Why do unattractive people usually have a higher spirituality than "good looking" people?

Question

Do "good looking" people use their beauty for God or turn it over to the dogs to use as a fire hydrant? God bless all

Answer 1

Good looking people have better things to do with thier time...Like DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I have neither.  I guess that's why I don't care if a dog takes a wiz on my leg - kind of the friendly fire-hydrant.  

Answer 3

this is a sterotype! faith and spirituality have absolutely nothing to do with someone's attractiveness.

Answer 4

I think it's a matter of bias and self-fulfilling prophecy.

You want to see faithful people as dogs. So, voila! that's what you see.

If you meet a good looking Christian girl, you say, wow, what's she doing here, and never alter your perception of Christians being dogs.

I gotta tell ya, however, I've met quite a few really beautiful women who also happened to be Christians. I'm married to one.

Answer 5

Actually, one of the hottest girls I went to high school with was devoutly Christian.

I don't say she was hot because I had a crush on her, but because she was just undeniably gorgeous.

Of course, when she was 17 she got in a fight with her boyfriend, got kicked out of her house by her (Christian) parents, got drunk, and jumped off the Foresthill Bridge (falling over 700 feet). I'm not sure what that says about her, really.

Answer 6

Everyone starts with the easiest method available to them to gain happiness.  The unattractive are fortunate to not have the easier and less profitable methods available to them.  All things will be inversed at the unveiling of the world.

Answer 7

G, thanks!  I didn't think I was that ugly....jeesh!  :0(

Answer 8

i hav both

Answer 9

thats crazy...Im pretty and deeply spiritual too!!

Answer 10

Good looking people are more concerned with themselves and looking good.  Ugly people don't worry like me, as it will not do any good.  So we have more time for other matters like spirituality.

Answer 11

Supposing you somehow know that and even further, that it's true: perhaps because attractive people's values are more superficial.  Even spouting such an ignorant assertion hurts me.  Nothing more than speculation upon a hypothetical.

Answer 12

I Thank God for my  Good Looks

also my arms

legs

eyes

ears

family

mind

etc.etc.etc............

Answer 13

If that were true I'd be right up next to God, as far as spirituality goes.

Answer 15

Facts, figures, stats, Graphs????

Answer 16

Is there no grey area here? You are either a saint or a w***e?

Answer 17

It's usually a trade-off.  You either have brains or looks, but not both.  Unless you're me.

Answer 18

Well, I've found the brains and beauty typically have an inverse relationship. Ergo, the less attractive, the smarter. Not always. But more often than not, in my experience.

These smarter people are deeper, and think more about the universe, our origins, meaning, purpose, and everything else about life. This leads quite a few people to say "science can never explain it, so there must be something else", and there's your spirituality.

Me, I'm not quite the same. I'm fairly intelligent (not my own opinion, but that of others I respect, and I accept that), not exactly an Adonis, and have no spirituality. I am completely scientific. If it exists, science will, eventually, explain it. Definitely not in my life time, or for hundreds or thousands of years, but eventually. That leaves me with nothing to explain with the supernatural.

Now, just to clarify, I'm not saying all ugly people are smart, nor are all beautiful people stupid. I wouldn't dare generalize that way. All my statements above, as I said before, are entirely based on my own personal experience, which is hardly the ultimate of experience.

I've met some who have both beauty and brains in copious amounts, and others whose intellect couldn't fight it's way out of the wet paper bag over their heads.

However, to provide an example, Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein, two of the most brilliant men to ever grace the face of this planet, were not exactly underwear models. Despite Stephen Hawkings disability, his features are still pinched, gaunt, and, suitably, hawkish.

On the other side, is Tom Cruise, who most women dream of, and many men dream of being. Tom Cruise... the scientologist.

Unattractive brilliance, and beautiful idiocy.

Atheistically yours,

Answer 19

I use my beauty to scare away all of the school kids.

Answer 20

poor people tend to have higher spirituality than do rich people.

hungry people tend to have higher spirituality than do full/content people.

it's because people who lack in something, have to seek something to make up for it. they are more dependant in general.

Answer 21

That is an incorrect premise. Perhaps you assume that good looking people are not spiritual. I have known several generally unattractive people who are far from spiritual in their demeanor. Your question makes you seem like a shallow person. Try the high-school category.
