Why Attractive People Tend To Always Succeed In Life

Good looks is a much sought after commodity. Women go out of their way to sire children with good-looking men. Some black women deliberately look for white men to sire their children. These women know that good looks can give children an upper hand in the search for jobs. They also know that ‘white’ people enjoy certain advantages in a world deeply divided along racial lines.

There is a caveat, however. Just like good papers can open doors but cannot keep them open, good looks should be accompanied by a measure of competence and/or character. Good looks worn over an awful character can actually look ugly. Similarly, average looks dressed with grace and character can actually look beautiful.

I see good looks as a gift from God to be used for his glory, not for self exaltation. And to those not so easy on the eye, don’t worry. As long you are happy.

According to many studies, good looks and success go hand in hand. Attractive people tend to get ahead faster and earn more money – which in turn makes them more appearance-conscious, according to dw.com.

Berlin’s celebrity hairdresser Udo Walz says beauty provides an extra boost in the job world. When you look good, she says, “people want to communicate with you.”

Although it cannot be determined whether many celebrities owe their success to their looks, numerous studies have found a connection between good looks and job success. In other words: the more beautiful the person, the easier their climb up the career ladder.

Meanwhile, Economist Daniel Hamermesh from the University of Texas even found that attractive employees earn more money than their “aesthetically less appealing colleagues”.

In his study, Hamermesh asked participants to rate the attractiveness of people on a series of photographs. He then compared the ranking with the salary figures of the test subjects. The result was clear: the persons considered unattractive earned on average up to 10% less than their averagely attractive counterparts.

Hamermesh euphemistically describes this appearance-based financial disadvantage as a “plainness penalty.” The most attractive subjects were found to earn up to 5%  more than the average – what he called  “beauty premium.”
