Do really attractive people have it easier in life?

Think Casper Van Dien and Natasha Hendstridge, neither of them had the talent to have a career once their pretty phase had passed.

At first yes but, if they rely on it too much it screws some of them later on when their looks start to go esp if they are the type that never really developed skills or a decent personality.

women get nasty as fuck when they go through that. I heard that menopause in america is only there because of their psychology, they don't have menopause (hot flashes or whatever) in other countries because they don't have the same issues.

IDK but it seems that way. My sister in law is not the brightest bulb but she is a legit 9-10 and she climbed a corporate ladder pretty fast. My mom says she doesn't think it had to do with her looks but her social skills, she has really bubbly personality and makes people feel good. But then there are others I know who have great looks, average brains and did very well for themselves in life. While I know a few legit geniuses who failed. They are all either average looking or flat out ugly to look at.

I just feel like when you are highly attractive people go out of their way to be nice to you and do good things for you. Whereas if you're average or ugly then you have to earn everything. Its similar to how celebrities get free expensive stuff but poor people have to beg for bread. I guess it's just how life works

My great looks have definitely helped me in life.

That being said, if that's the only way you view the world, your making a mistake. If all your sister in law did was use her good looks, she would have made a great porn star drug addict. But, she had the right values (or wisdom), to use her charisma to find a better path.

Good looks, charisma, intelligence, athleticism, values, etc. these are all tools to help you build a better life.
 
It can work against you too. I find some guys especially just take an instant disliking to me and expect me to be a dick head, I tend to see the funny side to it these days though
 
For women, good looks are very important, beyond just helping them get ahead, bring unattractive can actively hold them back even in advanced technical fields.

For men it’s less definite. I don’t think my success has been aided by good looks so much as the fact that my giant head and wide shoulders make me seem authoritative when sitting across from people

There is a great deal of power that comes from being good looking. People will like you, fear you, respect you etc and basically for nothing.

It can also destroy your life. There are many, many beautiful women in rehab or mental health institutions who got abused/taken advantage of for their looks, and didn’t know how to handle it.

It can also be isolating, other women might hate you for it, etc. Gifts from god are something we have to be careful with, considering the power of god
 
Yes, of course. I’ve definitely seen attractive women get promoted up the corporate ladder without doing anything remotely worthy but to be fair that also happens with attractive men. Once you get to a certain level in the ladder everyone starts to look the same. Some are good at their job some aren’t, but if you find someone ugly up that high they probably are good at what they do.
 
Looks open doors, character and good social skills dictate whether or not you stay..
 
It 100% helps… and….

Definitely, Hot women live life on easy mode. Anyone denying this has clearly never been around hot women and seen how the live and work.

Handsome men though still have to put in work but they do get some easier breaks because of there looks. Either way yeah being good looking is a huge asset in life obviously

In business this works if your client or colleagues are mainly male. Otherwise being pretty has the opposite effect.

Yes but it's still kinda fair.

People born attractive have certain advantages, true.

But what about people born smart? They have huge advantages and nobody every complains about them. Ever hear anyone say "pfffft, that guy thinks he's so great but he only got that promotion because he's smart."

In both cases, the person was just born with an advantage.

This is why we should be nice to dumb ugly people

Yes but smart really doesn't get you very far in life. I know many very intelligent people who were complete lazy fuckups and didn't amount to shit in life.

You can be smart but if that isn't paired with hard work, it's not worth much... pretty people however are just handed shit and people are nicer to them, especially women.
 
If you don't see some of the negatives to being handsome as a male, you're probably not that handsome. Women share alpha males, but some men will kill or castrate competition. You're going to get some haters

Also, if you're a guy and you turn down sex w/ and average or above woman, you will piss off women and men. Women for obvious reason. A lot of guys have had to put in tons of work to get sex with these women and, if they see a guy just taking it for granted, it pisses them off.

Not putting on a shtick or anything and I don't post pics , so I can say some douchey things like this

Being an attractive guy can open up opportunities for you if you are good looking enough to be a model or actor or something, but for just a regular job it's not going to help you much for getting hired or promoted like it does a woman. As long as you aren't ugly or sloppy looking, you can just be a normal looking guy and look and act professional and confident, being good looking isn't going to help much if any. A good looking woman though can easily trick men with power and authority into giving them preferential treatment or promotion.
 
most people tend to judge life from the perspective of what they lack
Beauty is not something you are born with... most people are just too lazy and have low self esteem to realize that
Ive been a photographer for 20 years, in a few words my work is to make people look pretty so low self esteem people like you can feel its something unattainable
Its just so so frustrating how ignorant and sadly people talk about beauty, ughh its like trying to make fish understand life exist out of just water
