Someone made a comment today about how she only gets along with attractive individuals and only likes to speak to those who she feels are eye-catching. It made me start thinking....do we treat others better or worse just based on how they look?
By the way, this female is in her 20's so it wasn't made by a teenager who is still in high school.

Its a given that people considered more attractive will get more attention and better service. Its no ones fault this happens, its a natural reaction. All over the world people are treated better when you are more attractive. Everyone views themselves in a certain way and if you were told that you are beautiful growing up, then chances are you see yourself as a beautiful person and get along better with that other people that feel that way too. If you view yourself as plain, or unattractive then chances are you like to be around people who feel the same way.
I admit that its wrong to do that to people, but as humans we love to put people in handy little categories and unfortunetly judge them based on that. I personally like to talk to everyone, despite age, race, or looks. My motto is give everyone a chance to show their personality before deciding the fate of a friendship.
Survival of the fittest or survival of the beautiful people? you decide.

OK, not to be mean to folks in their 20's but the majority acts just as obnoxious as 14 year olds that are now able to drink!
The fact she made that comment tells alot about her.... she's probably pretty, shallow, and stuck up! hopefully she grows up one day.... anyways.... Personally I used to be like that, pretty shallow, and it got me no where, so I decided to grow up a little! I am proud to say that it is based on the energy and smiles I get from a person how I treat them not on their physical appearance.... I won't date a monkey (my guy is hot) but Im not rude or mean to genetically challenged people! it isn't right....and besides some might find a certain some one gorgeous and some one else would think the exact opposite!...
But if what she said got you thinking then you probably are acknowledging a short coming of your own.... do you feel you treat people unfairly...... maybe the Lord is trying to tell you something you need to work on.......!

I believe I treat everyone the same. There are times that I am not so friendly....but that's only because I'm having a crapy day.
I get to feel what it's like on both sides....I go to a cafe almost every morning and usually go in looking like crap. Sometimes I will go in in the afternoon when I am all made up and everyone is a whole lot more friendlier and helpful. On my usual morning when I look like crap....I don't even get a "good morning" .

I try to treat everyone the same. I only change the way I treat them if they are rude or are lying to me. The way I treat someone is not based on their appearance.

When I was younger I used to treat good looking people better but now that I am older, I honestly don't care what people look like, it is what is inside that matters.

I treat everyone the same, no matter who you are and what you are, your appearance has nothing to do with how I will treat you is how you treat me that count.

I treat everyone the way I'd like to be treated myself. I don't discriminate. The way I see it, we are all equal. We all have to deal with what we've been given.

...physical appearance says a lot but not everything. I try not to judge a person based on appearance. But that doesn't mean i'll see a mean looking serial killer and ask him/her for directions.

Having once thought myself unattractive, I tend pay more attention to people who seem less attractive. Everyone has value and worth.
