Are Attractiveness and Good Health Correlated?

[TheOutlierToday]

Being attractive is such a huge advantage. Damn

[ellie]

This is simultaneously the most interesting and saddest thing I've seen today

If you're standing on the edge of a building, this video might help.

This channel's premise: "I am going prove you 100 different ways that it is better to be beautiful."

Really important to not take life too seriously. Stress is a big killer.

Being healthy plays a big part in the way we present ourselves. People who care about taking care of their body tend to also put effort into other parts of their physical appearance. Sure working out does not change facial features unless you’re losing fat which can help sculpt your face. But I think just the mindset of taking care of what you have, plays a big part

[limiwa]

If you're attractive you typically want to maintain that attractiveness so you tend to take better care of yourself ... at least that's what I've noticed.

[Mrkevi]

Yes, 100%. Beauty is Health. Health is beauty. You are attracted to the health. Beauty is simply our perception of our health.

Looks actually does matter, people that say otherwise are either lying or naive.

[danmanable]

Being ugly is a curse I'm convinced, wished I looked halfway decent.

[ineedmoresleep]

Being chronically ill makes stuff like working out and eating healthy significantly harder.
Ironic because we need it more.
Can’t exactly workout or get food if you’re spending all your free time in pain.
And this accumulates over the years.
The sleep deprivation definitely hurts

[Frionelz]

In conclusion, i was sad stressed and depressed only because of my appearence (or lack of). Nothing i can really blame myself for. Its super sad.


This channel is spot on but also giving us an overall message : only attractive people deserves to live. Some of us are meant to suffer

Also gives you more promotions and makes you more income resulting in a healthier life.

Being attractive doesn't mean that your life is good. You can be chronically ill but still be very attractive. You can be unsatisfied with your life or in life generally, despite being attractive. Life is different for all people and there is no predicting it. We can predict, only to some extent.

It helps to remember that we have more control over our appearance than we think we do. I used to be so much less attractive than I am now that I've lost weight, changed my haircut, improved my clothing, and payed more attention to grooming and hygiene. Not all of us can look like models, but we can sure bring ourselves up a couple points.

[starfishandroid]

The reverse is also true. The healthier you feel, the more attractive you become.

[pallas_kater]

It's quite interesting that people link physical attractiveness to good health, when actually it's not necesserily the case. Like, beauty standards for women these days are still not somewhere near healthy, actually what lots of people deem attractive may lead to amenorea and some other stuff related to body mass deficit and low fat percentage 🤷‍♀️
Actually it's interesting, that one USSR writer promoted the same idea "attractiveness=health" (Efremov, ≈70-80th), and his blind spot was about conventionality of beauty standards, just like there.

[VNuxion]

I thought this was general knowledge. But there will probably be people saying
"Oh but personality" "eugenics" and bla bla bla

[noemidemelo]

As someone who is incredibly ugly and has had an incredibly good physical health till recently, but is mentally screwed due to abuse from different people and to a lot of limitations in life because of physical appearance, which also has lead to stress and thus physical health damage in the recent years, I'd say the content of this video is pretty accurate. Beauty is not just an indicator of good genes and health, it's more of a creator of circumstances that can help both physical and mental health.

Don’t forget that a lot of people are envious of those who are very attractive so they don’t always have an easier time in life.
