Ah, the age old "change your personality " meme. But is this meme accurate, or indeed, even possible? Let's find out!
I contend that your "personality " is judged by others largely through appearance based superficial factors, and is essentially assigned to you at birth based on the reaction of your parents and peers to your appearance. This stable personality is then maintained through to adult life REGARDLESS of the individuals actual objective personality traits. In other words, not only will you take on the personality you are "assigned" based on your appearance dictated social role, but even if you where to change your personality traits, nobody would attribute new traits to you because your face hasn't changed!
In support of this concept, let's start with a couple basic studies demonstrating the correlation between appearance and how people perceive personality. For many readers there will be nothing groundbreaking here; feel free to skip the "basic" material and move on to some of the more interesting material below.
The Halo Effect: what is it?
Is it real, and who does it affect? Well, pretty much everyone, including-
Judges in civil cases
Judges and juries in criminal cases
Another
"Masculinity" effects Supreme Court outcomes
Courtrooms are supposed to have some of the highest standards of objectivity in the world. If this is going on in court, imagine what's going on in day to day life, like-
Your wages- 12% lower for less attractive employees
Your grades - not only did more attractive students receive better grades, they also got better grades in the future, implying a correlation between validation and success
Who your friends are-attractive people gravitate to other attractive people even for platonic friendship
It's becoming very obvious how what your face looks like dictates "who you are" by all standard social metrics such as work, academic success, and the company you keep. But how does it dictate your actual personality?
Because other people's judgement of you becomes self fulfilling prophecy "I think the most plausible explanation is that the causal relation is reversed: Trustworthiness does not cause prominent cheekbones and high eyebrows. Rather, features indicating trustworthiness may well be shaping people’s personality in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. For example, a person who is born with prominent cheekbones and high eyebrows may be signaling trustworthiness from a young age. This, in turn, may lead us to treat the child as trustworthy. Other things being equal, this may encourage him or her to become trustworthy.
If indeed our facial and bodily features shape people's judgments of our personality, and their judgments alter our personality during childhood and adolescence, then personality is in fact much more fluent and changeable that it may at first seem, but in a rather negative way: Our biases can shape what kind of person a child grows up to be."
In other words, unless you are lucky or remarkably talented, if you are born with a loser face you will not only live a loser life, you will actually become a loser from being treated like one from birth!
Any "monsters" society sees on this website, they created, going all the way back to your parents!
Parents give attractive children more attention!
Mothers interact less with ugly babies, leading to cognitive impairment!
The unavoidable fact is that women damn men to lives of failure based on men's faces from the moment they are born! How could we possibly live up to their expectations when they made sure that it would be physically and mentally impossible? They saw an ugly baby come out of the womb, and gave it poor care and nutrition, poor academic opportunities, no chance at connections or a good career. It was over the moment a woman saw your face.
Remember- normie society are the fucking freaks, not you! You've never condemned a baby to a life sentence based on his face!
