Scientific literature indicates that people that are deemed "attractive" based on traditional standards of physical beauty have significant advantages in getting hired and gaining higher wages (Haermesh & Biddle).
Other studies indicate that people find handsome and beautiful people as being perceived as more trustworthy and likable (Etcoff), and feel more pleasant to be with (Aharon).
