Whether we like it or not, attractiveness works even on people not looking for sex and in situations not directly related to mating.
There were many studies: attractive people earn more, are considered more intelligent, honest and kind.
Handsome criminals earn lighter sentences, pretty patients get better care from their doctors.
Visual stimuli of attractive people influence purchases, increasing chance of impulse decisions.
There is a reason why media bombard us with images of attractive people.
