Well, we know that life is not fair and some are blessed with good genes and others have $$$ and the reality of the world is that discrimination exists and people with good looks or money are treated more favorably than those that don't have them. But this question is...who is treated better?

I think it depends on if its a man or a woman. A good looking woman, be her poor or rich is going to always be treated quite well by all men and hated on by a lot of other women.

A good looking man will probably not be treated as well as an ugly rich guy because people (women and men) would want to remain on the rich guy's good side no matter what.

Bottom line:

Good looking poor woman: Treated well by all.
Ugly rich woman: Depends on her personality. She must be likeable to be treated well. Otherwise, she's just another woman.

Good looking poor man: Treated okay I guess. Old women, young women, good looking women and ugly women would be nice to him if they find him attractive.

Ugly rich man: Everyone treats him nice.

Well at times money can solve you many problems such as poor hygiene on your teeth and getting them replaced if you need to, so you can attend college classes and earn your degree, a car off course, etc...
It would be good though is a person had the money, good personality and good looking as well... All the combinations all together.

So no I will not go for a poor man with good personality nor a rich good looking man with ''not so good'' personality. I want all the combinations....

How about having both things at the same time. It's cool when a person has all the combinations all together. Wealth, looks and character...

I would disagree. Of course we're assuming people KNOW he's rich, but some people, like me, really don't care how rich you are or treat you any differently for it. Many women are the same. Some people do the reverse and dislike people who are rich, and alot of women don't like men who can 'buy' women with their money.

Trust me, though, if you looked like Paul Walker it wouldn't matter how much money you didn't have. The ladies would be all over you!

yes, absolutely...

i would say that it is attractive women and wealthy men who hold the largest advantages. attractive men still have a sizable advantage over the median. being a wealthy woman means very little outside the context of customer service.

which reminds me... slightly off topic.. I worked as a valet in college, which led to some interesting observations about groups of people. one of the first things I noticed was that attractive, wealthy, middle-aged women seemed to have a tremendous sense of entitlement. they were the worst tipping demographic, worse than the 16-year-old prom dates. this entitlement mindset was more or less absent in wealthy men, or attractive people in any other income groups or age groups.
