Are people more likely to treat good looking people better?
Whether it is giving them a break on their opinions or paying more attention to them or more willing to do favors for them?
Or do you treat people based more on their personality?

Okay, this has been on my mind some time, P. I'm inquisitive like that. Does the GS administration tell your mod to deliberately create threads to bring some life into a forum?
Re: Do you think that good looking people get a break?
And to answer your questions, yes they tend to get more of a break according to research.

Im pretty sure someone did a study on this very topic and came to the obvious conclusion that better looking people do get better opportunities. Exhibit A- the talentless kardevilian klan

Re: Do you think that good looking people get a break?
it can cut both ways, overall i think better looking people have an upper hand, there have been many studies done about that. On the other hand it can be a bit of a liability in certain situations as well, just read some study which noted that good looking women who are being interviewed by someone not as good looking dont tend to fare well. There are also some views that better looking people are shallow or concerned with looks only or are all beauty and no brains.

and He created everyone and everything beautifully...
, very few of us actually truly believe in tht....
im not very good looking but i can definitely turn attention towards me when i wish to with my brain. so i dont believe superficial beauty makes one better than another. intelligence and wit far outweighs beauty when it comes to opportunities and success.

some facts and studies
Do Attractive People Make More Money? - WSJ.com
According to his research, attractive people are likely to earn an average of 3% to 4% more than a person with below-average looks.

A new study published in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences finds that the attractiveness of interviewees can significantly bias outcome in hiring practices, showing a clear distinction between the attractive and average looking interviewees in terms of high and low status job packages offered.
Good looks will get you that job, promotion and raise | Psychology Today
According to Hakim, the ‘‘beauty premium’’ is an important economic factor in our careers, citing a U.S. survey that found good-looking lawyers earn between 10 and 12 per cent more than less good-looking colleagues. Moreover, she says, an attractive person is more likely to land a job in the first place, and then be promoted. “Meritocracies are supposed to champion intelligence, qualifications, and experience. But physical and social attractiveness deliver substantial benefits in all social interaction - making a person more persuasive, able to secure the co-operation of colleagues, attract customers and sell products,” she writes in a column for a London newspaper.
Other research has shown that individuals tend to find attractive people more intelligent, friendly and competent than less attractive people. A University of British Columbia study found that people identify the personality traits of people who are physically attractive more accurately than others during short encounters. The study conducted by Jeremy Biesanz, Lauren Human and Genevieve Lorenzo, showed a positive bias toward attractive people. “If people think Jane is beautiful, and she is very organized and somewhat generous, people will see her as more organized and generous than she really is,” says Biesanz. The researchers say this is because people hare motivated to pay closer attention to beautiful people.
A second study by Duke University researchers John Graham, Campbell Harvey and Manju Puri found CEOs are more likely than non-CEOs to be rated as competent looking. The team found that CEOs rated competent just by their appearance tended to have higher incomes.
A Tufts University study by psychologists Nicholas Rule and Nalini Ambady found a random sample of people could rte the competence, dominance, likeability, maturity and trustworthiness just be examining the facial photographs of CEOs.
Finally, researchers Elaine Wong at the University of Wisconsin and her colleagues at The London Business School examined the faces of CEOs and determined that CEOs with wider faces had better performing companies than CEOs with narrow faces.
So it seems that physical appearance is a significant factor in the hiring, compensation, promotion, and competence of executives, as much as we would like to think it isn’t.

I believe so. They are used to getting that attention. And it doesn't even have to be the receiving of compliments. They KNOW when someone is looking at them for a few minutes longer....they soak that in...they sense it. Reminds me of one of my friends ...she was very pretty, MashaAllah. The kind who was naturally pretty...and didn't need makeup. She acted sort of modest...and then one day told me out-of-the-blue while examining herself in the mirror that she knows she's pretty. LOL.

Re: Do you think that good looking people get a break?
It depends from person to person, the classic debate of whether looks matter over content of their character. I've been thinking about this lately as well.
