This is definitely true except with pretty straight women vs pretty straight women. No one discriminates against pretty women more thaother pretty women.

There was a somewhat funny SNL skit about this with Tom Brady about 5 years ago.

- Be Attractive

- Don't Be Unattractive

This is as true as anything in life.....and very few people will deny it. It is simply human nature....looking good is a little better than looking bad, period.

What's amazing is the number of people who will agree with this but who will also claim there is no such thing as white privilege. Given that there are many more white people in positions of decision making and humans tend to surround themselves with people similar to themselves there is no rational way to dismiss the advantage of being white. The same is even truer as a white man. It isn't a case of white men getting ALL the breaks and no one else ever gets one....it is a case of it happening slightly more than it doesn't.

It is very true. People trust pretty people more, want to be around pretty people more just because their beauty is ascetically pleasing. Good looking is more likely to be hired, etc.

I am kind of normal. I am not bad looking, but not Brad Pitt by any means. I up my game by working out and having very low body fat so I look ripped, owning a motorcycle, and making decent money for my age. So I do get looks but nothing crazy. My GF is quite attractive but wouldn't win a modeling competition either. So can't claim to know what either side feels like. I'm just a regular guy. And I have a good life...so won't complain.

What about all these liberal celebrities and their "celebrity privilege?"

I've never understood why athletes and entertainers who have WAY more money than most - always get free shite.

On the house, comped, it's our pleasure, whatever.

Here's the Florida State Attorney who apparently got stopped by cops for being black in a 35 MPH zone.

I'm guessing that white privilege is worth a lot more than pretty privilege unless you're trying to get laid.

You are guessing wrong.

A pretty black woman gets more privileges than either a non-pretty white man or a non-pretty white woman.

The left is a blight on society, seeking to destroy rather than build up. Privilege exists for many reasons based on context. Instead of tearing down those that have it, they should be concerned with lifting up those who are less fortunate.
