Is it normal to think looks factor in your personality?

What I mean is, normal things in conversation are boosted upon based on a person’s looks.

If I told a joke to someone, many times they don’t laugh because I’m not attractive, but if a good looking guy said the EXACT same thing, it’s a burst of joy in the room.

I sat next to someone while being in a volunteer group and after we got our assignment number, he said “there is no 9, because 7 ate 9.” Everyone laughed for that lame joke.

Same thing with hitting on someone. An ugly guy tells a girl “I like your necklace, it’s pretty”, and she replies “yeah thanks” while annoyed. But an attractive guy says the same and she’s flattered.

Yes, it might seem shallow, but humans have a sex drive that can’t be ignored and lust influences our decisions.

    Beauty opens a lot of doors.

      It also closes a lot of them as other women get jealous, men get scared to ask out pretty women for fear of rejection etc. Life has a way of balancing out.the grass is always greener as they say.

        Tinder balances that out, chief.

        I am not jealous of other women. I don't see them as competition.

    Thats reality.
    looks matter.
    Do the best with what you have.
    Work on your communication skills.
    That and money go a long ways.

    Your example doesn't quite fit. Your personality develops over time based on experience. Negative experiences will factor in, but so does childhood and everything in between. This may effect your dating, but is that all you are? No. You are more than just your appearance.

    I mean yeah of course it does. Human beings are visually oriented creatures.

    Yes of course what kinda mouth breather would argue this???

    Posts like this make me wonder if we are really getting smarter about human sexuality or not? People pretend all the "shallow" stuff about human sexuality doesn't exist sometimes.

    Great point chief! This is so true. It's as much about how you say it as your looks.

    Of course it does. Nearly everyone are aware of how they look, and when you get attention from your opposite gender easily it affects how you act to a certain degree because you know you can always get away with something based on your appearance.
    That's just how it is, it's hard to ignore it fully when you know you have that advantage and the world is tough. Why not use it whenever you can then.

    I think how people interact with you helps to shape your personality, among many other things. Since looks factor into how people treat you it is definately a factor but it's a complex interaction.
