Well beautiful women have to live under constant scrutiny. They don’t have the right to pick their nose like ever, because someone is always staring. Also, there is the fear that people only ever want to fuck you. Which is probably true in many cases.

Except that, in spite of the myriad number of “types” in the world, there are certain characteristics which have been found to be considered attractive nigh-universally. For women, a large hip-to-waist ratio, wide eyes, clear skin, etc - so I don’t think we’re over-generalising\* too\* much to say “attractive people have an easier time of it in some ways”

It can probably be said that a successful man (i.e. rich) is equivalent to a beautiful women, in that they are never sure of the motivations of the opposite sex.
