Fact is, people tend to change their behaviour towards others based on the looks of said others. Nothing about that is ridiculous. I don't say bad behaviour never gets challenged, but it might be that good-looking or otherwise popular people can have more overlooked. That, as I said, must not always lead to bad personality, but lesser negative reinforcement might make it more probable. In answer to another post you said you base your opinion in science. Can you provide these science facts please, I'm very interested in behavioral science overall. |
Genetic science is far enough advanced that we can say with certainty that DNA for intelligence, sense of humour, kindness, etc are not inversely linked with genes for looks. So we can eliminates the “nature” side. On the nurture side, I don’t think there’s much real data that says being ugly gives you a better personality. There are lots of nurture elements. Family, economics, religion, etc. Physical reaction is one, i’m sure, but there is nothing to say it makes you better. Maybe it makes you less confident and thus less successful or scared to try new things. Maybe it makes you bitter or jealous. The idea that it makes you worse in non-physical ways is silly.
