How much would you spend..

[NT!]

it's not just appearance. men who age well become wiser, more patient, less insecure, more perceptive, etc. if you think it's just money you're kidding yourself.

$20k. I'm not really unhappy with how I look but 3 full points would significantly improve my quality of life (I think).

A few weeks ago I was talking to friends about this same question, but I posed it as "how much money would you spend to become the most attractive man on the planet?" (of course no one person could be that but just assume you would become a physically perfect specimen, Brad Pitt, Antonious, etc.)

My answer would probably be all my money.

I agree, but I'm pretty sure Henry was talking about strictly the physical characteristics of aging. I don't think Henry wants to keep from becoming wiser, patient, secure, or perceptive.

I'm not just talking about picking up chicks, although there is that. I'm talking about getting jobs, promotions, and overall earning power. I'm talking about the advantages that come with people basically liking you right off the bat.

This is spot on. Pretty much every study ever on the subject says that attractive people are treated better in basically every situation in life.

On a serious note,

Nasescobar nailed it. If you feel confident in your appearance everything else follows. Looks or at least appearance show the level of pride someone has in themselves, without getting too narcissistic. Obesity, apart from the very few genetic/ilness related cases just shows laziness. Diet also affects looks etc. So basically how you look sends out a message to everyone about soem of your personality traits. Confident people are normally extroverted, and hence more people will listen to what they say, thus meaning they progress quicker than the "cleverer ugly person".

That people keep coming back to the game > looks argument is significant.

I don't believe that the people making this argument don't realize it is a nonsensical argument.

Game 9 Looks 7 vs Game 9 Looks 10. Obviously the second choice is better off.

I'm still trying to figure out the motivation for the attempted diversion by presenting a clearly fallacious argument.

Sigh, my looks prob a 6/10 - game 4/10 - and poker 3/10
