Read More »Until very recently, according to the psychological research, whether being pretty predisposes you to misery or feeling marvellous remained an open question. But now researchers from Aarhus University, Denmark, Harvard Medical School, U.S., University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and The Danish National Centre for Social Research, used a long-term study of a broadly representative sample of over 10,000 American men and women who graduated from high-school in 1957, to establish the truth of the matter. The researchers, Nabanita Datta Gupta, Nancy Etcoff, and Mads Jaeger found subjective well-being, or happiness, was associated with more physical attractiveness. A key difference between this research, just published, compared with the older fashion model study is that the more recent investigation focused on ‘ordinary’ beauty in the general population, as opposed to ‘ultra’ cuteness found in models. How physically good looking you were found to be from your graduation high-school yearbook photograph in 1957, predicted your psychological well-being well into the 1990s and even as late as 2004, in this large study investigating 4416 women and 4018 men. Entitled, ‘Beauty in Mind: The Effects of Physical Attractiveness on Psychological Well-Being and Distress’, the study focused on feelings of self-confidence, positive self-regard and agency. The results were consistent with previous studies that found striking people to be more socially at ease, more assertive, and more likely to think they are in control of their own lives. In the job market, where a so-called beauty ‘premium’ operates, explaining why the handsome tend to get promoted and earn more, one study estimated that increased confidence alone accounted for up to 20 % of this ‘beauty premium’. The authors of this new study point out that it’s also possible that happier people tend to look after their appearance more and it’s being well-groomed secondary to higher self-esteem, which explains the link between being more physically attractive and better well-being. Maybe it’s not being better looking which makes you happier but the other way around—being more content ensures you look after your looks, and act more confidently, ensuring you are perceived as more physically attractive. Another way of thinking about this is that when we get depressed or low we tend to neglect our appearance, we slouch and radiate low confidence. It’s not that looking dishevelled is making us miserable, it’s more that becoming unhappy tends to contribute to personal appearance neglect.
The short answer is yes. Twin flames definitely have the ability to feel each other's emotions, as well as their physical pain. However, this is...

But they also acknowledge that it’s still not known how much of the effects of attractiveness are down to those aspects of physical appearance we can do something about (like getting a haircut and applying make-up), or how much is down to secondary effects of being pretty, such as becoming more assertive and self-confident. It might be you could compensate for not being born beautiful by being just as poised and self-assured, obtaining the same positive social effects. The authors point to a study where men spoke with women on the telephone who remained out of sight but whom they were manipulated by the experimenter into believing were physically attractive or unattractive (always the same individual, but the men were deceived by being given photographs of either attractive or unattractive individuals). Women who were perceived (unknown to them) to be physically attractive were warmer, more sociable and outgoing than were those perceived to be unattractive. Interestingly the men became more outgoing, humorous, confident, and socially adept when they thought they were interacting with the ‘‘attractive women’’. It might be that being better looking is not what determines the way the world reacts to us – more it’s consequences of being attractive that are crucial – more self-confidence and therefore greater warmth produces better interactions.
