Evaluation of article

I find this title quite substantial, the term of phrase is ethically correct through the conjunction of the psychological and physiological point of view. And should either stay the same or be changed to a more ethical text. Another title could be “whether physically attractive people hold all of the best traits” The description however is very good in describing the bias against people who look a certain way can now be judged in the society point of view in having the worst characteristics. This though can be incorrect and can have the opposite effect on the survey of people you a generalising. So in all I see this document as a good piece of descriptive psychological language and can be used but has many theoretical can ethic issues in correlations that need looking at before a distinctive answer is conveyed before a psychological board.

Whatever that nonsense was intended to mean, it's not relevant to this page, which is for discussing how to improve the article. -- Jibal (talk) 05:22, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And also in relation to good health?

I wonder if the physical attractiveness stereotype has been found to influence medical diagnoses, i.e. good lookers don't suffer (like the rest of us). Maradja 23:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, good looks are correlated with health and genetic fitness and intelligence. Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention the whole story because beautiful women are selected against by HR at companies based on the false belief that beauty if negatively correlated with intelligence (when the opposite is true).

Regarding the "beauty premium phenomenon" section

I think the "Beauty premium phenomenon" section is a disaster. It's written terribly and the information therein is presented terribly.--Ceraex (talk) 02:52, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article sources

It seems like a lot of the sources used in this article are primary sources and therefore not suitable. I am going to remove unsuitable sources and add more reputable ones--Magolaya (talk) 02:28, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
