OT ?

Whats your thought on the article ? Do you agree beautful people've better sex lives and better oppurtunities in life ( Job ) than ordinary looking folks ?

Its true ...imo , Good looking people are more happier and have better sex lives as they always getting attention and praise from opposite sex and everyone else PLUS regarding job a good looking candidate with quality is first preference .

Debate :)

It's hardly a surprise. If they really believe they're beautiful then that's one less thing they have to worry about.

They are comfortable with who they are, have a good amount of confidence because of it, and can go out and use that to make things happen.

Most beautiful people are probably still mildly depressed maniacs like the rest of us anyway.

Whats beautiful to one person might not be to another though.

Of course. We beautiful people have an extremely high self esteem and are outgoing.

Theres not a single advantage to being ugly. Being beautiful can only help

The word Beautiful is entirely subjective. All it matters is opinion, For example I might thinks someone is bad-looking but they might think they are beautiful so obviously they will feel more confident. This study proves nothing.DeX2010

this is old news. it's been apparent for some time that people who are attractive often fair better than those who are not.

the points of contention are few.

1. what responsability do the attractive people have to the rest of the community who are not as fortunate.

2. and should we do anything about it to ensure ugly people have the same oppurtunities as those who embody the ideal form of the human eye.

the responsability falls on the entire population when it comes to defining what is attractive, and what is successful. IF the ugly people hold the attractive people in high esteem, even if there were more ugly people than attractive people. Then the ugly people are just as likely to blame for this divergance of sucess based on apperance.

all you had to do was ask me and I could have told you that...

No surprise really, if you're happy with the way you look then that brings confidence which makes life easier. But still, many plain looking or even ugly people are successful, happy and have a partner so it's no big deal, just what you make of it.

That would explain why I'm so happy and more successful with each passing year :D

But to the topic at hand..... so many things in the article are silly.

"10 percent happier." That is so relative. It's not that easy to numerically quantify 'happy.'

It also mentions that the interviewers rated the peoples attractiveness. That is so abstract and up to interpretation. For example, I have no idea why people think Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie are considered 'hot.'

We all know Bill Gates is one of the beautiful people. I wonder if he's happy?

People say i'm handsome and cute, but i'm not happy. Why's that? Is it my nihilistic view towards the world? Probably.Stavrogin_

Or the daily realization that you are neither of those things?

Not a surprise. People tend to be nicer to and more open to good looking people.

Not rocket science. Beautiful people have money and as everyone knows, money=happiness.

You are stunningly handsome. Like Brad Pitt handsome.sonicare

You are stunningly handsome. Like Brad Pitt handsome. However, good looks only increase your chance of happiness but do not guarantee it.sonicare

Oh, and...[spoiler] /trollface [/spoiler]

Doesn't this go for compliments in general?

This article is crap since beauty is a subjective concept. Also many people who look beautiful on the outside are not good people on the inside which is not so beautiful after all.

while beauty is indeed subjective for the most part, it's ridiculous to negate its objective qualities. you can objectively quantify beauty very easily and generate a universal standard of beauty.

oh a self proclaimed self destructive pretty boy. hahahah

Totally false. I can think of a lot of good-looking, wealthy people who died from drug overdoses and had psychological problems. No need for a debate.topsemag55

completely false. i've been told i'm good looking (i was asked to model once) and all it did was give me a very temporary confidence boost. i'm fairly confident around girls and other people, but because i know i can make some of them laugh and entertain them, not because i think i'm good looking. and good looks, especially in males is very very very subjective. the trick really is just to be happy with yourself

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

:P

Life now makes sense. Explains why I have lingering feelings of hurling my Quasimodo-like face off a ten story building.

I can agree to that but the word beauty is so delicate. I know some have been sayings its to the eye of the beholder (and thats true to some extent) but it goes for beyond that. Its subjective, objective and in most cases proclaimed.

Yeah, because your anecdotal evidence obviously obliterates any scientific study on the matter. :roll:MetalGear_Ninty

It's not a very reliable study though. Apparently it was carried out in only 4 countries and the "attractiveness" of the person was rated only by the interviewer which is, by far, not representative enough.
