Are attractive people generally more happier than unattractive people?

Question

Are attractive people generally more happier than unattractive people?

Answer 1

I think it's happy people are more attractive than miserable people.

Answer 2

In general,  yes. There have been studies done that show moe attractive people have it easier in life (jobs, mates, treatment by society) and therefore are likely happier. People who say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" are unfamiliar with biological principles, the role of symmetry in attraction, and life in general. That, or they're lying to themselves.

Answer 3

i think its a different type of happiness. actractive people are happy with materialistic things and unattractive people are more happier with family and friends!

Answer 4

Depends. Often models are the most unhappy people in the world, whereas ugly people can be depressed at their appearance and not want to be seen outside their homes.

Answer 5

I think that attractive people have it easier than unattractive people.  However, I don't think they're generally happier.  Life is what you make of it, and an unattractive person with a positive outlook will be happier than an attractive person with a negative outlook.  Good question, though.

Answer 6

i don't believe im attractive, but life is real good, don't have to worry about the bullshit relationships put you through, especially all you females who like to play mind games, it's much easier to go unoticed as well.

Answer 7

As the lady said up there, happy people are more attractive...And its a very personal thing to judge attractivness of a person...so it may vary:)

Answer 8

I don't think so.  Surprisingly, I think it's the other way around.  Not to sound conceited or anything but I am an attractive person and I find that I am depressed or am feeling negative way more often than positive; while my unattractive peers seem to be genuinely happy most of the time.  I think this is because being good looking there is more pressure to be "perfect" so to speak... and it's easier for people who are unattractive to just be... less worries, and people who are not good looking are less likely to fall victim to self-absorption and vanity, which are obviously very ugly personality traits to have.  Also from what I've noticed, my physically unattractive friends seem to be able to find love and be happy with their significant other; while I usually seek those with good personalities but who are also "on my level" appearance wise and find myself hurt and in the midst of a whole bunch of game playing, getting cheated on and nonsense.  Also, if you are naturally average or unattractive; people don't expect as much from you, whereas if you are attractive, and have one bad day, people automatically look at you like what the h**l happened to her?!?!  I don't even like to leave the house without getting ready because people are always expecting me to look beautiful. It's also annoying to be stared at every where you go.  Then there are people who are attractive that tend to let their head blow up over the attention they get and as a result accumulate a lot of nasty characteristics because they feel they are superior to others.  There are a lot of perks to being good looking but I can honestly say that I think the downfalls outweigh them.

Answer 9

Yes, because ugly people have a hard time finding a relationship with someone else.

Answer 10

I'm not that great looking and I'm usually pretty up beat. I don't think it's a matter of how you look but how you carry yourself, self confidence, and self esteem. I know it sounds corny but it's the truth. There are a lot of uglier guys then me that I've seen with absolutely gorgeous girlfriends/wives. It's really not how you look but again, your personality and ability to disregard the way you look and be perfectly comfortable with yourself around anyone or anything.

Answer 11

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Who is to say, except in unfortunate cases of facial deformity due to congenital defects or accidents, who is attractive, and who isn't? For example, I find Giselle Bundchen extremely unattractive, though many people would disagree. On the other hand, I find Tommy Lee Jones extremely attractive, and I bet there aren't a lot of people out there who would agree with me. So, in summary, attractiveness is purely subjective, and thus the question you have posed, while interesting, can, in my opinion, only be answered on a case by case basis. Final thought:Define happiness. And, if someone says they are happy by this definition, how do you know they are telling the truth?

Answer 12

beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

Answer 13

not necessarily. if an attractive person only cares about the attention they can get from being attractive, then one can say they are satisfied or happy with that kind of situation. but the downside of it is, they would not really know if someone likes them for who they are or just for the way they look, and that can be frustrating. because at some point, being attractive isn't all that matters

Answer 14

people just are more attractive when there being positive then when their all morbid and they cant even smile

Answer 15

No, but I guess it is one of the things that can have an effect on happiness (as well as friends, family, money, place you live etc etc...). Sometimes life seems really easy for people who are beautiful, but its probably not. And yes, being happy is actually attractive in itself. Also, being attractive or not is not a set thing, as the old saying goes 'its in the eye of the beholder'.  

ps. Heath Ledger did not commit suicide. He accidentally combined sleeping pills and stress relief tablets that lead to his death.

pps. exoprince.. dont assume your  'unattractive peers' are happy just cos they look it. You probably seem happy to them. And I dont think there is more pressure on beautiful people to look perfect, there is pressure on everyone to look good. If you really are attractive, you're probably less likely to get bullied and you're obviously very confident, which beautiful people often tend to be. What a burden, being stared at for being beautiful.  I have to say, I think you ARE a little conceited.

Answer 16

nope. The little things like that shouldn't matter at all. A lot of my friends aren't that "attractive" but their really happy.

Answer 17

no, not in all cases.

Answer 18

No,I don't think they are.

It's not so much on what your looking at on the outside. Some very attractive people suffer from inner self esteem issues.

And some not so attractive people feel completely happy with themselves and their lives.

Everyone is different on the inside as well as on the outside.

Answer 19

attractive people who committed suicide.
