People say "I never say looks don't matter, I say that looks Isn't how you are perceived its a big thing although other things matter a ton"
The problem is that the other parts are not universally applicable change from person to person culture to culture situation to situation so they are completely fucking useless since they cant be quantified or measured objectively in any way you can never derive a general law for all humans outside of maybe really basic shit like someone attacking a knife where most people will have a uniform response
We are looking for a universal factor that we can analyze and test that affects all humans collectively so we can come up with universal laws that can explain human behavior and reactions to eachother looks do this wayyyyy better than any personality construct actually we can explain someones current personality based on looks JFL
For example a short man is more likely to experience insecurity due to his height he will have an insecure personality type and thus we can accurately assess his behavior detect how he copes with it etc however we gain nothing by looking at this insecurity in isolation
The question I ask is very simple we want a valid measurable factor to explain human behavior that is relevant cross culturally in any situation it needs to be testable in a valid experiment with an independent a dependent and a control variable looks is empirically variable and scientific personality traits are entirely conceptual and subjective between cultures and completely useless
