The Ugly Reality Of Pretty Privilege

Life is not fair…

Attractive people are better off. That is for sure.

As if winning the genetic lottery wasn’t enough of an advantage, this advantage comes with additional benefits.

In this article, I’m going to tell you the implications of the ugly truth of the so-called pretty privilege.

A study shows the brutal reality

Italian researchers from the University of Messina, University Politecnica delle Marche impressively proved with their study that beautiful people have a significant advantage when looking for a job.

They sent out over 11000 CVs to 1542 advertised job offers. In the process, they sent the made-up CV 8 times each, changing only the names, addresses, and the attached picture.

The results are so clear that the researchers even describe the job search as a beauty contest in their study report.

The average callback rate of all CVs sent out was 30%.
The callback for attractive women was 54% and for attractive men 47%
Only 7% of unattractive women go a callback while 26% of unattractive men got one.

For both sexes, the more attractive persons have an advantage. In the case of women, however, this unfairness is much more pronounced.

So much so that one could speak not only of a pretty privilege but also of an ugly disadvantage.

If you’re interested in the study, you can read about it in more detail here.

The pretty privilege is widespread

This phenomenon can be observed in almost all situations in life. Attractive people are generally treated better, get better grades in school, and even get paid more. Perhaps in addition to the gender pay gap, attention should also be drawn to the attractiveness pay gap.

I still remember exactly how it has always annoyed me in school that the pretty girls always got good grades. No matter how lousy they were. At least that’s how it seemed to me.
