The privilege of good-looking people

submitted by [deleted] from self.debatealtright

While everyone is vaguely aware of how much looks matter in society, I've recently started to wonder more about the role looks play in society.

  1. Good-looking people are more likely to get high-status jobs
  2. Good-looking people have friend groups that are made up of other good-looking people
  3. Good-looking people view the world differently, on a psychological level
  4. Being good-looking seems to cluster with other adaptive traits

While much of this seems obvious intuitively, is there any research you've come across that verifies these things? I suppose researching this is hard, because "good-looking" is at least partly subjective.

looks being mostly subjective is just a mindless and comforting platitude uttered by normies. we are attuned to evaluating peoples faces and bodies to a staggering degree (consciously and otherwise) and powering it all is a countless years of evolution selecting for mathematical principles of biological beauty and things like indicators of youth and health

i'm pretty sure there is a ton of research on attractive people and their "privilege"

Subjectivity of beauty is just cope and envy by sub-humans. Just look at the antifa protesters to understand this. Half of them are trannies, drug addicts, homoesexuals or worse. The words genetic trash are just written on their face.

Ugly, crooked, asymmetrical features and physical abnormalities...they're the bioleninist trash that form the backbone of any Jewish led movement, be it communism or liberalism.

Spartans had the right approach. They killed deformed children at birth and barred freaks from reproducing. Christianity was more Jewed and thus more naive in these matters. However, the incredibly darwinian conditions of Medieval Europe automatically purged these people from the gene pool.

Any healthy society in the modern, post darwinian age absolutely needs some sort genetic quality control system. Bar fuglies from reroducing, give them full welfare in exchange for sterilization, and abort any fetus with genetic disease or abnormality.

This shit is exactly why the movement stagnates at times. You can't save the white race by implementing autistic genetic screening to uphold some vague "purity" when the Chinese and Africans are pumping out 20 children per family with the sole intention of out-breeding and out-consuming and out-numbering whites.

Relentlessly chasing unrealistic and unnecessary goals is fruitless and distracts from much more important and pressing matters, especially when

  1. Even the ugliest White is on par with or better looking than the prettiest jew or african.

  2. Obsession with genetic purity beyond simple matters of race is dangerous territory.

  3. Darwinism is a falsehood and a flawed theory pushed by the Jews to undermine belief in the Bible and lay the basis for other false theories.

I don't see how you can be a racial realist and not be a beauty realist. When you see beauty you're actually looking at youth, fertility, symmetry and good genes. That's why it looks beautiful to the eye because there is an essential quality underlying the appearance. The whole 'race is a social construct' relies on exactly the same fallacies as the 'beauty is just subjective' argument.

Absolutely, beauty is goodness, goodness is beauty. And beauty is objective, they're evolutionarily adaptive traits. Or if you're spiritually feminine, they're God's ideal for His creation.

An important piece of trivia is that you can gauge male intelligence by looking at their faces. This is not however true for women. Research has shown that certain male facial features corelate very strongly with intelligence.

There is an intelligent look in men. Such features are: a long face, large nose, slightly up turned mouth corners and a larger gap between the eyes.

If a guy looks dumb, he probably is.

Some beautiful women make hundreds of thousands of dollars just on Instagram alone for branding themselves as social media influencers. In America, materialism and radical individualism rules.

They literally do nothing but talk about clothes made by slave labor in china, make-up made out of baby foreskins, abortion rights, and just pointless stuff.
