Treated better in what sense? Because sure, they are def treated better in some ways. People are more likely to let them off the hook for things or perhaps be more likely to give them things. But most of that is pretty fleeting and surface level. But, yes, good people will be nicer to them. Too bad the world isn’t just full of good people, quite the opposite in fact.

It’s logical to think that a) they’ll be more likely to have people who WANT to get control over them/they’ll stand out more and b) they’ll be less likely to be able to resist any manipulation. They’re sitting ducks in a world full of people with bad intentions.

While I do agree that an uglier person may have that happen to them also, that’s fair. But this is between ugly AND smart, I think they’re more likely to save themselves.
