Do you ever wonder, if your appearance has had any substantial effect on your life's progression? And, if so, whether it was a net-positive or net-negative effect?
Discussion
Being this good looking has always been tough for me. Pretty sure it's hindered me.
Suffering from success...
If my life followed my looks I would live in a ditch.
Yes, it does.
It’s scientifically proven.
Height alone for males can add multiple 00’s to an annual income.
If you’re fat and slovenly of course your appearance impacts your life’s progression. Both because of being fat and slovenly but also if you’re this way you’re also not doing what needs to be done to advance in life.
On the flip side, if you’re athletic you naturally be more attractive, have more energy, and are probably eating the right foods to keep you healthy. Along with the motivation to do more work and are happier in general.
So yup, it certainly affects it.
Maybe women wouldn't love me as much.
Yep, net-positive without a doubt.
Being handsome has made life much a easier
Handsome is def net-positive. Beautiful is sorta... not.
Ideal is probably to be a thin 4.
All I know is, the older, fatter, and uglier I am, the better and easier my life is.
I'm assuming there's some point when that boomerangs, and my doctor is like, You could stand to lose some weight, but still.
I would appreciate if my wife was an 8 or above. I would like her to be extremely beautiful and intelligent as well. It's necessary to get beautiful intelligent children.
Yes. Net-negative.
I think the Halo effect has boosted me many times, I'm a handsome mf
hmmmm
been a bit of both
i'd say net positive though ^^
Wifey says i still have nice "cake"

An important revelation, especially for men, who tend not to think about these things as much as women. Tall / average height, glasses / no glasses, grey hair, skin tone, these things all have an effect on one man's perception of the other in ways that can make a material difference for whether you get jobs, make deals, get promotions, & etc.
I personally don't think any of these things are deal-breakers, but you have to go in with a mental model for both "how am I perceived by my society" and "how am I perceived by this person in particular," and work accordingly from that.
I have a feeling that my intimidating glare had an impact on me getting to where I am today 👀
That was supposed to be 😂.
😂 All emojis off, today.
I mean kinda. I've been refused jobs for having long hair before because they would ask me hypothetical questions like, hypothetically would you cut your hair for this job? And I said, well, hypothetically, go fuck yourself.
Not really sure if it was net positive or negative. The jobs weren't really that high end. And I honestly didn't want to work in a place where they took appearance and do account that heavily.
Beyond work situations, I've never really thought about it though.
Into account*
You used to have to include a picture with your CV, in Germany, and I think that probably hurt my chances, rather than helping them. I look very foreign and girly.
Weird. You would think skills would be the only thing that would matter. And yeah, pictures on your CV, it's pretty common in the US as well.
I'm always applying for "typically male jobs". They like tough-looking females, and I look like a kindergarten teacher.
What if you used a pic of Eva Braun?
Hi please check out my geyser 🙏🏻 it’s for my son, we have only 2 days to launch it🙏🏻

Hell yeah being handsome gives you way more opportunities in life, ppl are way nicer and open to you, this is a scientific fact.
I think the trick is to see it as a “bonus/extra” you are given and not let your life/personality being defined by it. Keep living and growing as if you were normal and just use your good looks as an extra trick up your sleeve when needed
Yeah, my appearance had a substantial effect on my progression. It was a net positive because it made me take into account that I'm a human and it's somewhat dumb to fit like a tool in the expectations and ends of others
I'm trying to be a tech professional with a face that says this cave man couldn't even be trusted with a wheel nevermind fire.
When I was very young, I had a friend who looked like a criminal, and on the contrary, I looked like an honest person. One night, we were walking in a deserted park, the police stopped us, and the interesting thing was that they only took a breathalyzer test from him. When they were taking the breathalyzer test, their commander turned to me and said, "Why are you hanging out with someone like that?"😄 Even though we were very similar in personality.
since nearly everyone stays out of the sun and eats crap, do most people really know what they look like.
