To create is divine,
to reproduce human
--Man Ray
Researchers have found that
good looking students get higher grades
from their teachers than students with an ordinary appearance.
Furthermore, attractive patients receive more personalized care from their doctors.
Studies have even shown that handsome criminals receive lighter sentences than less attractive convicts. How much money a person earns may also be influenced by physical beauty. One study found that people low in physical attractiveness earn 5 to 10 percent less than ordinary looking people, who in turn earn 3 to 8 percent less than those who are considered good looking.
Inner beauty
is a concept used to describe the positive aspects of someone that are not physically observable.
While most species use physical traits and pheromones
to attract mates,
some humans claim to rely on the inner beauty of their choices.
Qualities including kindness, sensitivity,
tenderness or compassion, creativity and intelligence
have been said to be desirable since antiquity.
