Maybe looks with brains and talent will get you in certain doors today but i doubt looks alone will. I dont recall many billionaires that have good looks.

Generally I would say they do.

They may not get a job over a much more qualified person, but all things being equal, people generally prefer to look at beautiful things be they appliances or people.

Please explain your opinion
Attractive people do have an advantage over less attractive people in corporate world, or in life in general, if everything is equal, and attractiveness is factor, as we use "attractiveness" to engage others humans.

It does not means it is easier; it means that they get more opportunities. At the end all depends of confidence/experience/capacity/knowledge/personality.

interesting topic . wine

What handsome normally says to people is “my father was an alpha male”. And a jawline only becomes inspirational when it comes as a complete package; stand up tall, shoulders back, rush nowhere because the world waits for you etc..

And I would say beauty is more arousing and disarming, adored just for being what it is. Not to sound like a homo but beauty creates more of a problem in women not developing their personalities.

Yes they have. Ever seen an ugly tv-personality?

What about a gameshow on tv, I hardly see ugly people there too.

Attractive people have an advantage, in the way they have been treated by others usually gives them a confidence and assurance which gives them an advantage.
Atractive and intelligent people shine brightly and are preferred, unless someone is particularly talented in a certain way.
But people with that peculiar quality called a magnetic personality step into another category.

Gotta say handsome might get more chances and take them - not necessarily for the better outcome - where beauty is an insurance against distress. She’s bound to end up in the middle somewhere in every sense, but a handsome man can still die in a ditch which might not necessarily be a bad thing. It’s happened throughout history.

Yes, they do.

A good first impression can go a long way and fortunately, or unfortunately (depending on your perspective) attractiveness is subconsciously equated to other beneficial traits like youthfulness, marketability, health and vitality, like it or not. And even though it may not help in the long run, where actual skill, knowledge and capability will definitely be necessary, it will definitely open doors and create opportunities A LOT easier.
