For women, the reason why beauty is important is that it is similar to the fact that academic qualifications are a stepping stone. It is a bonus factor, but it is not very important. A woman’s beauty is an advantage inherited from her parents. But living beautifully is what you truly are capable of.
I think a very important reason why beauty is important to women is that among all other abilities, appearance is the most direct and has nothing to do with external conditions, such as showing learning ability and passing exams. It takes a certain amount of time to express other abilities. But beauty is the loudest business card at any time.
1. Beauty, as a resounding business card, can usually win more people’s attention.
A psychologist once did an experiment with the same girl. They deliberately dressed her up to be very beautiful and made her cry on the street. The psychologist found that many people would sympathize with her and ask her what was wrong and what she needed. What help; later they dressed the girl in filth, covered her face with dust, and made her cry on the street, with almost no one paying attention. The reason why Brigitte Lin has always been a goddess in the minds of many people is because her appearance is so beautiful, pure and refined. Even though she only has a high school education, her beauty has attracted the attention of the world.
2. Generally speaking, beautiful women have more opportunities, while ugly children are easily left out and suffer many injustices.
Whether it is the world of adults or children, the most popular people are always those with the most pleasing looks, and children will easily bully those who have defects or are not well-dressed. , often laugh at them. People tend to give more advantages to beautiful girls to some extent. This is also what psychology calls the halo effect.
3. According to psychological statistics surveys, good-looking people tend to have higher salaries than ugly people.
Psychologists have conducted a survey of more than 7,000 subjects and found that when their ability levels are equal, the salary of those with outstanding beauty will be higher than that of ordinary people. The advantage brought by beauty is what we call the age of appearance. Indeed, beauty reflects a person's innate advantages.
However, with the popularity of cosmetics, even ordinary-looking girls can become more elegant through makeup. Beauty is usually the first-mover advantage, but as time goes by, people will gradually lose immunity to beauty. Power, this is why the CEO of Jingdong said that he is face-blind, and then he doesn’t know whether the milk tea sister is beautiful, and the reason why the milk tea sister wins is more because of her talent and ability. We can only say that beauty is the icing on the cake, but talent and ability are the soft power that any woman needs most.
