The only people who have it "easier in life" are those who appreciate the blessings they receive in life, take nothing for granted and find happiness in what they have been given and what they can share with others.
But don't less attractive people suffer all of those ills? I agree that dwelling on other people's advantages is a mistake for the one dwelling, and can be annoying to everyone else. But in saying "no", aren't you denying something because you're concerned that people will dwell on it and harm themselves or be annoying?
I think accepting that looking good is often some sort of advantage, and that deviating considerably from what's considered attractive can often be a bit of an obstacle to overcome, is more realistic. Bring it out in the open and deal with it.
Yes - being good looking makes certain things easier. It doesn't solve all your problems and it is no guarantee of happiness - but it certainly has its advantages.
Good looking women experience a lot of unwanted attention from men. I think they have to be very careful. There are a lot of negatives to being good looking and I think that it grows tiresome and the pluses are outweighed by the negatives.
I agree with certain points and disagree with others. It's true that when you've never met someone, you tend to characterize him or her based on physical appearance, as that's all you have to go by. But I firmly disagree with the argument that attractive people are sometimes deemed more intelligent than the ostensibly nerdy kids. That would mean that even attractive cheerleaders and jocks on the football team are thought of as Einsteins, which seems far-fetched.
What do you think?
Studies show that when it comes to FIRST IMPRESSIONS (i.e. before you find out someone's a cheerleader, or whatever), people assume intelligence on the part of good-looking people. They tend to assume lower intelligence on the part of plain-looking people and people who lack facial maturity (i.e. baby-faced people). It means that those whose appearance doesn't make the grade need to work harder to prove themselves and be taken seriously. Thus life is more challenging for them in that way.
It seems to me that good-looking people have it easier in life. My opinion is biased because I'm extremely unfortunate looking, and I've had a hard life. I don't attribute that to my looks per se, but they certainly don't help matters. Being good looking seems to make getting a date easier. It seems to make getting a job easier. You don't see any handsome or hot homeless. It seems to make it easier to make friends because people naturally want to associate with attractive people. It seems like good-looking people can behave any way they please and be accepted. That might not be entirely true, but that's what I've observed in my world.
On the other hand, good-looking people probably receive more unwanted attention than their uglier counterparts. Attractive women have to constantly keep their guard up against creepy guys. Additionally, attractive guys and women have a lot of options for relationship partners, which could make choosing a partner and fidelity more difficult than for an average to less than average looking dude or woman. For example, there are hot women that I'd give my right arm to be with getting cheated on all the time by good-looking guys because those guys always have other options. If I ever could attract a woman that I like and develop a relationship with her, I'd have to hold on to her for dear life because that opportunity might not come back around again for me.
Therefore, I suppose attractiveness makes life harder in a way because good-looking people have a lot more options than us homely folks when it comes to relationships and possibly career moves as well. With more options comes stress. There are probably issues for good-looking people that I'll never have to deal with. Even so, being good looking is held in high esteem in society. That's just how it is, and I have no problem with it.
Unfortunately , YES!
They are the people that, in an instant, attract others.
But realistically, no.
People know people, I just think people in general strive to be the best they can, and when they see an attractive person, they want to know what makes them attractive either by aura or beauty secrets.

Good looking women do well if they're dealing with men. Dealing with other women can be tricky.
Good looking men, same.
Good looking people also have to deal with being approached by total strangers, who think they might have a shot, for no other reason than their own ego. That can get annoying as **** if it happens often. It's like your a lamppost and every dog that comes along thinks it can have a sniff.
If you're good looking and egotistical about it, prepare to be hated like no one else on earth.
If you're good looking and modest about it, prepare to be hit on by all sorts of folk including your own sex.

On a superficial level, yes
