Heck Karen, after listing all those qualities, you ARE the complete package

I am at one with my pudge too. So really, I’m a chubby girl with smart glasses and a good haircut, who watches ‘What Not To Wear’ and has actually managed to learn how to dress. I know people do want the whole package, but there just aren’t that many people who actually have it. The ones who do, who got the great genes, the education, the looks, the body…I’m a little jealous, but after 42 years in mine, I’ve realized that I’m happy, healthy, well loved by my husband and family, intelligent, well educated and great at whatever I want to do. Somehow it makes the chub seem unimportant, and while what you look like makes the first impression, what you ARE like makes the lasting one!

Hi fathersez,

Also very true… your confidence and the way you carry yourself.

But can one say that you acquire confidence and self esteem because of your looks?

To be sure, one can go overboard and self obsess to a point where it’s counteractive.

Seriously, we know all this and we can say looks matter but not to a huge extent. However, as the study shows, are we giving it lip service or subconsciously, we do discriminate? I mean, we want the total package, right?

Looks may help.

But, I think our level of self confidence and self esteem will help a lot more.

So if we know we are doing good, it will start to show in us…the inner glow so to speak.
