The Beauty Bias
I thought it’s necessary to talk about “Beauty bias” because we live in a world where there is strong regard for the physical beauty. Physical attractiveness can have a tremendous effect on how people perceive and treat people with better physical appearance in different terms.
what is beauty bias?
The simple definition of beauty bias is that the physical
attractiveness of individuals drives you to treat them differently and more
appreciably, so you begin to think that they are trustworthy simply because
they give the impression that they are beautiful. You automatically begin to
give good-looking men and women the favourable characteristics, so you begin to
believe they are smarter, better people, more polite, trustworthy and reliable
than less attractive persons. Most of the time we become prey of appearance
stereotypes without even realizing it.
do attractive people make more money?
You may not believe that, but attractive people are more
likely to be hired than less attractive people just imagine applying for a job
or a particular position, and someone more attractive than you have applied for
the same job, the more attractive someone has the better chance of getting that
job. This is horrible, isn't it? And
somehow, it's hard to believe. It doesn't stop here, also higher
salaries are more likely to be paid to attractive people.

what are the advantages of being beautiful?
Being physically attractive will enhance your life. People seem to think beautiful people are usually nice, smarter people. Besides, attractive people have higher chances of being accepted and appreciated by their friends than less attractive people. They make friends faster than others too. And I remember when pretty girls used to be the bosses at school.
Another significant argument is that if we usually tend to
agree that attractive individuals are trustworthy and decent people, we are
more likely to be more transparent with them without even being wary and we
wouldn't be afraid to address our own problems with them out of our conviction
of their dignity and consideration. Furthermore, attractive people are more
likely to be supported by their friends and acquaintances.
The charming prince and the gorgeous princess!
When we were kids, we used to watch fairy tales and that all
the good people were attractive and the BADDIES were ugly (according to beauty
standards), I don’t really understand the link between the physical appearance and inner intentions of people. It's kind of annoying, I mean, if you don't meet
the beauty standards people think you 're fit to act as a villain or a wicked
witch just because of your physical appearance. These children, when they grow
up, will pay a great deal of money to look closely like the attractive figures
they used to see on telly.

The disadvantages of being physically attractive
Attractive people want to be loved for whom they are not
because of their physical appearance, they want to be hired because they
deserve this job, they want people to stop thinking that they are the person
they are today because they are attractive, they work day and night to achieve
their goals. So, please stop thinking that they're successful just because
they're attractive.
