RE: Lookism: Are You Pretty Enough for Success?
I find this article distasteful.
Attraction is wired into the lowest level of our brains. Trying to fight this will only cause schizoid behaviours to emerge.
What you are rallying against is sex appeal. And no matter how much you try to out think it. Your brain is hard wired to like what you like.
However, sex appeal, is not the end, it is the beginning. It is the reason you approach a person (at a bar, night club, or business social) once you meet the person you then form other perceptions that are based on higher reasoning.
So, I would recommend that all people back off this "lookism". You are trying to make people ashamed of being human. That is evil.
I do not understand your reaction, in this article, I did not call to anything except one thing -to be confident in yourself.
I described lookism like an absurd form of "discrimination" and stressed that it even could not be considered discrimination. Because the criteria for beauty are constantly changing, historically, culturally and especially depend on the individual views.
But none of us can get rid of the basic "settings" of the brain and control the subconscious, because of it we can see ridiculous prejudices and resentment of those who believe that they were discriminate.
You are right that the full relation to a person is formed over time, through communication. But this article discusses the causes of first and short-term rating.
