Numerous studies have proven that attractive children tend to be more popular and are treated better by their classmates. In addition, teachers tend to evaluate attractive children higher for the same work than those less attractive and expect them to perform better.
When applying for jobs, attractive people have a huge advantage. Not only are they more likely to be hired, but they are also paid more. In court, an attractive person is less likely to be found guilty than an unattractive one. On the occasions when attractive people are found guilty, they tend to receive lighter sentences.
Virtually every study ever done on attractiveness in any social situation demonstrates that attractive people are treated better than those judged to be “unattractive.”
A large majority of people believe a stereotype in which everything that is beautiful is good and that which is ugly is bad. Physically attractive people are routinely credited with qualities such as intellect, social skills, competence, confidence and moral virtue. The classic example is the “Good Witch” who is beautiful and the “Wicked Witch” who is ugly.
