Brutal [STUDY] High school facial attractiveness predicts life earnings well into the 30s and 50s

[Gymcelled]

https://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~scholz/Research/Beauty.pdf

We use unique data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study to document an economically and statistically significant positive correlation between the facial attractiveness of men in their senior year in high school and their labor market earnings when they are in their mid-30s and early-50s. There does not appear to be any link between facial attractiveness and direct measures of cognitive skills, such as IQ or high school class rank, or between facial attractiveness and measures of health, including mortality and self-reported health status. While attractiveness is positively related to participation in high school sports and other activities, these experiences do not affect the size of the attractiveness premium in earnings. Attractiveness is also strongly, significantly correlated with proxy measures of confidence and two of the “big five” personality traits: extroversion and the absence of neuroticism. But even after including a lengthy set of characteristics, including IQ, high school experiences, proxy measures for confidence and personality, and family background and additional respondent characteristics in an empirical model of earnings, the attractiveness premium is present in the respondents’ early-50s. Our findings are consistent with attractiveness being an enduringly valuable labor market characteristic.

We conclude that attractiveness appears to be an intrinsically productive attribute in the workforce, distinct from skills acquired in high school, personality traits, and cognitive ability. Consistent with this interpretation, the premium for facial attractiveness does not diminish significantly with tenure on the job. If beauty were simply a noisy signal of unobservable productive characteristics, the correlation between facial attractiveness and earnings should diminish with job tenure

Some other interesting paragraphs referencing other studies

The most detailed inquiry into the source of the beauty premium comes from Mobius and Rosenblat (2006), who find a sizeable beauty premium in an experimental labor market. In their experiment, the “visual interaction channel,” where attractive people are perceived as being more productive, and an “oral interaction channel,” where attractive people receive a wage premium based solely on an anonymous telephone interview, each account for 40 percent of the pay differential. The remaining 20 percent is attributed to higher confidence of attractive people: the attractive simply believe they are more productive than others even when, as a group, they are not.

The visual interaction channel described by Mobius and Rosenblat is consistent with Jackson et al. (1995) and many other studies in psychology that suggest attractive people will be viewed as being more competent than those with average looks. Moreover, this effect will be stronger when a direct measure of competence is absent than when it is present.

What is striking about the Mobius and Rosenblat results is that attractive people were no more productive than others – the task being compensated was solving a maze – but beauty was rewarded by 12 to 17 percent higher compensation for a one-standard deviation increase in attractiveness. Thus, Mobius and Rosenblat point to statistical discrimination that is unrelated to true productivity to explain the attractiveness premium

Kinda weird then that the most rich man in the world is not chad. Though there are exceptions to EVERY rule i suppose

I think that beyond a certain point Chads lose an interest in money. I remember once hearing in a podcast or a video that studies show that somewhere around 6 to 7 figures earning is where money stops making people happier. I'm assuming that at that point most attractive people would start focusing on other things

I can't imagine a chad workceling and obsessing like Bezos or Bill Gates

People generally negates or underestimate the power of looks halo, especially in males.

That makes sense. at the 6-7 figure range anyone can live comfortably. Anything above that is probably cope for non attractive people to overcompensate for being ugly.

What i can't wrap my head around is that there are pictures of successful plastic surgery and hair transfers, yet most rich men (who have the time and money to change their appearence) choose to stay ugly.

They are getting more money from employers but they don't have the brain capacity to make their own fortune, actors and singers do make millions of looks.

Interestingly I've seen several studies which say that looks failo is stronger than looks halo. It's beyond over

Yeah if people can pay their bills, have a nice place to live and afford some copes/vacations and what not I think they mostly stop caring.

I think those billionaires are too obsessed or too disillusioned with their money. Their life is too consumed by this and they think they're kings for being this wealthy (and famous).

Most of them probably believe that looks only matters for woman and not for men

this isn't really news, everyone in psychology knows that interviews and stuff are heavily skewed towards good looking people rather than qualifications

Kinda weird then that the most rich man in the world is not chad. Though there are exceptions to EVERY rule i suppose

he didn't get his money from getting job interviews or promotions or from his salary, so this isn't really relevant, success of people like bezos and bill gates are like 1% intelligence and 99% luck

 

[Gymcelled]

Well the interesting part is that these advantages can already be predicted as soon as high school and are active for decades. Which obviously makes sense because attractive people don't lose their looks until they age badly or get into an accident that disfigures them.

It really destroys the whole bluepilled narrative of high school and looks don't matter. Your high school experience predicts so much about your life smh

This is why I became a public servant. To get my job I only had to pass some exams and there was no interview or other tests made to rule out ugly people.

I knew that trying to make a living in the private sector would be hell on earth for an incel like me. Thankfully I was blackpilled early in life.

Exactly, they get too busy fucking, partying, doing drugs and all sorts of fun shit to get even richer than they are. They don't have to bother, their life is already at peak greatness even if it's not with maximum richness.

Your looks literally shape your personality. Meanwhile what normies believe:

I remember jordan peterson (aka jewden peterstein) saying that most women quit their job or stop trying to advance their careers in their 30s because they don't see the point of working more only to earn more and have more responsibility. Most people just want to be comfortable in life.
Though obviously women aren't a great example since they can get a betabuxxer or sell their body, something men can't.

I guess they're very good copers and since they're mostly old they also believe in the money myth so why bother with face and muh money and muh status do the job?

have you watched albert pak's blackpill series? There's this video where he talks about money and how he meet a bunch of rich old dudes and they were all bluepilled af

They can afford the greatest copes and pleasures of life.
In terms of sex and intimacy they can afford top tier escorts or they can just betabuxx a wife.

And to be this rich they probably have to be obsessed with their finance so they don't have the time for introspection and thus the blackpill.

I don't see it as an exception, if I understand the study correctly. The study looked at "labor market earnings" which basically means "salary."

I don't think they're looking at business owners. They're looking at employees.

fuarkkkkkk, that says a lot about my future then

Ive seen multiple people here posting theyve got it as a present somewhen by their mother or aunt, etc.

She probably saw it at the bookstore in the teens section and wanted to teach me some morale bs.

Im from germany btw.
