Generally speaking In the non romantic sense I'm not so sure about that....
Usually on a platonic level I find that less attractive people have far greater personalities and sense of humour than more attractive ones.
They may be compensating for their lack of looks and try and make themselves more attractive perhaps but I'd rather spend time with them more as they are very much more grounded and down to earth
Yes. But in job interviews, or getting dates, the more attractive among us do better.
In general, I do agree that sense of humor, personality, personal convictions mean more to a good friendship or other long term relationship than simple attractiveness.
And I'm not talking about by people who are looking for romance; I'm talking about everyone from old ladies to married men to people who couldn't care less about looking for a relationship ....they still treat good-looking people better....its discrimination!!!! Why do people do this???
If you look like a bum you may actually get treated like a bum. If you are well groomed and with a pleasant personality you will receive better treatment.
I agree, it is wrong. But whoever said life is fair? There are people out there who will do something, or say something that we may disagree with but we can't change them.
Have seen it firsthand at work. . . younger, attractive women were adored by many of the male managers and given more liberties than their coworkers. But what are we supposed to do? Go up to one of the managers and say, "Hey! That's wrong! You're treating her nicer than you treat us and she has less work to do!" All that would accomplish would be a big black mark next to my name for being sarcastic and a troublemaker.
I treat people equally. I don't understand why one would treat an attractive person better than anyone else. Plus, attractiveness is largely subjective, so that means one person's trash is another one's treasure.
Attractive people have better genetics, many of which are health cues.
Better genetics in what sense? Are they healthier? Have longer lifespans? Have lower incidences of chronic and/ or terminal illnesses?
Plus, we have no universal definition as to what attractiveness is, so it would be hard to separate the attractive from the unattractive; those two terms mean different things to different people.
I have seen some attractive people taking advantage of this in most imagined ways. I would recommend both parties to check their motivators.
I can understand how being considered attractive or hot (at least to some people) can be very intoxicating and also corruptive. Sexual desire is a strong urge, and wanting to have sex with an attractive, hot person is something that most probably covet. So, if a person is considered hot and attractive by the majority of his/her peer group, then that person understands that he/she possesses a very sought after commodity, and that realization can fuel arrogance, cockiness, and a strong sense of entitlement. Human ego in that type of situation can get out of hand in a big way.
I get treated a lot better now than when I was 50 pounds heavier, had crooked teeth, and moderate acne.
on the flip side, I treat people according to how they treat me. I've treated attractive people like **** because they were jerks and I have befriended homely people because they were cool and weren't stuck up asshats

Attractive people are usually healthier. Look up the magic proportion of the hips and waist in women. Those with an hourglass shape and a waist to hip ration of 0.7 are way healthier than women with no feminine curves.
