Studies have proven this to be true. Attractive people get treated better and have many advantages.
-
Inevitably, yes.
-
It depends on the situation. If a gorgeous girl walks into a bar, people are nicer to her and she probably won't have to pay for a drink all night. At work, it's all about how you work (unless work for a slob of a boss, but I don't think that happens often)
-
Yes, it does. Especially as teenagers. We see someone's outward apperance, before we get to know them and their personality. So on how someone dresses, fixes their hair, keeps themselves clean, is a big part on first impression. And can tell something big about their personality..
-
Unfortunately, I believe it does somewhat. If you've ever seen shows like Dr. Phil or shows where people try on the fat suits, you'll see that people are totally mean to them while they look fat or very poor looking. There are flaws to the research, but it even happens to me during times I feel I'm not looking my best, people treat me not as good as compared to when I'm actually looking more put together. I'm still the same person, but maybe people don't see that.
-
just ask yourself, who would you prefer to sit with on the train, someone who looks really old and ugly or someone cute? You don't have to answer. I know. I'm the old and ugly type.
-
Yes. There was a study about...ten years ago showing that if you give people similar resumes, but one is morbidly obese and the other is height-weight proportional, the HWP person gets the job every time. Along the same venal lines, it was determined that women who apply make-up every day are more likely to get promotions than women who go au natural.

i think it does even though there is more to a person than looks
-
Funny because in my life experience it has been very hard to make friends. Pulling my hair, i was hy and people thought i was stuck up. My best friends have always been guys (cuz girls hated me, dont know why) and now their wives dont want them to talk to me. I have found true friends through the years but it has left me with alot of insecurities. so i sometimes think being cute isnt always good.

On an intellectual level, no, but on a more shallow level, yes.
-
Absolutely. Generally people make a snap decision about you based on the way you look before you ever have the chance to open your mouth and prove them right or wrong!

I'd have to say, in general, I'm afraid so. I try my best to treat everyone the same but I probably wouldn't realize if I were treating one person better than the other due to looks. Sure, I'm human like the next and probably won't treat a nice-looking woman badly or show less respect to a well dressed man. I range in appearance from jeans and leather jacket when I'm comfortable to a nice suit in my job and the treatment I get in a suit while out in public is astonishing. It's a sad fact that we do this but it must be one shallow part of human nature we haven't overcome when it used to count that "only the fittest survive." I don't think the fittest are just nice-looking people. I think it includes the smart minds of our world that make everything work and the kind or funny people that make our world just a little better to live in.
-
It does, yes, unfortunately. It certainly shouldn't though as we are all equals.
-
Way too much.
-
I would say so. Look at how store clerks gravitate to the shoppers dressed nicely vs someone in dirty jeans or sweats.
-
Although it shouldn't, and I try not to act with prejudice, judging someone by their looks, it's inevitable. How you look is how you are treated. After all, there's no second chance for the first impression...
-
Unfortunately, yes.
-
It is true. I took a one day class in diversity. The instructor proved to us how image and first impressions affect how people are treated.
-
i hope not, it shouldn't but it may.......

I think this holds more true for women unfortunatly. An unattractive man can often alter his personality traits. I think for men it matters more of what you can control economically and how much confidence and moxy you have. Look at donald trump. If he was not rich, he would not have a beautiful woman on his arm everywhere he goes. But you never see martha stewart with a six-pack having hunk following her around. Looks matter, but much more so for a woman. It's a double edged sword really... because while you might be getting in good with donald trump while your beautiful and young, what will you do when your older and your looks have passed? But young men that are un attractive with nothing else to offer will not get time time or attention of people the way a beautiful young girl can.
