There have actually been scientifice/psychologic research studies that have basically proven the theory that YES, people who are perceived by others to be good-looking do have more success in life. It is believed that "good-looking" people are offered more opportunties in life more easily than less good-looking people are offered them. No, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, etc. are NOT generally perceived as good-looking people, but have acheived GREAT success anyway. This is because there are ALWAYS exceptions to the rule. HOWEVER, we can all choose to take care of ourselves, handle hygiene, make the most of our best features, use our brains and achieve success that is meaningful to us if we really want to.

You can get very far on looks alone in our society but everyone gets old and gets wrinkles so if you got by on your looks than you better hope your really very rich by the time you get old and don't look so hot anymore so you won't have to try to make it through on your brains the rest of the way

If you are actually ridiculously, out of this world good looking, probably not. I guess this kind of exorbitant beauty will be envied by a lot of people, making her/his life difficult. At least I imagine.

You get farther in life with your character rather than looks.

Sure a lot of people do. Beautiful women marry wealthy men. Quite often they have no personality and are horrible people. I think this happens quite often. They definatley get the upper hand in certain situations men and women.

Well yeah. My grandmother used to tell me that she pitied ugly women more than almost anyone else. I would imagine that being beautiful makes life a lot easier.

In some fields, absolutely, and in everyday "basic" life it may help you get your foot in the door, but if you have no skills, talent, and are a sh1t personality, it won't matter if you look like Christie Brinkley or a rats butt.

Yes. For example, this really hot girl in my college came up to me today and asked me if I had any spare change. I gave her 50 cents. Five minutes later I realized her beauty has fooled me into giving her my money. I want it back! That damn hoe!
