Do you treat attractive people better than you treat unattractive people?

Question

Don't lie.

Answer 1

Everybody does. Anybody who says they never do is only unaware of how they do treat attractive people better.

Answer 2

you sound smart and like you have a personality. I know a few people who are popular and loved by everyone even though theyre overweight and not that attractive but its their personality that makes them good mates with all the guys and girls. I'm not making this up either. It probably is quite rare as the attractive ones tend to be the ones who get all the attention and are just naturally confident, but I reckon if you've got an awesome personality then people will look past your physcial appearance. I can't see a photo of you, so I have no idea if you actually are as unattractive as you make yourself sound, but there are always ways you can make yourself more attractive. Starting by getting fit and in shape is a good start because anyone can do that no matter how ugly they are. Maybe just start with some mascara and a little bit of foundation so you don't get the whole drag queen look. Dye your hair if it needs some colour and style it. Keep your teeth clean and eat lots of fruit and veg for healthy skin and a healthy body. Eh I know this probably isn't going to make you feel any better, but if you honestly think your that ugly then start working for a hot body, and just remember that people do look past physical appearance unless theyre shallow and stuck-up, but why would you want to hang out with people like that anyway? Good luck.

Answer 3

I wouldn't say I treat them "better", but I find it easier to establish an immediate rapport with an attractive person simply because I like beautiful things. Of course plenty of good looking people turn out to be ugly inside, so I can just as easily find myself disgusted by an attractive person in a matter of seconds.

Answer 4

Yes. I try not to, but it's instinctive most of the time and I don;t realize I've done it until after the fact. I think our brains are hardwired to prefer beautiful people and things. And there is even a name for it. It's called lookism. I've read that attractive people receive preferential treatment in pretty much any situation where people can see each other.

Answer 5

yep, though I'd not define attractiveness as physical attractiveness. Some people are physically ugly, but have a most attractive personality. Other people may be able to get a job as a model, but look like they never had a kind thought in their life. I am usually careful with anybody who looks like that.
I am sure I treat people better who look like the reciprocate kindness/have a good personality, even though I don't really mean to.

Answer 6

I try not to, but in some ways, I suppose I do. I would definitely date an attractive man before I would date an unattractive one, so I guess that would be considered an example.

Answer 7

Actually, I usually don't, because I am sometimes intimidated by attractive people, so I am more likely to be friendly to the less attractive folks. At least I know they don't think they're all that, hehe.

However if it is in a situation like at a bar or somewhere that I might be on the prowl, I guess I would tend to show more interest in the more attractive boys and girls.

Alright, I admit it, dammit. I guess I am guilty of this crime, lol.

Answer 8

I think this happens a lot, especially with younger people - media and society in general are so focused on "looks" and that is what they have grown up with. I generally try to treat people as I want to be treated - I do not always succeed, but I try.

Answer 9

I think everyone does no matter what they do, if you think you don't then you are subconsciously. It's just like being prejudice, you may think you aren't but subconsciously you are, and even act upon it.

Lately I have changed my attitude toward women and men, and ugly and good looking people, but of course I treat them differently. America has brainwashed us all, I just control it better than most.

Answer 10

No. Looks aren't everything. Most attractive people know they look good; but they are condescending and shallow. Those who are not one of the beautiful people usually have a great personality.
