Here’s a clue: Attractiveness is not black and white, but shades of gray. To whatever extent a person exhibits a degree of attractiveness, they are treated better by society. Is it shallow?…well, of course it is. Much of social interaction is shallow. To see someone’s inner beauty, you have to spend time with them. But I will admit, the author is on the money when she writes, “…the fact that women who wear a size 4 and are 5'11 often receive a hearty dose of good energy regardless of what they put out.” That said, they also take a certain amount of abuse, attention bringing both good and bad. However, I have no doubt that the vast majority of “attractive” people welcome the benefits they derive from being considered so. It’s also far easier to hide one’s attractiveness than to become attractive. Existence, considered on its own, isn’t fair. Life uses every advantage it can acquire.
