I do not think so.
People often say he/she is good looking but is arrogant.
Arrogant is a term that I do not use often, because it is rare I see it.
I have my thoughts on this, people who often claim this about other people, are misunderstanding arrogance for confidence.
So a person who has low self esteem will often describe a confident, comfortable, intelligent, happy person as arrogant.

Arrogance can be a behaviour trait without needing anything to back it up.
Arrogance can come from Money, Power, within, being good at one's chosen career, feeling your the best looking person in the bar..............and so on..........It can also come from just being stupid, being a bully, being as SS guard in Aushwitz or for just being the most stubborn............
Many, many things can cause arrogance.......

I believe so. It's what keeps me humble. One look in the mirror and I am taken down to size

Very well put. As always, it is the view of perception.
Hi Sommer, I love your posts.

Hi there.
It is the view of perception yes, it is amazing for instance how people will describe bullies or bullying.

"is there a connection between good looks and arrogance?"
I'm not even going to answer that question. It would be beneath me to do so.

vinny1967: Yeah I can imagine Sommer.......
Some people confuse arrogance with confidence.........
Probably because they lack confidence in themselves and dislike seeing it in someone else...........
Good to see you

Confidence is not arrogance. People who are really confident are not arrogant cos they are naturally confident.
But someone, say with loads of money will feel the power that being rich gives you, so he behaves in an arrogant way cos he thinks he is better than others. He is trying to be confident knowing he has all the money to back him up, but he is not confident by nature so he bahaves in an arrogant way thinking that he is being confident.
It's what people who suffer from "self importance" do. They behave in an arrogant way thinking that they are showing how important they are. A lot of maltese are like that. Most people here seem to be inflicted with "self importance".

Arrogance knows no age limit, gender, looks. Confidence doesn't have to be stated. It's understood without being pointed out. Arrogance requires a voice. Usually a loud one (in some manner). It's a conscious choice.

Now this I like...
It is a choice, absolutely, for oneself.
It is not a choice however, when one person calls another arrogant.
For the target person.
This is where I state that arrogance is misunderstood.

Or, the person targeting the other has little skill in observation and communication. But then it ends up being a matter of perception anyway.

Hi Dr. Den that there are any connections between those two
The codes of morality,integrity, intelligence which, in my opinion, are part of genetic and the way of upbringing, are responsible for people's behavior. It is aways worth to meet a family of a woman or a man ... when we are about to made a decision to get married.

And perception is something that we all have.
So of course very important.

Hi Dr.Den Don't think that there are any connections between those two ...
Well, Hope now it makes sense

Some or a lot of women want a guy who is at least somewhat attractive. Not that plain-looking guys never get dates, but it is true that women are usually more interested in good-looking guys (and maybe tall can be added in here too). I do my best to look past the outer appearance and see the woman for who she really is. Women in my opinion like guys to be caring and sensitive (not overly so -- more like, you know when to quit doing something they don't like, or you can pick up on how they are feeling, which is easier said than done). Strength (physical, mental and emotional), confidence (but not arrogance -- huge egos are the biggest turn offs for women!), and just a desire to be around them. If we are or act arrogance women will see us as jerks and get out ASAP. So I guess my point is we can be confidence and not be arrogance and it has some connections with looks.

To be truly successful, one should strive to be confident without any of the arrogance.
When you are so self absorbed and giddy with your own sense of self worth, you may not feel the need to be sensitive towards any other person. Also you may feel that you know everything, are able to read peoples' minds, know what they are thinking, that you alienate yourself from others. In fact, you may be so cocky and arrogant (confident) that you feel there is no need to check in with other people, no need for their opinions, no need to socialize period!
Believing in yourself and your capabilities and your worth-full-ness is a necessary part of being confident, but its the disregard for other people's values, opinions that make a person switch from being perceived as confident, to being seen as arrogant.
So when does confidence become arrogance? It happens when confidence is used to create a distance between people. That makes all the difference. So please be more sensitive to the words you use, and your poise. Being indifferent creates the feeling that you don't care, and that you would rather be talking to the goldfish in the aquarium.
