Depending on the demographic, that's half the battle right there.
- jakobegger 8y agoI wonder why nobody ever says, "she happens to have a good sense of humor, that's half the battle right there"
- chemochemo 8y agoI would wager you've never heard that because most people understand intuitively that good looks get you further than a good sense of humor, all else being equal.
- michaelt 8y agoUnless you're in the comedy business, I guess. And even there, being good looking don't exactly hurt.
- charlesdm 8y agoSo what? Some people are smarter than others, some are better looking, some have a bit of both. Some grow up in wealthy families and others in poor families. You get dealt a hand, and you play with it. You can be good looking and do horrible in life. You can be not good looking and become immensely wealthy. It doesn't matter.
- doubledad222 8y ago> It doesn't matter. It doesn't pre-determine your outcome. It does matter, in that it helps to start out wealthy or smarter or better looking than your competition.
- collyw 8y agoI think what he means is you shouldn't dwell on it. Make the best of what you do have and don't play the victim. Have you even met anyone successful who whined about how disadvantaged they were? Or do they tell you what they did to overcome the odds onstead?
- rosser 8y agoSurvivorship bias. Just because people can beat stacked decks doesn't make stacked decks okay.
- charlesdm 8y agoYes, genetics are a stacked deck. Aside from somehow modifying genes or picking a partner with wanted traits (intelligence, good looks, etc), there isn't really much you can do about it for now is there?
- matz1 8y agoAnd there bound to be some people who are worse in everything. Suck to be these people.
- mywittyname 8y agoI'd venture to say it's closer to maybe 99% of the battle for women, and maybe 95% for men. Even Jason Fenske, of the Engineering Explained channel, is super attractive. He has a channel dedicated to the minutiae of automotive technology that is considered highly niche. Not many people care to learn about tire sipes, yet he has a 10 minute video on the subject. I bet his audience demographics skew very heavily male.
- megaremote 8y agoNo true, there are plenty of good looking women, way more than 1%. It takes more than that, recognising the opportunity for one.
