Quoting: “From my personal experience, people who are better looking are less likely to pursue advanced degrees, or play an instrument or learn other languages,”
From experience, it is, well, the absolute contrary:
Whether one likes it or not, beautiful people will almost always be better educated, for 2 simple reasons: their teachers were nicer and more motivated when dealing with them, from an early age - and on top of that, beautiful people lose less time in the pursuit of sex (being beautiful indeed gives you a lot of free time to study and better yourself, while ugly people have to toil extra-long hours for sex).
Almost all the people I know who play instruments and speak various languages, are physically beautiful. And sadly, 95% of the desperate, under-diploma, jobless people I see are ugly. Unfair, if you think about it; but such is life.
Your points are true but only additive or minor addenda. Your points suggest nurture, which is important, but less than the underlying biological advantage that is both IQ and physical beauty. The real root cause is that there is direct trait linkage. People who are smarter or have greater IQ are more successful. More successful people mate with more attractive people, on average, over time. It's as simple as that.
Also, people with high IQ and/or family money, will automatically get 1, 2 or 3 "points" more in handsomeness. Because money and intelligence will give them confidence and charisma, plus, they are smart and fortunate enough to know how to enhance their appearance (by eating well, avoiding drugs, exercising, holidaying in warm weather to get tanned, sporting nice clothing, etc).
You've made some quality and helpful posts in the past, but this is total bollocks. Do you know how many millions of people who are insanely wealthy and/or have really high I.Q.s are a complete mess physically? Do you know how pathetically easy it would be for most of those people to turn things around? Do most rich and/or smart people who are a complete mess physically do anything to improve themselves physically? Start with the president of the United States. That guy has made more money in his life than almost anyone and he is a complete fat slob who looks like aside from some time on the golf course, has had zero physical exercise in decades.
I love
your way of complimenting NOT: "You've made
some quality and helpful posts
in the past"...
Well,
some quality posts I must have made amigo, I mean, ten thousand "likes" on RVF don't come posting Pepe
memes, cat gifs and trash...
Anyway, you are forgetting something while describing the situation: men who can afford to be sloppy and "a mess", even though they are rich, are
married men, who have abandoned the Game and all hope at fun in life.
The (not very old)
single rich men of the world (especially in Europe and Asia) are almost all well-groomed and sharp, aware of the competition and maximizing their assets.
As to the Donald himself, I actually think (no homo) that he looks great. He might not be Arnie fuckin Schwarzenneger, but why would a rich man spend tens of thousands of hours body-building? If one is rich and handsome, one doesn't need very big muscles, neither for protection nor sexual attractiveness.
Don't we have the best-looking presidents folks:
At his age, if you look as great as he does, well, consider yourself extremely lucky!
