A Very Interesting Question About Good Looks...

[Forumspeaker]

sa mga tunay na gwapo at magaganda, ano bang feeling na gwapo kayo or maganda..?

Masaya po ba?

Kasi di ba sa tv, sa books, sa ads, parang pag gwapo ka or maganda, parang ang saya mo na.. parang un ang gustong iparating.. is this really true? Does good looks buy happiness?

[DJQuimby]

Hell yeah...It gets me laid with da ladies most of the time...and after that...I'm extremely happy!

[spidervein]

i think happiness is a decision. i know beautiful people who are very unhappy even though they seem to have it all.

that being said, though, i think that beauty opens a lot of doors and opportunities. studies have shown that good-looking people are treated better than those who dont do so well in the looks department.

but beauty still does not = happiness.

[nutriban]

beauty + brains+ money= happiness:naughty:
*okay*

[HiPPiEcHiC]

^ Seconded! :)

You get lots of advantages like getting laid easily and that respect you get from people especially w/the ladies. It seems like everybody wants to be your friend cuz they know they will look good when they're with you. Statististically, among 3 individuals competing for a job position with same high educational background, usually the best looking one gets the position. It's feels good to be good-looking and you always seem to know that you are but then you learn not to think about it and just shift it to just being yourself and you end up just being even more good-looking. It has it's downside like for all the haters tryin to hate but it's key that you're also confident about being good-looking. I know many very very extremely good-looking people but lack confidence and I also have many friends who how to handle it. But overall, you already have an edge if you're good-looking. ;)

Peace

Being good-looking, just like being rich, doesn't necessarily bring happiness. Sure, just like how poor people think money can bring happiness, it's logical for ugly/average-looking people to think good looks can bring happiness, but it doesn't.

For starters, good-looking people tend to have quite high standards when it comes to potential mates, sometimes too high that it's hard for them to find someone to settle down with or to maintain long-lasting relationships with. Since it's easy for good-looking people to have great sex with people they actually find really attractive and hot (hence, much better orgasms), they tend to focus on sex primarily especially when it comes with relationships. Once the sex gets boring and the orgasms are not that intense anymore, they tend break up and move on (just look at Hollywood as an example). When you're average-looking, you don't necessarily put sex on a high regard. You tend to focus more on personality, compatibility, and communication. You focus more on other stuff that's important.

For me, happiness isn't really based on your looks, brains, or money (or all of them together). It's about your relationships with other people: your friends, families, sexual partners, etc.

ano po yung "tunay" na maganda? ano pong basis non? paano kung feeling ko lang na ang ganda-ganda ko? :p

masaya maging maganda. maganda rin na maging masaya. in other words, sana lahat tayo maging masaya, nang ang buhay nati'y maging maganda.

:D

[IXG888]

sad but very very true......oh well... i can always depend on being loved by special people that makes me feel beautiful.. it might not be the same love as what good looking people have.. but eventhough not many can love ugly people (like me) hehe! at least its true...

well, actually po kasi, beauty is something that cannot be defined (may point ka dun) but then, not all people see other people as someone who have a good-looking face. Like all things in this world, there's a "set" value on beauty. A norm. That if you are on a given bracket, your normal a.k.a. average looking. If you are lesser, ugly and greater, beautiful or good-looking or handsome.

yah, it has benefits. good-looking people tend to draw attention more than the average-looking. Try to observe when you're buying. If by chance that you enter a store and someone more good-looking than you, ( im not saying you're not) enters the store too, the salesman or saleslady will start nearing him/ her rather than you. *okay*

But although this seems enjoyable, it may also seem irratating. Like you will have stalkers and stuff. And some homos even get attracted. >.<

[batinks13]

though it does not give you total happiness..it makes you somewhat happy..syempre *** feeling of self satisfaction..hehe..:)

[cutedoc]

good looks doesnt buy happiness...

its a matter of proper perspective, if God gave you good looks take advantage of it, definitely you have an edge among others, be it a job application, a regular customer, a speaker or a host, a lawyer, a doctor or even a priest...

however the key to it is how you take advantage of what you have, on a job interview for example, you'd get a nod for your good looks, however, make it good on the interview itself, or if you are to give a talk, or treat a patient, do it with excellent execution, that way you wont be branded as a dumb, a good face with no brain...

symepre iyong tipong naglalakad kalang sa mall, nakatingin sila sayo... sarap ng feeling... admiration :)

for gurls plus iyon... tipong sasakay ka ng bus tapos wala ng maupuan.. may biglang tatayo bibigay na syo ang seat niya... (gentleman)

tipong pagmagbubukas ng pintuan magugulat ka nalang at bubukas na siyang bigla... at kung minsa ikaw pa ang uunahin

:bop: :bashful: :D :love: ;) :lol:

Who needs money when you have good looks, I always say.

[harsh]

it depends. being good-looking does not equal happiness. but it does open more doors. if you're good-looking, you are:

1. well-liked by people in general. this leads to simple things like getting better service in establishments to very important things like landing a job and establishing countless connections.

a lot of people liking you = a lot of connections = loads of opportunities in work, business, and generally, life

2. well-liked by people of the opposite sex. being good-looking extends your range of choosing mates. sometimes, even beautiful people coming from the lower society bracket are mistakenly regarded as coming from the elite. people considered coming from the elite will most of the time be approached by girls/guys from the same background since those who feel inferior wouldn't go for them.

being attractive to the opposite sex of the same or better stature than you are = financially stable married life (good-looking kids pa!) hehe

3. more inclined to have added confidence. if you are confident with urself, u rid of the number one factor that ruins most of the personal relationships you establish --- insecurity.

confidence = going for what you want in life without hesitations (giving you more shot at achieving your goals)

no insecurity = more peaceful personal relationships

those are are just some of the perks of being good-looking. it is an advantage, but not an assurance. if you're good-looking, it takes a load off your back since you have more time to focus on more important things without having to worry about physical appearance. they do not equal happiness because it can only go so far. as corny as it may sound, beauty is truly only skin deep. the connections you've made, the partners you've earned, you have to keep them in your lives using your smarts, and especially your heart. :)

If you are conventionally good looking it is true that you get a lot of perks. People tend to treat you a bit nicer than others. If almost everyone agrees that you are good looking, it boosts your self-confidence. But it doesn't necessarily mean you are automatically happy. I believe things that make people happy evolve and change. It is in our nature not to be content with what we have and seek for more. Classic example is Britney Spears. On the surface, she's got it all. Looks, moolah, career etc. But she's losing it!

I remeber in college I had a classmate who has big boobs..I mean BIG..ang most of the guys want to befriend her. Upon my observation, there wasnt a time that their eyes didnt stuble upon her treasure, in most instances a glance and a hard look at her treasure is a goal for everyday encounter for those guys :lol: Well thats the down side of being good looking. At the end of the sem the girl sropped wearing fitting clothes and wore loose clothes instead :naughty: poor sexy girl, she was deprived of her freedom of clothes. :lol:
