Physical attractiveness more strongly affects social mobility (education, occupation, and income) for males than females.

Known facts. Just a little Proof for the lookist deniers

If you’re ugly, you already know this.

Methods Using data about 11,583 individuals from the United States National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we contribute to the existing scholarship by investigating if physical attractiveness, assessed when individuals are around 15 years old, is an important predictor of intergenerational social mobility measured after 20 years.

Results We find that physical attractiveness matters both for males’ and females’ intergenerational social mobility outcomes, but it is more important for males, even when childhood characteristics, such as various aspects of parental socioeconomic position, individuals’ health, a proxy for IQ, neighborhood conditions, and interviewers’ fixed effects, are accounted for using imputed data for observations with missing information. Across three measures of social mobility—education, occupation, and income—physically attractive males are more likely to be socially mobile than males of average attractiveness.

Conclusion Physical attractiveness is an independent predictor of intergenerational social mobility outcomes regarding individuals’ educational, occupational, and income attainment.

Chart

thecoffeejesus · 2023-11-22T01:28:46+00:00

On average, men like 1/3 profiles on Tinder

Women like 1/16

20% of the men get 80% of the likes.

10% get 90% of the likes.

AKA: 1 in 10 men is attractive enough to get 90% of women to swipe

if you’re “average” you will be competing with every other man (including the 1/10 guys) for the bottom 80% of women.

Don’t waste your time. Meet people in real life. Make your personality shine.

Women care more about looks than men… all these red pill losers who went bald in their 20s can’t handle that women don’t find them physically attractive.

keep grinding keep hustling

When handsome men succeed it’s assumed because they are smart and happen to be handsome.

When pretty women succeed it’s assumed because they are pretty and maybe sometimes happen to be smart.

This is zero percent surprising.

maychi · 2023-11-23T16:42:15+00:00

That’s bc men, and society really, think ugly women are more capable, so are more likely to hire ugly women than pretty women for advanced jobs like executive, lawyer, doctor etc.

There’s no distinction like that for men.

Embarrassed-Coat-404 · 2023-11-25T11:17:36+00:00

Yeah sure unless you’re a black woman though

RSDevotion1 · 2023-11-22T21:17:54+00:00

Leaving out actual IQ renders this entire thing useless.

IQ is, bar-none, the number one predictor of lifelong success. I could easily argue that a highly intelligent, average male could be successful enough marry a highly attractive female which would lead to having attractive kids who are also high iq. Given mens propensity to take more risk, work longer hours, be more willing to move, less likely to take time off for children, etc this would put them at the top of the success hierarchy. This alone would render useless any predictor having to do with attractiveness.

To get an accurate idea of male vs female attractiveness in relation to success you would absolutely have to take actual iq as well as socioeconomic status at the outgo into consideration.

This would be like me running a study to see who is most likely to to get racially profiled based on age and height and leaving out the actual race. You can’t just ignore the most important factor.

So this study is based on people judging the attractiveness of children. Sounds about right for this sub.

Strongly affects, or is strongly correlated with?

Donttrickvix · 2023-11-23T02:05:31+00:00

My attractiveness’s has brought me nothing but misery in my adulthood. I honest to god miss being a lumpy, messy haired, ugly Tom boy. At least my interactions were genuine. Now all I see when men talk to me is them undressing me with their eyeballs.

Chemical-Outcome-952 · 2023-11-22T14:24:55+00:00

I would argue that being an attractive woman is actually a barrier to social mobility. Plus with all the work women are getting done now- is she actually attractive? For men- height is associated with higher intelligence and therefore we (the world but the US, in particular) need taller (smarter) men; like yesterday.

Ok_Management_8195 · 2023-11-22T02:04:16+00:00

Yeah, lookism exists. Duh. And if it privileges men more than women, that's because men are allowed more opportunities than women. Also duh.

Maybe because the most interactive woman tend to just marry into money or have side hustles where their large amounts of under the table income isn’t getting counted

PunishedVariant · 2023-11-23T15:00:17+00:00

Must be so nice to be completely oblivious to your own success

"I'm successful because I'm smart and work hard"

"Nah you're just attractive and all that fell in your lap"

PartGlobal1925 · 2023-11-24T09:01:03+00:00

And that's only half of the issue. People expect the men to act a certain way too.

If you're smart, they look at you with suspicion. If you keep to yourself, they barge in. And expect you to just deal with it.

ItoshiSae10 · 2023-11-24T22:09:12+00:00

Come on y’all, I know you have seen a guy who looks like shrek pull an attractive woman, you can do it just focus on what you got instead of what you don’t got

Canchito · 2023-11-25T18:49:26+00:00

Did they factor in those that were considered attractive at Wave I, but weren't anymore in subsequent stages? Being successful will help you stay healthy, well-groomed, and consequently attractive.

calculatedimpulse · 2023-11-26T07:36:16+00:00

The only privileges that exist are health privilege, hot privilege, and smart privilege; all other privileges are valid only insofar as they predict these 3 attributes.

No one acknowledges this because self-selecting as dumb, dysgenic, or ugly isn’t as fun as playing identity politics.

BenefitAmbitious8958 · 2023-12-03T23:05:56+00:00

While anecdotes are not evidence, I have definitely experienced this firsthand

Over the course of two years, I went from an anorexic 170lbs to a markedly fit 210lbs, and people treated me astronomically differently

I was constantly insulted, degraded, belittled, and otherwise treated as worthless when anorexic

Now, people don’t even question me when I speak, they typically just assume that I’m right

It’s disappointing how much people care about aesthetics
