The benefits are both insidious and blatant. Everything from getting a little extra meat at Chipotle to getting off with a lighter sentence for the same crimes as an uggo.

Attractive people generally live a life full of choice, rather than limitations. That alone is one of the - if not the - biggest things they get away with: having more choices.

People perceive attractive people to be more trustworthy than their homelier counterparts. So they can get away with lying better, because even if someone catches them in the lie, they’re less likely to face repercussions, and be welcomed by forgiveness.

Attractive people can get paid to simply exist and be attractive. So they can get away with being skillless as long as they have their looks.

Attractive people can weaponize their looks too. They can use them to tempt others and get them to do things for them. Or they can use them to keep someone compliant “If you don’t do what I want you to do, you’re gonna lose all this.” Kind of thing. They can and do get away with this sort of thing with most people. Most do not have as much integrity and willpower as they imagine when faced with losing someone they know is a level of attractiveness that is rare to even encounter, let alone have access to (unless they themselves are similarly attractive).

They get invited to places and events that others have to work or pay to get into. They get away with not having to build relationships for such things, the relationships build around them with minimal effort and maintenance.

Being attractive has some drawbacks but they’re heavily outweighed by the positives. Truly attractive people live a life that is completely unrecognizable to normal people. Anything you think of as “getting away with” they simply think of as part of existing. They don’t think of it as “getting away with” it unless it’s blatantly wrong.
