I have to agree with a lot of what both of you said. Attractive people do have a lot going for them. But I wonder if, even if they had a bit of an easier time as they grew up, if they have a harder time as they grow older. Looks are something we're by and large born with. We can do things to enhance our looks, but we do change as we get older. Someone whose looks were super-important to them or played a large part in their success may struggle as they later gain weight after having children, get wrinkles/laugh lines around their eyes, and see more than a strand of gray creeping into their hair. Our society favors the young, the pretty and the thin, but I think it's just as hard sometimes to be the young-pretty-thin type if you don't have other things going for you as well. Especially when the young part starts fading a bit!
