Are Extroverts Better Looking? | Psychology Today


Granted most people are extroverted to begin with, but is an attractive person more likely to be extroverted than an average or unattractive person?

Nope.

If you look at it from a pure natural beauty stand point, you probably won't see much a difference between introverts and extroverts being more attractive. I think the attractiveness of one of over the other comes more from the fact that extroverts embrace attention and social interactions so they are more likely to take more effort to look attractive/fit in whereas a introvert would not. What I think anyway.

I think this is generally true. If not for the fact that there are more extroverts overall but also the fact that a good looking person will have more social opportunities and therefore, be more socially confident.

That still doesn't mean that extroverts will be good at social interactions. They might still be awkward at bad at it, even if they are good-looking.

No. Look at all the great comedians. A lot of people become extroverted because they're not great looking; they feel they have to work harder and adapt or compensate.

No. Two of the hottest people I knew in real life were pretty introverted.

I have met several good looking introverts. I like introverts.

Don't think the two are related at all. We've all met attractive and shy people, as well as unattractive social butterflies.

Since the majority don't agree with the premise of the article, here's a part B:


Why are shy, attractive people considered to be stuck up where as shy, unattractive people are simply considered shy?

Because the people who say that have a need to find something wrong with them.
