Can physical features change depending on your socio-economic status?

Question

there's this harmony in facial features i see in most people who were born and raised in privileged families as opposed to people from not so privileged raising.
This might not sound accurat all of the time but on average it does, at least with people i know. It doesn't have to do with taking care of yourself but rather more harmonious features.

i don't mean to upset anybody, this is an observation that was made by a friend and then i started paying attention and they do have slight differences.

Answer 1

There is a certain felicity in what you say. (Suits me to use the word in an incorrect way). I have remarked on this phenomenon too. As I can't believe that money has physically engineered a better physique and looks, I must think the money is an afrodisiac(easier to spell it that way). You could look at it many other ways. Now I am going to contradict myself and say that the college girls I eye up appreciatively in my local pub are far and away better looking than their proletariat rivals. But then some proletariat youth have tremendous style and panache.
Some sort of natural selection could be involved.

Answer 2

My friend and I were just talking about this very phenomenon! My other friend also pointed out to me that the one deciphering way of noticing a person's economic status is through their hair. Wealthier people tend to (but not always) have healthier looking hair. But I've always wondered about physical features. It does seem the better looking you are, the better physical features you have. And not in the way that Jenny from the Block became JLo after millions...

Answer 3

Yes in a way

Good/poor nutrition has an effect on bone structures

Answer 4

This makes no sense. I guess I have never looked at another human being thru dollar signs..
