What will be an ideal response? Title: What are the benefits of being beautiful? What are the drawbacks? Post by: wns2395 on Jan 21, 2018 It has been shown that good-looking people have more friends, better social skills, and
a more active sex life. Beauty can give the attractive individual an advantage. For example, research by Downs and Lyons (1991) showed that Texas judges set lower bail and imposed smaller fines on suspects rated as attractive rather than as unattractive. However, beauty also has its pitfalls. When one is attractive, it is hard to tell whether attention received is for one's good looks or for actual performance. A second disadvantage is that there is pressure to maintain appearance, pressures that could contribute, for example, to disordered eating such as bulimia and anorexia nervosa. |
