"I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is"-Derek Zoolander.
Derek Zoolander couldn't be more accurate in terms of how physical appearance matters so much in today's world. Physical attractiveness influences family dynamics, courtroom decisions, interviews, elections, friendships, and how teachers/professors view a student!
Here are some fun facts about how attractiveness can help people in the long run:
- Attractive children are perceived as smarter, friendlier, more trustworthy, more likable, and are associated with positive attributes.
- Nurses and mothers spend the most time with the good looking babies and devote less time to the premature babies
- The more beautiful child will more likely get away with bad behavior than the "uglier" sibling.
- Teachers expect their good looking students to have a higher grade in class. Teachers will focus and pay more attention to these students because they think have more potential (In other words, teacher's pet).
- Attractive people are much more likely to be promoted and have a bigger salary over average joes. Ex: A gorgeous waitress or bartender will receive larger tips because a man wants to impress her. (i.e. Hooter Girls do well in tips)
- Looking good is associated with being viewed as healthier and are generally healthier compared to less attractive counterparts.
- Why do you think Kennedy and Clinton won the election? Both are good looking guys and good looking people come off more persuasive!
- Good looking defendants are less likely to be convicted and suffer less severe punishment than unattractive defendants
What are you waiting for? Go work out, eat right, and stay beautiful-both on the inside and outside! ;)
