You Don't Have a Daughter

Fairly fun and (I think) very knowledgeable website Stepcase Lifehack  (not to be confused with another website with a similar name) recently posted up part 2 of their 2-part article "10 Things in Life That Aren't Fair - and What to Do About Them." I of course checked it out because the name sounded funny. However, as usual, they had fairly useful information for their top 10. While I of course had the strong urge to re-post the one about CEO's being tall (hehe), I decided to highlight this one:

"Attractive people are considered smarter, nicer, and more moral than unattractive people.

'Attractive' is, of course, subjective, but even so: when someone thinks you’re good-looking, they’re more likely to think you’re a good person than if they find you physically unappealing. And vice versa – you’re more likely to think highly of a person you find handsome or pretty than one you find ugly or even average.

What to do about it: Well, one option is plastic surgery, dieting, working out, make-up, etc. but that seems pretty pathetic just to get people to think more highly of you. Since confidence is a big part of what makes people find you attractive, work on projecting confidence in yourself. And, of course, make sure whatever you do has merit in its own right. As far as your opinion of other people, try finding ways to see others as attractive whatever their appearance, and remind yourself when you think poorly of someone that you can easily be mislead by the way they look."

Quite interesting. Be sure to check out Part 1 & Part 2 for more things that aren't fair, and just what you can do about them.
