There's a weird sub on reddit which is sort of a rad fem beauty sub. Basically admit looks get you special treatment in today's society and use that to your advantage even if you don't agree with it.

The thing is these are mostly young women with little life experience just starting out and they all want to look like plastic Instagram models. But a big part of the reasoning of the sub is that looking good gets you an advantage in lots of different areas of life, like jobs etc. If you turned up to an interview for a high paying job looking like a Kardashian no one would take you seriously and you'd be laughed out of the room.

The trouble is most young people simply don't know what attractive looks like (even though subconsciously we all know from birth). They can't recognise it either in themselves or others so go with what's fashionable instead. Then when they get to 30 they look back at pics of themselves and say "but I was stunning, why didn't I see it, and what am I wearing?"
