I saw this topic on another forum and thought I'd see what your options are.

Apparently some statistics say yes.

Apparently some people think it's the other way around.

What's your thoughts?

I saw this too. I think it totally depends on the type of person you are. For sociable people who love attention then being attractive will be an advantage. For shy people who hate being noticed being attractive would be a bit of a curse.

Well parts of my life have been great and parts have been difficult, i think it's a load of crap.

What i do think is that people who percieve themselves as not so attractive will often blame that and think if only i was this that or the other thinks would be better

I do think whilst the doors might open easier for those who are attractive it can also mean they have to work harder to prove they are more than just a pretty face.

Okay if i'm being serious it's a very good question and one that has been pondered and researched for eons.

Attractiveness is not simply about facial perfection. It comes in movement, dress , demeanour and it is as important as FUCK in getting on in life....

To be 'attractive' in it's wider sense , is to appeal to others AND that is the key to success.

Now all the dirty, sweaty hairy ugly fat fucks to the back of the queue pls.

I would say it depends on the individual, if an attractive person comes to value themselves only in terms of physical beauty, then getting older is a very tough road.

As someone who is a "typically unattractive" person in normal society (over weight, well above average height for a woman, not massively gifted in the face department etc.) I don't think I find it harder than my more beautiful friends, but I will say that they do get alot more offers to help with bags or lift heavy things or buy them a drink etc. than I do. But that doesn't really make my life any harder than theirs in fact I probably have it easier as I don't face the harassment that being beautiful also seems to bring.

I wonder where they got the statistics from. It just seems odd. Even more odd that it's never crossed my mind to think well I didn't get that [insert thing here] because I'm ugly or I got [insert thing here] because I'm super gorgeous.

It would never come into my head to think in those terms. I remember my Mum telling me people wouldn't employ someone who's fat. Well that's utter shite cause I've been offered every job I've interviewed for.

I think a person's attractiveness will be helpful in some situations and will hurt in others. Whether someone is attractive is subjective, but it is easily determined on an individual basis by the people we interact with.

I've seen scientific research that suggests, at least for some things (like job interviews in corporate settings and some sales positions) being classically attractive is helpful. But I think the research is flawed because they usually only test the effect of attractiveness in terms of people's jobs - that I've seen, anyway.

I think it's more to do with the confidence factor.

I grew up knowing I wasn't exactly a Brad Pitt lookalike, and it does play on your mind when you are young.

But now, I think I've got to the stage in life where I'm starting to feel comfortable in my own skin. That automatically boosts your confidence and brings positivity in other parts of your life, such as the work environment or meeting new people.

I found that attractiveness plays a big part on this site. Women get more attention because their pics are more creative and they present themselves better when messaging. Attraction isn't only what's on the outside. True beauty is within. Being nice gets you a lot further than being acting like a dog on heat.

I just saw this on the 'other' forum!

Attractiveness is so hugely subjective ... it's probably nearer the truth to say that life is harder for people who don't *believe* they're attractive because a lack of self esteem and/or confidence can hold you back in all sorts of ways (friendships, relationships, career choices etc ... e.g. you 'settle' because you don't think you're worth anything better and you're scared to aim high). And that people who may not be 'conventionally' attractive but who are genuinely happy in themselves not only give off good vibes which in turn draw other positive people to them and make it more likely that they'll experience contentment, but also don't have fear holding them back.

Or something like that ...

People do treat 'attractive' people more favourably than plain or unnatractive ones. Without makeup I'm very plain. I have huge rings under my eyes, bad skin and look ill. I can walk anywhere and pretty much be invisible, which I love as I'm quite shy. If I choose to put makeup on and step out of my holey jeans and t-shirts into something less scruffy, the difference in how people treat me is massive. Both men and women are more likely to talk to me so it's not about sexual attractiveness.

People respond more positively to an attractive person, they smile more when talking to them and are more willing to help. Hundreds of years ago when I was a student a petite, blonde, very beautiful friend of mine broke down in her convertible just by the clock tower in Brighton. She jumped out of the car and without her saying a word about fifteen men appeared to help her. I'm sure that had she been 50, fat and warty a couple of men would have helped but nowhere near as many.

When i think of people i like their physical attractiveness has nothing to do with it.

There was a thread on here once about physical attractiveness the ones that where describing themselves as very attractive seemed to face more problems than the ones that where not.

Like it or not everybody in life has some kind of limitation whether it's physical, mental, aesthetic, monetary, the list goes on and on. Crying about how life isn't fair because you aren't pretty enough, thin enough, wealthy enough just shows that what you actually are is not confident enough in your own abilities to get where you want to be. The most successful people in the world are rarely the "beautiful people", unless you count success in Instagram followers these days.

It's totally shit and can cause problems for people at both ends of the 'attractiveness' spectrum. I have 2 sisters, one who is beautiful and one who has cerebral palsy is not conventionally attractive. The beautiful one's self-esteem is determined by how she looks, and is very uncomfortable if she feels she's not the most attractive woman in the room. She's found dealing with baby-weight really difficult and has become quite self-loathing. The other sister has had boyfriends in the past who have demanded their relationship be kept secret as he's ashamed of her looks.

If this is true, and unattractive people are at a disadvantage, then its only because they make it so themselves.

People hold tnhemselvs back because they put themselves into a bracket of destined to fail because they aren't smart enough, pretty enough, or don't come from a good neighborhood, but this is utter pish, I'm not smart, I'm what you would call "prison pretty" and I came from a right shite hole of an area, but I'm doing OK, and why? Because ii won't play by the rules, of what people say I'm allowed to achieve, I chose my own path.

I remember the career's teacher st school telling me I had two choice's, learn a trade, or infantry, even then I couldn't accept that that's all I could be, so when I told him that I didn't want either of those option's, he muttered "prison it is then".

People "are" shallow. Preference for attractive people is built in to society or we would be complimenting people on their personal qualities rather than their looks first, dating sites wouldn't need photos just character witnesses, men's heads would turn when a woman walked past carrying a list of personal achievements. I don't think anybody is saying that being attractive is all that matters to anybody but it helps with first impressions which means it's slightly easier for attractive people to make their way in the world.

It's an interesting question that's hard to answer but all I can say as someone who's been on both sides of the physical attractiveness divide was that I never suffered when I looked unattractive (or what society generally considers unattractive) since I may be quiet but I am confident in my own abilities and own self. The only discernible difference weight loss (and the ensuing apparently more attractive 'look' I now have) has made to my daily life is that drivers now stop to beckon me across the side roads more often on my daily walk to work. Noticeably so. But I am also wearing brighter colours since I have a wider range of outfit choices so it could be that factor.

So to be attracted to someone you find attractive is shallow ? and 'deep' people resist being attracted to people they are attracted to in case other people think they lack integrity, honesty, respect and genuineness ?

Is that close to what you mean ?

"I do think whilst the doors might open easier for those who are attractive it can also mean they have to work harder to prove they are more than just a pretty face."

Very true!

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Dawn French Oh yes, Katie Price not while there are dogs in the street"

So you're treating the person you find more attractive better than the one you don't.

"I just saw this on the 'other' forum!

Attractiveness is so hugely subjective ... it's probably nearer the truth to say that life is harder for people who don't *believe* they're attractive because a lack of self esteem and/or confidence can hold you back in all sorts of ways (friendships, relationships, career choices etc ... e.g. you 'settle' because you don't think you're worth anything better and you're scared to aim high). And that people who may not be 'conventionally' attractive but who are genuinely happy in themselves not only give off good vibes which in turn draw other positive people to them and make it more likely that they'll experience contentment, but also don't have fear holding them back.

Or something like that ...

"yes it is people like you more if you are attractive.

What utter rubbish,do you really think people like you more if you are attractive,or do you think maybe people put honesty,integrity,genuine and respectful before the being attractive bit

Yes.

Then that says more about the person who does the liking than the supposed attractive person

Really. What EXACTLY does it say about them ?

Shallow

So to be attracted to someone you find attractive is shallow ? and 'deep' people resist being attracted to people they are attracted to in case other people think they lack integrity, honesty, respect and genuineness ?

Is that close to what you mean ?

"It's an interesting question that's hard to answer but all I can say as someone who's been on both sides of the physical attractiveness divide was that I never suffered when I looked unattractive (or what society generally considers unattractive) since I may be quiet but I am confident in my own abilities and own self. The only discernible difference weight loss (and the ensuing apparently more attractive 'look' I now have) has made to my daily life is that drivers now stop to beckon me across the side roads more often on my daily walk to work. Noticeably so. But I am also wearing brighter colours since I have a wider range of outfit choices so it could be that factor."

Once it's at the top of hot pics far more people will view it so it's even more likely to get fabbed.

"People respond more positively to an attractive person, they smile more when talking to them and are more willing to help. Hundreds of years ago when I was a student a petite, blonde, very beautiful friend of mine broke down in her convertible just by the clock tower in Brighton. She jumped out of the car and without her saying a word about fifteen men appeared to help her. I'm sure that had she been 50, fat and warty a couple of men would have helped but nowhere near as many.

Good point. A lot of people respond positively too 'more attractive' men/women

...which is shit by the way

It's totally shit and can cause problems for people at both ends of the 'attractiveness' spectrum. I have 2 sisters, one who is beautiful and one who has cerebral palsy is not conventionally attractive. The beautiful one's self-esteem is determined by how she looks, and is very uncomfortable if she feels she's not the most attractive woman in the room. She's found dealing with baby-weight really difficult and has become quite self-loathing. The other sister has had boyfriends in the past who have demanded their relationship be kept secret as he's ashamed of her looks.

about the boyfriend! "

It's happened more than once. When I asked her why she put up with it she said 'it's better than no boyfriend at all'.

I imagine being really physically attractive (in the traditional sense) can bring as many problems as it does benefits. I'm sure it can and does help open some doors from time to time.

But anytime you stand out from the crowd as a human being you'll face problems, even when that's standing out for being attractive. The way people interact with you changes depending on how attracted that person is to you. We all do it. We've all experienced that. I imagine that would become a bit of a drag if you got that all the time. A bit like being famous. Everytime you walk in a room the atmosphere changes and people start acting slightly out of character towards you. That could drive you a little crazy I imagine.

I guess there's a million and one ways you could look at this though. It's a cliche but when it comes down to it, it's what's inside that makes someone truly attractive to us. That's what really matters.

So to all you who are saying attractiveness isn't important or that personality is more important. How do you choose playmates? Do you look at the pictures? Of course you do and if someone doesn't look attractive to you, you pass on by!

Look at the top fabbed pictures. Most of them are slim and what most would call attractive. Are you saying that they are not nice in personality? Sorry, but that just proves what was being proposed in the OP! In the main, the Rubenesque (and above) figure doesn't get fabbed as much!

There is so much crap typed on here that it needs its own sewage farm!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... Bullshit.

Beauty is a categorical variable that society has created. Holly Willoughby on this morning is attractive, the woman that played heather trott in EastEnders is not.

Holly could walk into anywhere and get men and women falling for her, heather would be lucky to have somebody say hi.

In general attractiveness can equate to how hard life treats you.

And then you come on sites like this where heather would find it difficult to find a meet compared to holly

"So to all you who are saying attractiveness isn't important or that personality is more important. How do you choose playmates? Do you look at the pictures? Of course you do and if someone doesn't look attractive to you, you pass on by!

Look at the top fabbed pictures. Most of them are slim and what most would call attractive. Are you saying that they are not nice in personality? Sorry, but that just proves what was being proposed in the OP! In the main, the Rubenesque (and above) figure doesn't get fabbed as much!

There is so much crap typed on here that it needs its own sewage farm! the question was about is their life harder. Ive never been on first page of fabs in my life. It makes absolutly no difference to my life"

Where as for some it's a kind of "fix" they NEED to be on page 1.

"I saw this too. I think it totally depends on the type of person you are. For sociable people who love attention then being attractive will be an advantage. For shy people who hate being noticed being attractive would be a bit of a curse."

Excellent point!!

Like the majority of people I fit somewhere in the middle! If I shove my jeans and shirt on - hair up and no make-up - and walk round track then no one looks at me twice! If I make an effort with clothes, make-up, hair etc then I get loads of looks/attention!

I like it that way - being inconspicuous when I want and getting noticed when I want!

Exactly. Recent example being the forums, a particularly attractive lady joined and posted and practically every thread she posted on turned into a love fest with guys trying to get her attention. I've not seen that happen before or since to that extent. It was quite a wonder to behold

Attraction is subjective and not only dependent on body shape and face but personality to.

I would say this it helps to be a likable person in this world this makes you attractive in a way and will help you to succeed in life in general.

Looks are mainly used as promotion by media businesses or judged by them creating a false shallow representation of what real beauty really is.

Someone can be attractive with the personality of a wet fish whereas an average looking person with a fun personality can come over as just as attractive & more appealing.

I don't consider myself particularly attractive or ugly - I look like me. It's the only face I'll ever get, anyway.

I believe that it is your attitude and confidence that determines how you do in life - often those that feel themselves attractive will have that confidence early on, but it can be shaken as they start to fade. Those who feel themselves unattractive, on the other hand, may have less confidence in the beginning, but grow as they start to realise that people judge on more than looks.

"As someone who is a "typically unattractive" person in normal society (over weight, well above average height for a woman, not massively gifted in the face department etc.) I don't think I find it harder than my more beautiful friends, but I will say that they do get alot more offers to help with bags or lift heavy things or buy them a drink etc. than I do. But that doesn't really make my life any harder than theirs in fact I probably have it easier as I don't face the harassment that being beautiful also seems to bring."

I suspect people don't offer to help you carry stuff as they reckon you'd think they were taking the piss.

Also I don't see how your height would make you unattractive. Unapproachable maybe as, especially if they are on Fab, they will be long conditioned to the idea that women find anyone shorter than them unattractive. Obviously I can see that's not the case with you as your partner is notably shorter.
