Just recently, I was watching the movie, The Dark Tower. In the movie, Matthew McConaughey's character makes a comment to his shape-shifting minion, (to the effects here) "Oh, I see you chose a beautiful face....with a beautiful face, the world is your oyster."
Also, I have heard it said that a beautiful woman is the most powerful person in the world.
....and, what about that song that says if you want a happy life don't marry a beautiful wife (or something like that lol)
I am just a dummy here and just trying to become more educated.
Is it possible there is something to beauty?
Is it possible that beautiful people should be paid a little closer attention to, to determine their personalities, their moral compasses...etc....
It is said that we are in essence products of our environments. We are shaped by our feedback we receive from others. Is it possible that beautiful people curry favor....they hear less negative feedback because many want something from them? Therefore, they become less empathetic due to genuine ignorance.
I don't know....but I found that line in that movie very interesting.
In addition, the references given mention the female gender. Of course, this is not a gender specific subject. Men can also be deemed as attractive and curry favor as well because of their looks.
I am sure it is just Hollywood and it means absolutely nothing....but...what if.
What about the beauty Hollywood hires, why?
What about news networks with the majority being attractive, why?
What about weather channels and their beauty, why?
Scammers using images of attractive people, why?
Common sense would say it is a play on human instincts...they are not labeled "attractive" for nothing. They garner attention, people wanting to watch/see them. In other words they generate viewer dollars. They by no fault of their own, have a following for nothing other than their looks. Some, I would suspect know they are beautiful and can play that in their favor. Hmmm....I am trying to think of something I just heard on a show in reference to a woman using her beauty for selfish ends. Again, men can too.
Beauty can have the power of persuasion. I once heard that humans have 5 essential motivators....one is sex and one is money.
I bet people have done some pretty stupid things at the request of a beautiful person.
I am not saying all beauty is dangerous...but...just like anything else...some can be.
