CMV: People broadly agree on who is good looking or not, and it affects every aspect of life

This is my personal view and I think it’s backed up by a lot of personal experience, but I realize that anecdotes are not reliable evidence so I found some actual scientific data. In the review article I have linked below, researchers establish with 11 meta-analyses that contrary to what people might claim:

&gt; Raters agree about who is and is not attractive, both within and across cultures.

&gt; There seem to be universal standards by which facial attractiveness is judged.

&gt; Attractiveness is as important for males as for females in judging people we know.

&gt; Attractiveness is as important, if not more so, for children than for adults.

&gt; Attractive children and adults are judged more positively than unattractive children and adults, even by those who know them.

&gt; Attractive children and adults are treated more positively than unattractive children and adults, even by those who know them.

&gt; Attractive children and adults exhibit more positive behaviors and traits than unattractive children and adults.

&gt; Attractive people may exhibit more positive behaviors because attractive and unattractive people are treated differently, so they learn to behave differently.


Discussion:

According to this data, the positive or negative impacts of one's attractiveness can be universally appreciated and resonate through an entire lifetime.

Quotes:

&gt; Common maxims about beauty suggest that attractiveness is not important in life.

&gt; In contrast, both fitness-related evolutionary theory and socialization theory suggest that attractiveness influences development and interaction.

&gt; For cross-ethnic agreement the average reliability was r = .88, cross cultural agreement was even higher, r = .94 ... these results indicate that beauty is not simply in the eye of the beholder.

&gt; In 11 meta-analyses, the authors evaluate these contradictory claims, demonstrating that (a) raters agree about who is and is not attractive, both within and across cultures; (b) attractive children and adults are judged more positively than unattractive children and adults, even by those who know them; (c) attractive children and adults are treated more positively than unattractive children and adults, even by those who know them; and (d) attractive children and adults exhibit more positive behaviors and traits than unattractive children and adults.

&gt; These findings are powerful evidence that, contrary to popular belief, attractiveness effects extend beyond the mere "opinions" about others and permeate actual actions towards others, even though people may not be aware of it.

&gt; Results are used to evaluate social and fitness-related evolutionary theories and the veracity of maxims about beauty.

Why I want to have my view changed:

I think it’s depressing that my personality and character are less important than what I look like physically

I really am not sure what you need to have refuted. Your information is correct and we have long known that more attractive people are treated better than unattractive people. Are you arguing that this is not how things should be? The Earth's orbit makes it seem like the sun rises in east...and attractive people are treated better than others. 

Please elaborate on what would change your opinion, or what aspect of your opinion needs changing.
