I mean there's definitely some disadvantages to being super hot as well.

For example, if you're really hot, because finding men is so easy for you, you might get into relationships even if you're not mature enough to handle them. You also might get married and have kids at a young age, even though you're not really in a position to handle the responsibilities, which can result in a toxic marriage and a nasty divorce.

Some really attractive people, because of their looks, allows them to get in with the popular crowd at school who might do drugs and alcohol. So as a result, they get addicted to these substances. Where's had these people grown up ugly, nerdy, and/or plain, they would have never got in with the popular crowd, hence less of an opportunity to get hooked on stuff.

I'm afraid there is substantial evidence indicating that good-looking people have an easier time in society. Beautiful people are happier, more successful, wealthier, healthier, and more intelligent. Just google it.

They even have stronger immune systems.

I thought you were saying this is WAI's prize. ^

as i expected, i tested a 5.9 when young, a 5.4 about 10 years ago, and a 5.0 at present. youth is wasted on the young.

Screw this Social Darwinist crap.

I’ve known many stupid gorgeous people in my time. And some who die young.

I'm an 8. What do I win?

If you're a legitimate 8, you will definitely win in some aspects of life and have some advantages that other people don't necessarily have.

Dating will definitely be easier and you'll find that you can attract men fairly easily, even if your personality or lifestyle is not that good. Finding boyfriends will be easy. In fact, some really attractive women have guys on social media offer to fly them out to their location to spend time together, with some of these guys being successful.

Also if you're a legitimate 8, you could do hot girl jobs and sometimes even make bank from doing them. You could make an OnlyFans and some girls make A LOT of money doing that.

It's easier to get followers on social media if you're really hot.

It certainly comes with difficulties, too. It can be difficult to ascertain if people actually like you for who you are or if they just want to get in your pants.

I don’t think it’s any easier to find a worthwhile relationship. It could be even harder, I think.

I was a reasonably attractive person at one point, and I really struggled with this. Finding a decent boyfriend was not “easy” for me, especially since I was shy. Hearing catcalls and experiencing things like that made me very anxious, too.

Might be social darwinist crap, but it's kind of interesting at the same time.

Wifi's score:

Cheating with a photo somewhat from the side

Face from front

People with good looks might have some head starts in life, but a lot of really bad stuff comes with it as well. Such as being targeted by rapists and harassed by creeps on the daily commute, as well as strangers forcing themselves onto you when your friends aren't around.

Yeah, that's been my experience. Even at 43.

^^ Mine too.

Experiencing that stuff can make it harder for people to feel comfortable dating.

I think that dating and love are too complex to say that specific groups have it easier for superficial reasons.

I'm glad I live in Poland.
What you describe has never been my experience, despite a lot of walking strange places at strange times.

Apparently, there is something to rankings like this one:

Wow! I'm aware Japan is safe, but didn't know Poland is too.

Egypt shouldn't be in the top ten.

I don't know what you do on your daily commute, Pepe, but don't disappoint me. :skull:

EDIT: As far as Japan goes, I'm pretty sure it's safe for women visiting Japan (=tourists). It's a whole different story for people living here. Women who make it public that they've been raped are mostly shunned by other women, it's seen as "the victim's fault". Same with men and infidelity.
