Do attractive people have it easier?

Do you think pretty people have it easy??? like life is so easy for them??? kuz I was like watching this tv show about this girl making a documentary about her pretty sister,that life is more easier for her kuz of the way she looks!!!

Answer #1

yes they do and social psychology research has shown it…

Attractive children are more popular, both with classmates and teachers. Teachers give higher evaluations to the work of attractive children and have higher expectations of them (which has been shown to improve performance).

Attractive applicants have a better chance of getting jobs, and of receiving higher salaries. (one US study found that taller men earned around $600 per inch more than shorter executives.)

In court, attractive people are found guilty less often. When found guilty, they receive less severe sentences.

We also believe in the ‘what is beautiful is good’ stereotype – an irrational but deep-seated belief that physically attractive people possess other desirable characteristics such as intelligence, competence, social skills, confidence – even moral virtue. (The good fairy/princess is always beautiful; the wicked stepmother is always ugly)

Answer #2

Pretty people can have just as much self- esteem issues as an ugly person does. Yeah, maybe they have more confidence with people and guys, but does that mean that they are happy? A pretty person could be popular but that doesn’t mean they they have true friends. It’s also really hard for a pretty person to say something without being told theyre cocky, when they aren’t trying to be, And they are stereotyped for being stupid, so it’s hard for them to prove people wrong. And people get jealous easily, and not like in a “oh I wish I was that person.” Sometimes the jealous people will do something to try to ruin that pretty person’s so called “perfect life” or do something to put a damper on their reputation. Guys can be really intimidated by girls and the cocky ones that think they are good enough, or maybe too good, are jerks anyways. I feel like these types of things get less and less important as you get older because people learn to be confident in their own skin. And besides, who are we to judge who is pretty. I know this is cliche, but the ugliest person truly is the one with the worst attitude. I know many people who think just because they are pretty that they are better than everyone else. And that is not the case. In the end, those people won’t win and could win a guy over with their looks but personality is what really matters.

Answer #3

I think they do, people like to pick the pretty ones over ther not so pretty ones…thats how it always happens =(

Answer #4

I think that everyone is beauitful in there own way!

But I also think pretty looking people do have it easy. They get what they want most of the time. Its easy to get good looking guys…( most of the time).

!!! But I still think everyone is beautiful !!!

Answer #5

Not to true at all. Yes to some extent pretty people do have it easier but not more than less attractive people. A lot of attractive people struggle with the stereotypical people who say just because they look good, they should be stupid. Of Course the media in forces as seen in the tv show beauty and the Geek. Yea there are a lot of pros to being pretty just like their are for atheltes or for smart people. I think that some people like to think that pretty people live amazing have no family or friend drama but thats not the case they are just like everyone else trying to figure out life

Answer #6

Yes most of the time… as far as guys and attention goes. some of the “pretty” people spend hours in front of the mirror and have to be pretty alll the time.

I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who Im not, wether I be pretty or ugly. Looks arent everything, we should try and look our best, but they arent our whoel lives.

Answer #7

I think exceptionally pretty girls may have it easier in some ways but harder in other ways. Other girls can feel threatened and/or jealous. Some guys may feel intimated by a beautiful girl and others may just assume that the person already has enough friends and would not be sitting home alone on a Saturday night.
One other thought on the subject : When your beautiful growing up, aging may be more of an adjustment: It must be hard to know your outer beauty is fading . .

Answer #8

pretty women, hell ya. guys not so much. pretty women get out of tickets. if a guys driving a cab and see’s an ugly girl and a pretty one, who’s he going to pick up. pretty women can marry millionairs and not have to work ever. women can float off of looks I think. but for the most part, 50% of em are stuck up b*tches, so thats a strike against em.

Answer #9

sadly I think they no when there younger and tho college..but we they get into the real wrld..there totaly lost..so its just a mater of time 4 them..trust me..I’ve seen it happen!

Answer #10

yes becuase they dont suffer as much like ugly people do.

;D

Answer #11

life is hard for everyone..ugly and pretty! and beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway! its obvious a lot of ugly a** people answerd this question! ugly people get away with being judgemental and rude..but when you look good and are that way people say oh she’s stuck up..pretty people get away with so much wah wah wah lmao!

Answer #12

I think so, lets face it if an unatrractive person smiles at you your like ew, but if a pleasant person smiles at you you smile back. I think its very unfair and poeple should all have the same respect for everyone else, not just the way they look judging who they are. :]

Answer #13

It depends. I sometimes think that people who are pretty finder it easier socially as pretty usually equals popular. But also I think that pretty people have a certain pressure on them, and expectations to live up to.

Answer #14

that’s true, which really sucks,

Answer #15

no, they don’t. they think they do, but it’s just a whole sharade. the ones that lok the best think they can do what they want and get away with it (they tend to get in more trouble). I think they hve it harder b/c of the fame and fortune; if you live a normal life, you’ll be fine.

Answer #16

I think that pretty people get it easier. I remember one time at school when one of my teachers (an ugly old man who people say is a perv) said to the new girl that my friend is a really nice girl and he told the new girl to stick with my friend. I felt a bit upset because I made friends with the new girl before my friend and I was the one who asked her to sit with us and I also get good graddes and I never got a detention in my whole life.

Answer #17

no, not everyone who is considered pretty the funny thing is, to other people, its the pretty people who are ugly and pretty people tend to be vain, selfish and have no concern for anything that doesnt involve them of there lives, the usually are more obseesed with weight and self image, and other things. pretty people can be very depressed, because of the way they look they might get the so called “better” things like getting into a bar first, “all” the guys, attention and stuff… but none of that crap really matters at all. people just think they do but looks fade, and if someone thinks you can get by in life on looks alone, thats stupid. a personality is a far better thing to have in my opinion

Answer #18

yeahhh I’d say so! my friend (who, needless to say, is gorgeous) gets away with a lot of things… she’s a really good friend of mine, but sometimes I cringe at the thought of taking a picture with her…’because people are actually like: “wow she’s so pretty!! …but who’s this person next to her? she’s kind of ugly… they don’t match.” (no joke.. haha) that’s just the way life is though…but props to those who can look deeper into the person than just the outside. :)

Answer #19
