Do you think that being attractive gets you further in life than people who aren't?

Answer 1

To a certain extent it can, but it also has a backlash. Extremes of either spectrum can actually have similar affects: we all know of ugly people who can't find anyone to be happy with, and we've all heard the stories of super-models spending countless hours alone because people were too afraid to approach them, assuming someone else had already beaten them to it.

Being attractive also has drawbacks because, depending upon the profession, your looks can be considered a liability. Even in places where a high degree of technical know-how is required, being attractive can make one's prospective employer believe that one is not suited for the job simply because of one's looks.

Employees also can have a hard time working around a co-worker who is 'attractive' and the more attractive they are, the less likely the co-workers will be able to get along. This is because they will think that, because the other person is attractive (an aspect which they have little control over) they have an unfair advantage, and thus every decision they make is scrutinized for favoritism. Even attractive men can become the targets of harrasment and undue scrutiny because of it, so it is not applicable only to women either.

Being attractive can also make one more prone to unwanted attention, especially females, and any bonuses they receive (in terms of more suitors) is offset by the fact alot more jerks, idiots and a******* approach them as well.

Again, being attractive not only has its advantages but its disadvantages as well.

Answer 2

No I don't.

I modeled for several years starting when I was 15 *im 20 now.* Just about anyone you ask would say that I'm attractive. I hate the attention I get. Girls hate me because I get attention. I was raped when I was younger, the whole time I was tied down, tape over the mouth and all of that he was saying "I wouldn't have had to do this if you weren't so *F word* hot" over and over.

As far as jobs I have had bosses admit to me, after I have already been hired and working that they only hired me because of my looks and they thought I would either bring in more customers, get male customers to come back or make good tips. I would rather get a job becuase they saw I have an associates degree or a high GPA because I do have both but they would never know that, because they never look information any farther than my looks.

Answer 3

I was going to say "yes", but that's really not the case. Being attractive gives someone an initial edge. That edge usually only lasts 5 minutes or so. After that, it is how much you. Really, consistent work is all it takes to get as far in life as you want to get.

The world is full of good looking losers.

Answer 4

Sadly to say 'yes" you usually do go further in life when you are an attractive person.
It's that old classic view that 'beauty can launch a thousand ships', and put a smile on any mans face'.
Things are slowly changing though, and more and more 'less'
attractive people are doing wonderful things, and achieving
great things in their lives, allowing them 'equal' opportunities.

Answer 5

If you're attractive you are definitely privileged, research has shown that good looking people are generally much more likely to get hired after an interview, it is unconscious and inevitable bias. looking at pleasant faces stimulates the production of pleasure producing serotonin in the brain and we can't do anything about it. however overall success in life is a combination of millions of factors, this is only one of them, but yes being attractive can help.

Answer 6

this should be a screamingly obvious answer.

Absolutely.

Survival of the fittest = mating with the best and most attractive.

Physical attractiveness also DIRECTLY relates to health. Pretty people are usually healthier than unattractive people. This goes for NATURAL beauty, not make up or surgery.

Answer 7

Physical attractiveness is just one means by which a person can get his or her way from other people, but with maturity, a person realizes there is no set goal to life, and they are not competing against everyone else for it.

People who know what matters to them get further in life.

Answer 8

At the office, definitely yes.
Attractiveness can be a handicap with men. Men might think you are beyond their reach.
Being real with real people will get you further in life no matter what your appearance. Give up the images and symbols and find the real person.

Answer 10

That's just bull s hit, nothing of the sort, the topper of my batch is average looking at best, I get all the unwanted attention, which can be very irritating, because the ladies get against you if they see that you're getting more attention, and meanwhile, the average ones steal all the marks.
