Importance of Being Attractive in Society Today
	Being attractive is a very important part of public appearance, likability, confidence and social life. Confidence is not just an internal feeling of self worth or manifestation of ego, it is a part of each and every person and is almost visible to those around them. The way people walk, talk and interact can all show somebody’s confidence and those with higher confidence are perceived as more capable and as a better leader. These perceptions can lead to an advantage over others in the job hunt, it can lead to promotions or even relationships. For those who are not happy with their own appearance, it is nearly impossible to match the confidence of somebody that is. When children are told that everyone is beautiful it can make those who feel unhappy with their looks feel isolated and alone. This alienation of the ugly can lead to depression, low self esteem and low confidence, even if nobody calls them ugly directly. Instead of sugar-coating being ugly to children, we should talk “to them candidly about living with flawed features in a world of facial inequality”(Baird Para. 3). Educating children on appearance discrepancies is the only way to prevent “ugly” people from feeling alienated from the rest of society. Appearance also plays a role in the social life of children and adults. How often do you see a model in the same friend group as an “ugly” person? The appearance discrepancy in many groups tends to be very low and those on the opposite times of the “good looks” spectrum don’t tend to spend time together. The reason for this trend is that when somebody “ugly” is with people that are “beautiful” it makes them feel alienated from their own friends. Once again being unaware that “appearance [...] means something but it doesn’t mean everything”(Baird Para. 4).
