Just a thought. I feel people sweep a lot under the rug if the majority finds you beautiful/handsome.

    They dont “win” but yes, im sure life is easier in some ways.

    Some people win the genetic lottery, and are tall and attractive, others dont.

    No point fretting about things you cant change, just be the best version of yourself you can be.

      I can definitely tell the difference between life as a pretty girl and as a fat menopausal lady, but really the only things the former got me was low level jobs and guys wanting to sleep with me (ew).

    I think it’s moreso the rich keep winning regardless of morality and its easier to achieve/maintain what society considers the beauty de jure when you’re wealthy.

    Your appreciation of sweeping under the rug for handsome people is true, however, not the only outcome therefore I disagree that beautiful always wins. I’ve seen beautiful lose just as much.

      Pretty privilege has been a thing since Victorian times, but I can’t think of any current “winner” (ergo total loser) who isn’t ugly.

      Evolution favors certain traits that cultures find appealing. Yes beauty should be subjective but that’s up to the individual. Attraction to body types should scare the shit out of people but animal instinct is a strong factor in favoring healthy looking people.
