Do beautiful people have it easier?

[chyee]

Do you think attractive people have it easier than people who aren’t so good-looking? Women who possess big eyes, full lips, and a developed bust line tend to have men fall over themselves to open doors and take them out to dinner. Men who have striking features and a six-pack tend to have women who’d work themselves silly to be subservient and

Yeah, it does seem that people who are physically attractive have greater sway over the opposite sex. But, I'd be interested to hear more on how they fare with the *same* sex. I'd bet there are some jealous people who'd feel threatened by someone of their sex being better looking than they are...

I dunno. I think it's true to a point. I would say that like everything in life, it fits on a curve of some sort. People who are too attractive are probably not taken very seriously, or are forcing themselves to do some harmful things to their bodies. But generally I suppose it's true that attractive people have an easier life. I think they probably live longer too. I mean, if by attractive you mean physically fit. But I tend to take someone less seriously the more bullshit I can see presented outwardly. I realize I'm not indicative of the population though.

Ditto.

About the Passion thing: I think it's just a coincidence. Statistically, it's not weird that the lady died during a movie. The intense content probably triggered hypertension, blah blah... Had it happened in any other movie, it wouldn't have been reported in the news. Btw I really want to see this movie!

Yay for graduation! Do you know what you are doing after that?

I think beautiful people have it easier in the workplace in some ways (besides the aforementioned possibility of not being taken seriously--I'm sure more of a challenge for attractive women than men) and in general by strangers--customer service in stores, for example. People tend to attribute positive qualities to attractive people. However, i don't think they have it easier when it comes to dating. It might even be harder to date for a super-attractive person, because people may be intimidated to ask them out, and it might be hard for others to appreciate their inner beauty instead of just the external. From my own observations, I don't think average-looking people have a hard time getting a date. So, I guess my conclusion is sex appeal doesn't matter for sex? heh...
