There are many reasons why looks don't matter but a lot of us assume that beautiful people have easy lives, because they can flirt their way to the top. While there are definitely perks to being pretty, it can't actually get you everything you want. There are plenty of things that you have to work hard for in life in order to achieve. The world isn't that unfair, because there are reasons why looks don't matter and here are a few things that good looks could never get you:
1. A Job You'll Keep
If an interviewer is biased, a model might have more luck getting a job than an average looking girl. However, she won't be able to keep the job for long if she doesn't know what she's doing. Even if her good looks somehow got her the job, her hard work is the only thing that will help her keep it. No matter how pretty a person is, they aren't going to continue to get paid if they don't do a job well done.
2. Respect
Respect is something you earn. Even though men might be more polite to pretty women, it doesn't mean that they respect them. In order to earn respect, you need to treat others with respect. A gorgeous gal who walks all over her friends and treats men like garbage won't be respected by her peers.

3. A Real Relationship
Pretty women have to be careful when it comes to relationships, because a man might only be interested in them for their looks. The only way for her to enter a real, meaningful relationship is to have a good personality to go along with her looks. If she's just a pretty face, then she won't be considered marriage material by most men.
4. Genuine Friends
Real friends don't care if you're pretty or not. All they care about is your personality. They want to have a good time with you, and in order to do that, you have to be fun. You also have to be someone that they can trust. Otherwise, you'll be stuck as an acquaintance and never reach BFF status.
5. A Long Life
It's possible for a woman to be skinny without being healthy. She might be naturally thin, even though she never exercises, always smokes, and drinks often. If that's the case, then she's not guaranteed to live a long, happy life. If she wants to remain healthy, she has to workout and take care of her body, just like any other woman does.

6. Peace of Mind
There are plenty of pretty people who are philanthropists. However, there are also pretty people who are bad seeds. Anyone who's part of the latter category won't have peace of mind. They won't be able to look in the mirror and like what they see, even if their exterior is flawless.
7. True Happiness
Your good looks might be able to get you out of a speeding ticket or get you backstage to meet your favorite band members. While those little things would certainly brighten your day, your looks can't give you genuine happiness in the long run. That's something that you have to search and fight for.
Your looks aren't a one way ticket to paradise. Of course, there's nothing wrong with being beautiful! You just need to have a good personality to go along with those good looks. Have you ever gotten special treatment, because of the way you looked?

Cindy: Integrity last and beauty fades. Any man with sense will no the difference
Thelma62913: Just to add a little humor to the comment board, a class I took required us to get up and do a 3 minute presentation on our topic. We were to be rated on a scale of 1-10. One guy in the class says to me, " Well you get a 10 just for walking up!" Thought it was cute, but goes to show you that people really do check out our looks.
Jennifer: I've found it to be a blessing in many ways to be pretty so..
karen: Grrrr
peony: Yes OK but women are suppose to be aesthetically pleasing it is part of our dna so... Anyway there will always be people who will give u a hard time because of your good looks so I say flaunt it. And there are good looking people who do get the job and do the job.
Kailee: I have to say this, especially after reading the comments, "Beauty fades DUMB IS forever" @kira fare? Um, FAIR, LOL! @neecey well said! @holly,this article is FAR from hateful and spiteful, it's VALID, TRUE. Ladies, it is a balance, beauty, brains, good character....love this article and the comments are hilarious~
lalaland: Looks matter. Only beautiful people act like it don't bc they don't understand what it is like to get bullied constantly just bc your genes aren't favourable :(
Michelle: I agree with this article. You can't get by alone on life just by looks however it's unfair because attractive people still tend to get things more than those who are unattractive. I would know because my little sister is incredibly beautiful and opportunities and guys just fall into her lap while I have to work for that stuff and am generally unlucky.
karen: Mrrrr
