Hotness is mostly a consequence of believing that you’re hot. It transcends physical attractiveness, which plays a much smaller role than people think.

But a big part of your job is acting like you believe you're hot, right?

acting like i believe i am desirable by them yes. this doesnt work nearly as well for people who aren't above a certain threshhold of hotness

Different criteria and context for on-screen vs. in-person. Someone with so-so looks but amazing style and personality will be much more attractive in person. On-screen privileges interaction w image, so naturally someone's raw physical attractiveness will weigh more heavily.

Imo the screen distorts/emphasizes entertainment/personality in a very similar way to distorting/emphasizing attractiveness, and if you're less hot in person you're also likely to be less entertaining in person (e.g., see popular youtubers failing live interviews)

Tyler’s statement lines up with my experience. Perhaps it’s a different worlds phenomenon
