Studies show that looks make a difference, so is it so strange why people want to look attractive? Biases with beauty can be exhibited in classrooms, the workplace, and nearly all social situations. But do “beautiful people” look in the mirror the same way everybody else does? Why not?! The same pressures of the media and its near impossible standards of beauty sit on the shoulders of everyone that is insecure about their looks. A study shows that for attractive people it might even be more so. Attractive people often have low self-esteem because they disbelieve the praise of their work efforts to be from their skills and solely from their beauty.
