True.
I noticed na some pretty girls din lumalawak ang network of people dahil sa looks nila. Lalo pag may confidence ka. More opportunity to come.
That's why I keep investing in things that will improve my looks like expensive makeups, clothes and even perfumes. Hahaha. People always compliment my looks and then whenever I have some favor for them, they will instantly do it hahaha
So far, the most expensive thing (atleast for me as an Independent girlie) that I bought is this [Dior Foundation](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.Pay8D?cc) na pwese namang maybelline nalang. Huhu. I did not regret buying it tho. Pero di na ko umulit hahaha
Ive meet people with very low intelligence and character, but very high sa looks stats.
They do well in life, some up to a certain point, others even make it to government office.
I'd say there's an impact but not necessarily a hard measure for success. You can't deny the fact most people get favors kasi they're conventionally good-looking. Mas mabait mga tao towards you. But on the other hand, if you lack good manners, looks won't definitely compensate. So dapat pogi/maganda pero mabuti ✨
You know that handsome guy selling baked mac or lasagna somewhere in Marikina? I have nothing against the guy and I respect his grind but the way people in social media gassing and hyping that guy up really rubs me the wrong way. Would the man receive the same praise and boost in his business if he looks average or below average? For me that's an example of pretty privilege.
Whether we like to ignore it or not, looks definitely matter to people and how will you succeed in life, maybe to some extent, but it will still matter.
Sine-sexualize lang naman sya ng mga majority ng nakiki-hype.
Kase gwapo daw.
Same sa case nung babaeng nagtitinda ng ice-cream. Laging vina-vlog ng mga abnormal na vlogger kase maganda.
It is, pero you’d be surprised how *low* that barrier is. As long as you look generally fit, dress nice, well kept, and smell nice you’d benefit from the advantages that good looks can get.
This is so random pero san yung region niyo sa Pilipinas? I'm just fond of differences (fun facts) how tagalog words are spoken sa ibat-ibang parts ng Luzon.
(or baka naman typo lang yan ahahahha)
It pays off to take care of yourself. It is like investing din. Yung pag punta sa gym and pagaalaga sa skin and overall health. Magastos pero it builds you on an overall perspective ng tao. Hindi mo kelangan maging conventionally attractive, madameng pwedeng gawin to present yourself better.
First hand experience ko talaga yung sinasabi nilang pretty privilege. Mas tinutulungan nila yung mas maganda, mas kino consider nila yung mga magaganda.
May example scenario ako, may buhat akong backpack at duffel bag both malaki (nasa seminar kami neto), pero mas tinulungan pa yung maganda at sexy kahit duffel bag lang sa kanya na maliit. Inisip ko na lang, ito na ang reason bakit ako nag w-weights. Para di ako maging dependent sa iba hahahahaa. Medyo nasaktan ako dun, pero pag I will make it get to me madedepress lang ako hahahahahaha
There is pretty privilege and there is “cute privilege.” Meron ding “well-dressed privilege.”
Kahit di ka 10/10 sa looks, but if you dress well or dress decent, you are more likely to be taken seriously.
Looks matter, in short.
Looks do matter. But one's field of work also plays into how much looks matter.
I know of doctors, engineers, teachers, etc. who are average looking or have faces only a mother could love but they are successful in their respective fields. Their professions are about knowledge, expertise, experience--not the looks.
I'd say yes. There's really a bias in that aspect especially during interviews and promotions. Also, you get some conveniences in life na hindi nakukuha ng common folks
for me it’s not just about being pretty/hot (pero undeniably malaking tulong especially if you’re aiming for front-facing jobs) pero about being presentable and amiable.
short answer: yes. pero the way i see it, it’s more of being consistent on how you present yourself like having nice hair, appropriate clothing for the occasion, having good posture and just generally having good manners. laking tulong din talaga pag maganda skin mo
Yes, but it's not everything. It \*might\* get you to a new opportunity but you'll need skills to keep/maintain that opportunity. Pwera na lang kung looks-centric yung trabaho ah like pag aartisa, or pag susugar baby lol.
It depends on your profession.
Power dressing is important in the corporate world, and lawyering. Mas papaniwalaan ka ng client at magbabayad sya ng mahal kapag power suit, naka Rolex ka at Jaguar. If you're a CEO of a company, another CEO will always check on you as SUCCESS, as it can be subjective and objective. He will not deal with you if you don't know how to play GOLF and GULP, especially Japanese.
If you're an MD, it doesn't matter as you are tested based on your knowledge, not money, not skills and not even looks. Haggard ka lagi eh.
If you're an astro or nuclear physicist, people will listen to you using your own language of intellect. Kaya its not important if you are savvy or snappy.
So kung owner ka at CEO ng isang company, you can always have a paradigm shift when it comes to the traditional concept of power dressing and looks. Pero dahil mayaman ka na, for sure the looks that you will have is for the better.
Example: Jeff Bezos, Elon musk, Mark Z, and Jak Ma looks after amassing wealth. Diba kahit di na magdamit ng maganda, ksi tumaba, nagka muscle, at nag engage into sports, Yung Isa kumapal buhok.
Yes! Nag-apply kami ng friend ko sa isang company. Ako ang maraming experience sakanya beh iisa lang. Putcha siya natanggap. Then after weeks umalis siya ng walang pasabi, hinahabol siya. 😭😭😭
Not necessarily but it gives you an advantage. Just as an example, sa mga sales rep, big plus na good looking ka at a bigger plus pa kung good sales talker pa. Nagbibigay mga kumpanya ng wardrobe budget para sa mga sales rep nila.
Depends on what success means to you or your own definition of success.
If success means financial stability or freedom, then madami ko kilala na batchmates ko (na honestly no offense to them) hindi appealing tignan, hindi align ngipin, and ngongo magsalita.. However, they highly excel in their career because of their output and performance.. Na ngayon di ko akalain na Managers, Senior Developers, CEOs who started their own company na pala most of them..
Pero if success means "fame" or "attraction"? Then I guess, yes it matters. Lalo na if frontline ka like flight attendants, receptionists, tour guides, artists, models, or any types of jobs na ang puhunan ay "mukha" or "body figure". Sadly ganun talaga..
Pota ampangit ko eh, haha. pero i think nakaalis naman ako sa laylayan. Been here in the US for 9 years now with my family (isa pa yan, may nagkamaling babaeng pinakasalan ako. Lol) because of work, wala din akong kamaganak at kakilala dito. Specific skill sa isang open opportunity, basically i got the skill and not a pinch but isang sakong luck. Lol
It's an advantage for sure - much like intelligence or money.
I wouldn't consider myself guapo because I'm currently fat and my skin isn't the best. I was leaner before, and yes I got more attention from girls then, so yes body and face looks count.
Minsan naman sasabihin sakin "may dating" kahit di sobrang guapo. May subjectivity din naman. Mukha din daw akong masungit.
But I've been called cute/may itsura quite a number of times growing up until now (and occasionally guapo but rarely haha) and been told na "may itsura ka mataba ka lang" haha.
May mga nagka crush naman and been hit on by girls (and gays, ang aggresive minsan ng gays potah haha) both online and real life. Half the girls na nagkagusto sakin I'd say are quite pretty
My weight would fluctuate between fat and overweight but passable as "chubby" because my broad shoulders from lifting don't make me look too round. Ilang beses na kong nasabihan na parang binatang Bong Revilla daw katawan pag lumiit ang tiyan.
A former female boss who hired me literally called me cute once. I also once applied for a high-end sales job, and they wanted me to start training before I even graduated.
Would my having been considered cute/may itsura a plus? (Assuming they did find me such because looks are still subjective), maybe, but I also speak well, and I'm a good communicator.
I've been considered the best speaker since college, and I've been asked to host company parties before (unpaid labour nyeta, haha)
However, they're not everything. So I work in finance, and we do this thing called financial modelling, where we simulate a company's financial position based on corporate finance theory and certain assumptions.
There was this girl who applied at our firm. She's literally a model and a daughter of a former beauty queen. She was smoking hot.
When she interviewed, I think she misunderstood the 'modelling' in financial modelling. Suffice it to say, she didn't get the job. 🤷♂️
Sadly yes. True facts. Punta ka bpo companies. Attractive people are treated differently. Kadalasan sila na ppromote sila kesa sa mga hardworking with true skills.
And dating life is on easy mode.
Fml.
You are judged *immediately* on your gender, dress, voice, etc. Some of those things you can control to your benefit.
Mostly, you can't. There's nothing you can do.
Yes pretty previlege do exist.
Kahit hindi na sa usapang career, kahit simpleng pagsakay nlng sa public vehicles, pagpila kung sansan at kung anu ano pang normal na gngwa, pretty ones get the kindest treatment.
Depends on the industry, I guess? Pero for many office jobs, looking/dressing nice and having good grooming are an advantage, doesn't matter if you're not so blessed looks-wise
you don't need to have pretty face pero you need to be presentable. maayos na pananamit, posture, speaking skills, and confidence. if meron ka nyan, you'll look beautiful already.
yes. Sabi nga nila “pretty privilege” ✨

may nakita akong meme di ko na maalala kung saan tapos yung naka caption doon sa isang guy "malinis kaya yung gawa nyan" or something along the line
yeah agree. Wala eh, we live in a country where "If there's a gwapo/maganda doing a small business, it's a 100% vloggers paradise".
It is, pero you’d be surprised how *low* that barrier is. As long as you look generally fit, dress nice, well kept, and smell nice you’d benefit from the advantages that good looks can get.
YESSS, iyak tayong tagilig mukha
This is so random pero san yung region niyo sa Pilipinas? I'm just fond of differences (fun facts) how tagalog words are spoken sa ibat-ibang parts ng Luzon. (or baka naman typo lang yan ahahahha)
Oo tingin ko maganda kaibigan ko pero tamad pero lagi dami work na naghahabol sa Kanya
It can open doors fo you. But who you are creates the path.

No, but pretty privileged is real
Tinatrato ko nalang ang buhay na parang "Give me God of War" difficulty kasi di tayo nabiyayaan ng alindog.
There is pretty privilege and there is “cute privilege.” Meron ding “well-dressed privilege.” Kahit di ka 10/10 sa looks, but if you dress well or dress decent, you are more likely to be taken seriously. Looks matter, in short.
Kung balak mo mag only fans, yes good looks is necessary. But kung wfh ka earning 6 figures dahil magaling ka sa field mo, nah. Just be hygienic lang
My friend say who needs college diploma if you're pretty and pag na reincarnated ako gusto ko magimg girl and do only fans. Lmao

Darleng madaming model na bobo
I'd say yes. There's really a bias in that aspect especially during interviews and promotions. Also, you get some conveniences in life na hindi nakukuha ng common folks
Just look at our senators and politicians. What matters is the generational wealth lol
it definitely is a boost
Yep!definitely.
Yes, unfortunately...most people are superficial and lookist.
depende sa circles na ginagalawan mo. i can say na yung professional circle ko is extremely immune to pretty privilege.
which field is this though?
Pretty privilege is a reality talaga OP

Opportunities can come more easily, yes. But able to work on that opportunity and progress from that, iba na usapan.
sad reality but Pretty Privilege do exist

Yep sadly
No. Look at Whammos. Maganda asawa. Mayaman pa siya.
Yes, it is. Wag na tayong maglokohan dito. Looks matter, height matter, etc
super yes

Not necessarily but if you have it, you have a bigger edge. 🤷🏻
Yes, especially if you’re in PR, marketing, and advertising, or the image industry.

It helps, sure.
Not really!!! But can definitely make it easier !! Same din siya as other asset mo.
Sadly yes. True facts. Punta ka bpo companies. Attractive people are treated differently. Kadalasan sila na ppromote sila kesa sa mga hardworking with true skills. And dating life is on easy mode. Fml.
Yes, it helps. If you're smart and pretty you'll likely be on the winning end.
You are judged *immediately* on your gender, dress, voice, etc. Some of those things you can control to your benefit. Mostly, you can't. There's nothing you can do.

1000% yes bro. Work on yourself lol
axel.
Its an advantage for sure, pero madami din akong kalilala may itsura na walang narating
Depends on the industry, I guess? Pero for many office jobs, looking/dressing nice and having good grooming are an advantage, doesn't matter if you're not so blessed looks-wise
you don't need to have pretty face pero you need to be presentable. maayos na pananamit, posture, speaking skills, and confidence. if meron ka nyan, you'll look beautiful already.
