I have come across various rants from women online talking about pretty privilege, how it is a real thing, and how it affects the social dynamics. In dating, job opportunities, and just daily human interactions. People have said that if you are easy on the eyes as a woman, you will have the halo effect.
If it is service delivery, your pretty friend will get better service and a friendlier customer care interaction than your average one. I even came across research or was it an article online that says that parents are more attentive to the needs of a prettier offspring than an average one? If the cute kid is sick, the parents notice it faster and tend to them more quickly. That is quite fascinating, it is something I never thought of.
When I see a cute pet on the road, I am likely to stop and say hello to it and ask the owner its name, and touch it a bit. That’s a petty privilege right there.
There is a beauty premium that comes with good looks, especially for women. I don’t know if it works for men. Is pretty privilege a thing for men too? As I have said here before I can’t usually tell if a man looks good. And looks in men can be a double-edged sword.
Whereas people tend to associate good-looking people with good character and make charitable assumptions. There is a group of people who associate good looks with bad behavior. I remember also reading somewhere that attractive women have poor social skills because they have never needed social skills to get the things they want. They also tend to not work hard in school because they don’t have to. They have enough beauty to get by.
In other words, extremely good-looking people can live on their beauty. Well, an extremely good-looking woman like Marilyn Monroe or Scarlett johanson was destined for the screens. They are both good actresses but we can all agree their beauty surely helps propel their careers to the next level.
Do absolute stunners live on beauty? Yes, they do.
Do hot men also live on beauty? Not necessarily. A man who chooses to be a model still has a lot of work to do to be recognized. Beauty alone is not enough. People are beautiful out here so unless you are extremely good-looking with flawless skin, a sexy accent, good teeth, and everything in the right place, you are in for a shock if you try living on beauty. But let’s be honest, as a fly guy, you can easily;
make friends if you are friendly,
get dates if you ask for them,
find success in fields where beauty is important.
And so shall an average man find success in those fields if he pursues it strategically. An average man can still get dates, make money, and be a movie star if he lacks the looks. However, beauty can help a great deal. An example of a man finding success due to his looks is Jeremy Meeks whose mugshot went viral and immediately landed good modelling gigs straight out of jail. He also dated some high-profile women after that. That is quite a come-up for a guy who was just a jackboy in the streets. However, for every Jeremy Meeks, there are thousands and millions of good-looking men who never surmounted to much despite clearly winning in the genetic lottery.
The Adonis look-alike man in the streets can get a few favors due to his looks. As a man considered to be in the top one percent of looks by many people. I can tell good looks can work for you or against you. I for long detested the idea of using looks to get things. I wanted to earn money, have skills, and be productive. Extremely handsome men or hot women shy away from their looks, they have had enough attention due to their looks and would rather use something else to get ahead in life.
As a pretty boy or a cute OG, you will get lots of smiles thrown your way. If you start a business and are good with people, you will get lots of customers but you will still struggle with a lot of shit just like the everyday man. You still need a brain to go through life. Not just beauty minus brains.
Don’t be a user who uses his beauty to take advantage of people. Use your beauty sparingly. Don’t be a homewrecker, a swindler, or a two-timer. Beauty is good but combined with smarts and a good character, it is lethal. It is a rare combination.
Beauty privilege is real whether for men or women, a man though cannot live off his beauty. A man got to work. A man has to be a man.
Nice time ahead!
