In
this world, you’re better-off being good-looking. At all ages and in all walks
of life, attractive people are judged more favorably, treated better. Many
factors can play into personal attractiveness — the way you dress, the way you
act, the way you carry yourself, even things that are hard or impossible to
change, like social status and wealth, race, and body size and shape. But the
first thing we notice when we meet someone is their face.
Beauty
is unfair. Not everyone can be born with great genes. Not everyone can be born
symmetrical. But obviously there are
many factors contributing to attractiveness that are potentially under our
control.
