The stats are pulled from some BS New York Times polls. I wouldn't trust it very much. You'll be fine just be smart, hardworking and professional you'll go far in life.

+Godless Libertarian ehhh but if all things equal and your standing next to a more attractive person ..they've got the lock

victoria hale Ceteris paribus is unrealistic. I'm telling you this as an economist. Ceteris paribus is used in almost everything we economist do in our world. If the attractive person has no personality, no confidence, a bad job/no job, no intelligence, etc and the other person has all that but looks they will get more action/friends than the pretty little face.... This comes from experience, I'm probably like a 6 out of 10 on the attractive scale, but I have everything else going for me. The women have no problem with it. The other friends of mine don't get anywhere near my level of friends/action. They are way more attractive than me. In my job I'm already making almost 6 figs and I'm 24 almost 25 and I've got over 100K net worth. "Mind over matter."-Plato the quote holds true even truer today. Now I'm not saying don't work and not eat unhealthy, but workout and eat healthy... However you turnout you turnout, but just work hard, be confident and be smart... You'll do great! I mean look at our US Presidential Candidates no one would say they are good looking at all. Look at Lil' Marco he's good looking married to an NFL Cheerleader how did that workout for him?

+GrijzePilion Thats because we all change at all times, due to hormon changes, deseases, ETC. For example, you would look better when you are in a good mood, not only you have a better perception of yourself because you are happy but being happy with yourself makes your body healthier, when you are on a rough patch you will look in the mirror an uglier person even if you are a top model, thats because meybe you feel deporessed or bad because your body is fighting a desease or you already have one. If you feel good you look better and vice versa. Having a high self steem will always make you look better. All this in junction with your ability or inability to be objective about the common beaty denominator in your region or country.

GrijzePilion so you are beautypolar lol

thinking of yourself as beautiful gives an advantage to. My theory is that beautiful people are more confident, and subsequently more motivated to try harder, which is why these wage differences exist.

Thats evolution for you.

that's not nice bro whats wrong with you.

The merry music X"D

MaydayMayday WeRanOutOfFuel spoke my heart, thanks

@@elvis4868 I think they're saying it's horrible because it reveals how unjust people can be. I agree this situation is indeed horrifying. But the merry music though 😂

Reality is horrifying sometimes.

Taller people die more often, beautiful people are more shunned by those of their own sex, and beautiful people get worse medical care.

ultraofrahfan1 I hate being tall, being short is cute as heck

@@jellypen6726 well maybe for girls, but if you're a guy under 5 ft 6, you're a midget

@@ProfessorSyndicateFranklai please pull up studies

I shoot weddings for a living, and I can say with confidence that the couples who have money are indisputably more "attractive" than those who do not. Purebreds have more time, money, and much less stress than average or below average people. They can afford to put more resources into their appearance.

+MyOnlyFarph life isnt fair

I second that motion.

Thomas Huang disgusting idea!

😂😂😂🙄

PLEASE

Perfect Minimalist so true they should have included that in the video

Yea, it's what they call, "pretty privilege." I literally see it everywhere.

and do u have data for that? they canceled chris brown even tho rihanna was the one who scartcehd hit and threw out his car keys first so he retaliated

@@ycfghost1307From what I heard and saw, he basically downplayed his actions and but the blame on her in court. You can’t justify beating someone, that wasn’t over defense. They both punched each other, but he BEAT her up badly. Just because someone started something doesn’t excuse the action taken to. Like if someone threw a paper airplane at you, you can’t just punch them and say they started it, as an excuse. It was a toxic relationship.

@@allex6079 another thing people canceling quavo even tho saweetie was the one who punched him and took his bag. no one is going to cacnel women because we have to baby them. any group that was unfairly treated before gets treated lieka baby and wins way more stuff. When I was in highschool women who did a simple dunk would be cheered so much in dunk contest but men who do dunks that take a lot of skill dont get any reaction at all

@@ycfghost1307Ted Bundy, Ramirez, despite being one of the most horrible people still have a fan following. So yeah, pretty privilege is a real thing.

same here. My running theory on it is that beautiful people are more confident and subsequently try harder, and they are happier which makes them more compassionate and trustworthy. Though I'm sure we could stand to have a less superficial culture as well.

@@s-tierkeyboardwarrior-lvl4686 Yet you're still showing the distinction between attractive and unattractive people. If majority of beautiful people are more confident then their counterpart, then where does that come from?

It is sad and unfortunate that it is as terrifying as it is 😑

Golden ratio is the surest way!

+Melanie Parker No,it is not.Everybody knows who is beautiful and who is ugly.

Beauty isn't subjective. If you find someone ugly then the rest think the same. Exceptions aren't the rule.

It is true that there are individual perceptions of beauty, but most people know the biological beauty standards by instinct. Ex. posture, clear skin, thick and shiny hair, proportionate body and face, etc. Most people have the potential to be beautiful, but by telling people it doesn't matter, not everyone reach their beauty potential. When we say 'he/she is ugly', we are really saying he/she have bad posture (low confidence/self-esteem, and low social status), unclear skin (possible diseases), not fit or well-groomed (possible mental issues, or a possible burden to the pack), etc. It is our instincts that say that it could hurt us by associating with this person, either your health or your social status. It if bad for less attractive people of course (I have been there many times), but everyone does it subconsciously; even less attractive people. It is not because we want to be cruel, it is just subconscious human instinct.

Also, if you're going to a bar, club, or event with a cover charge and you're a pretty female, a lot of times the bouncers will let you go through without paying

"Ugly" people shouldn't have to work harder, especially since attractiveness and beauty are all societal things our culture has slowly built up in each of our minds over time. Beauty standards in 100 years won't be what they are today, and people considered ugly right now could be models if they were born a couple 100 years earlier, but regardless of what the standards are they get an advantage.

RaitoYagami88 How am I the worthless idiot when you can't have a sensible conversation with me and have to resort to insults because you can't come up with a solid response to my statement.

+RaitoYagami88 "people that complain about what should be..." Really? So no one should ever criticize anything and progress should stop and we should all just stay the same (stepping out of line makes us idiots). Look up the word "incoherent" because the dude's argument is sound. You're wasting your own time, don't blame others for that. And insulting others that have done nothing but disagree with your views will really make others take your perspective seriously, seeing how maturely you handle diversity of thought.

Not entirely true. You can, and do, respond to many things subconsciously and so need not a conscious awareness of anything in the video. Social constructs inform you subconsciously that "attractiveness" is to be desired and so we treat those with the desired trait more favorably. And just because this is the trend doesn't mean that all attractive people at treated better or that all ugly people are treated worse. There are exceptions to every rule but the exceptions don't belittle the rule.

True, while people instinctively (or though social constructs) treat attractiveness as desirable, this is not what this video is saying. In order to respond to the "economic incentives" of being attractive you have to be consciously aware of them and act on them rationally.

Same goes for ugly ppl

Burn.

Think Positive ++ you privileged handsome $*%>&, I'm coming for you with a beauty tax.

"How do you even measure beauty?" That's exactly the question that gets explored in the article associated with the video: www.vox.com/2014/7/16/5905533/the-benefits-of-beauty. Turns out you can actually measure beauty up to a point. People often disagree about what is beautiful, but some features are universally beautiful. For example, horizontal symmetry in the face is considered beautiful. And if your facial features are in proportion and in the average spot, that's beautiful too.

J. van der Linden Thanks for the link it had some interesting points. But it still hasn't really changed my opinion on how to measure attractiveness in terms of babies and underage children and how those experiments would be applied in terms of their external/internal validity and reliability.

***** I agree that's true to a degree but again I know people with uniquely shaped faces that aren't entirely symmetrical and still look very attractive so even that can't always apply.

Everyone nows who is beautiful and who is not.. ones in a while you might find someone one who is uncoventionally beautiful actrative

+Bobster930 you cannot define it but you know it when you see it, just like porn:) In all seriousness though, I think though beauty is definitely in the eye of beholder, you can always have a quantitative measure of beauty by asking respondent to judge the subject on a scale from 1 to 10, or some other more sophisticated statistical measure to arrive at a numerica number of beauty. I believe there is a hookup app(I think it is called hot or not?) that do exactly like that, so it is always possible to quantify something that at first sight seems unquantifiable.

Nope

Umm, did you look at the description?

+Maxus Riley probably dead since fat was in the description

RiNickulous Interesting theory.

they disn't say that wasn't the case they just said the data

Oh, I wonder how they got all that confidence and likeability. Surely it had nothing to do with their looks, and that What ever they do is given positive reinforcement because they are attractive.

don't let statistics define your potential

+Trevor Murphy They are absolutely biases until you can prove that "attractive" people have better genetics. A bias is a prejudice and prejudice is unfounded or misinformed opinion. In order to say that this is not based on bias, you require relevant data to back your point. Until then, you can't say it's not biased or preferential treatment based in prejudice. They're not inherent biases, but they are absolutely biases nonetheless.

Justo lo que pensé viendo el video. Supuestamente Fox tambien ganó por ser atractivo.

Real life doesn't work like science. People can - and will - screw you over, even if you are as beautiful as Gisele Bundchen or Naomi Campbell.

U can be beautiful but if you r dumb and easy to manipulate life won't be easy

Kemo_Meme thats horrid.

Jedwig lamb yeah, it might be just a correlation thing tho

+Mike Litoris Yeah their numbers might not be acurate but it is a reality that more atractive people is hired more than ugly people in a job where you interact with others. For example if you are hirying a salesman you will hire the good looking one since people will feel more comfortable with him and maybe just buy the product to flirt with him. Also you would hire an ugly guy if you were talking about a bouncer for a night club, since you want people to fear him. So its pretty much common sense and you don't even need the numbers if you really know how people think. We all would select the most beautiful person to be our partner if personality and finances are not a factor, we may vary on taste, but but we all would pick the prettier one. But in the real world finances, personality, intelligence and other stuff come to play when we hire, date or marry someone. You are saying that the ugly prostitute makes the same money as the beautiful one. even if the job has a fixed salary the good looking person would most likely get a promotion sooner than the ugly person.

All of us are and I doubt it is something you should feel disappointed about, this idea is in the subconscious, more like an instinct. They are seen as better genetic material, therefore subconsciously treated better.

+novazee Look it by the bright side, if you get married, you may have a slightly stronger relationship. Women that know that their partner is considered "ugly" by others, think that the risk of getting cheated on is lower than the opposite. Guess that's a good thing!

How do you know?
