. I get a lot of attention from women. To the point husbands and boyfriends get pissed and other guys don't really want me around, LOL. People give me the benefit of the doubt with intelligence based on the way I look and dress. I get the "sir" treatment from women and men of all ages. I get comped drinks by bartenders. Women buy me drinks. Women comment on my "confidence" all the time. They don't even know me, haven't even spoken to me and assume I'm extremely confident. I've gotten the "you rich guys" comment or stuff like "I've seen your watch collection" when they know absolutely nothing about me. Pssst... I don't own a single expensive watch, LOL.

I think really attractive people do get treated better in certain situations. They also get some unwanted attention as well. A long time ago I was chatting with a woman on Facebook who lived in the Philippines. She lived in kind of an impoverished area, and her life wasn't what she wanted apparently. I told her how stunningly beautiful she is. I remember her telling me that her beauty doesn't mean anything in the Philippines, and it doesn't fix any of her problems. I guess location can be a factor when it comes to looks being a great advantage.

Looks are not the only thing, but it is far ahead of whatever is second.

A very common concept, widely known and accepted as fact by most people

The good news is: being attractive is not so much about your genetic composition and more about your presentation

Meaning there’s no way around it:
You need to be fit, in shape, dress nice, have good grooming that compliment your looks
Smell good at all times
Have conversation skills (be funny, insightful, creative…)

You do all these things and no matter what your genetic potential is you will have maximized it to the point where you’ll he at least somewhat attractive

And yes it does make your life so much easier

Definitely. People don't get voted homecoming queen for being ugly, and in the case of women, being very beautiful leads to multi-million dollar modeling or acting jobs. Nobody pays millions of dollars to ugly people just because they are ugly, but they will pay you millions of dollars to be an actor/actress or model if you are very attractive.

I believe so yes. Not gonna lie, I'd often give hot girls discounts or free entry at work. And there's a hot guy on YouTube who random girls let him lick the bottom of their foot, when if I trired to do that, I'd have the police called on me.

So yes, pretty privlidge is a real thing

slatyb · Answer

It's definitely an advantage, but I can't say if it's a big advantage. For employment, it depends on whether it's a public-facing position or internal where expertise matters. For something like musical performance or computer programming, there will be an audition and the performance on the audition is about everything.

It certainly has served me well 😁 yet maybe I'm not as gorgeous as I think 😔🤔 lol.

Lol. Thankfully the gays keep away from me and the women, are too busy looking over at 💪 💪 over there.

So I'm sitting pretty 😁 and continue all this time. Praise the Lord Jesus, seems good ✅

Given the choice, would you rather be unattractive and smart, or beautiful and average?
Obviously you'd rather be both smart and attractive. Who wouldn't?
I doubt that anyone would choose to be both unattractive and dumb, but would anyone choose to be unattractive and smart and think it will be a good way to test if someone really loves them? I don't think so.

It depends on what you choose to do with it.

Yes, especially women. They never have to change a flat tire. They never get tickets. All they need is nice face nice boobs , and nice ass and they will never have to worry or work very hard, get raises , and day off anytime they like.

exitseven · Answer

Yes , especially for women. I worked for a big defense contractor and all the well paid administrative assistants (secretaries) were hot.
