The sure jan gif would be useful for so many people in this thread
Looks are only helpful until the next mildly attractive person comes along. It's the classic example of a new, pretty girl in school being obsessed over for two weeks until she's old news. There's gotta be something else to sustain.
It open doors, nobody can say it doesn't, but the question is, they stay open? Especially if you're all conceited and **** like that. You need personality to sustain it, so...
It's simple. Attractive people tend to treat better, given more or jobs or be seen different, and even given second chances. Whereas, average looking or unattractive people are treated less and have to work twice as hard to proof their authority and efficiency.
Wait. I am not saying I am the most good looking person in the world but everything is in place and tbh before I really worked on my social skills I was really bad, I never had to chat up girls or be funny and be witty with a great personality, I just let the looks do it for me. And I easily got signed to a good firm (that is notorious for only taking in attractive people) for when I finish university but one day I was at a social meet and I realised I was boring as **** and if I didn't change I would be another cute guy in the office but I wouldn't get far.
So yes having good looks might have made me get signed with one of the best firms in the country but without personality I am not going to go far. I think one should have a good mixture of both. And if you aren't beautiful it's not the end of the world.
