Conversation

In my experience, the biggest unspoken and often unseen social motivator is attractiveness. Consistently, hotter people are treated better, even subtly, and consistently most people around me have either denied or ignored that they're treating/being treated differently.

Hotter people are more confident, because they've been getting this boost from society that's invisible to them. In their world, people just like them more, treat them better, and they don't see how unattractive people don't get the same treatment.

I've seen my male friends swarm an attractive women and describe her personality as glowing, her demeanor as confident and assured, when in my opinion she was not actually cool; they were blinded by her face and they were completely unaware to how blinded they were.

I've also seen really attractive friends get treated well; people smile at them more, pay them more attention in conversations, ask them more questions, are kinder, get more favors, and those attractive friends never once acknowledge that being hot is why they're so confident.

I'm not sayin all this is bad, that we should treat ppl equally, but I would like a greater acknowledgement and visibility. I'm not usually into 'privilege' conversations but this seems like the biggest unspoken privilege of our time, significantly greater than racial disparity

To be precise, they were blinded by their mind. It was their internal reaction after looking at the face that blinded them.

This all sounds believable…until you get to the part about your male friends looking at her face. :-)
