why do we long or want to be beautiful?

We sometimes ask ourselves, why do we long or want to be beautiful? Research shows that the person’s perception that beauty leads to positive and life fulfillment is what is referred to as the Pygmalion Effect. When you are born to be beautiful, it is usually linked to being likeable. People like beautiful individuals, and we even treat them better compared to others. When one is born to be beautiful, the benefits of it start immediately after birth. The child gets the compliment from others that she or he is beautiful. From there on, as the child goes to school, she or he perceives the feeling of being loved and liked by others. This can be seen by getting good grades, plus, able to get attention to his or her classmates and even teachers.

As the child becomes a young adult, she or he has higher self-esteem. This is because that young adult gets more attention and is regarded by others compared to the average looking peers. As a young girl, she gets popular in school and will have many lovers or suitors. When that beautiful person progresses to being an adult person, he or she gets more chances of having a good job.

compared to others who are low or average looking people. This is not a whole generalization, but this really exists in the real world of social interaction.

A person who is always regarded by such will most likely be smarter and more talented. They get positive outlooks in life, which is a good attitude to posses. But what if we are not blessed with beauty? Should we say that we are dumb? Absolutely, not!

We can be more attractive and beautiful if we smile. A genuine smile will find time, age, race, culture, religion and politics reachable. If one always smiles, the world will be filled with fun for him or her. Clothing has a big impact on how we perceived the person as beautiful. The clothes we were simple depicts respect.
