Ok, so a person has confidence, what does that help them in? Simple, confidence persuades. I was watching a video and I was amazed at how easily the con artists were able to effectively rob that Jeweler so easily. This robbery was a carefully planned manipulation of our innate ability to let the appearance of confidence and having skills (or in this case wealth) let us lower our guard. We found out clearly that the actors were not who they said they were. Just like in real life, the more attractive person isn’t always the best candidate for a job. However, because of their confidence, we are easily persuaded and let them convince us otherwise.
I understand that oftentimes the fair opportunity isn’t even given to the less attractive person. This is because of stereotypes that have developed for the more attractive people. These stereotypes have developed because of past experiences and background information. The media is constantly probing the attractive, successful people of our modern era. When we are shown these images, our mind subconsciously thinks that if we see a person that closely resembles the attractive traits that we see on T.V., then that person automatically has to be successful and have a lot to offer.
When we develop these stereotypes about attractive people, we have already given them a lead in life. And thus the process starts over. These stereotypes lead to the attractive person becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy because of the labels attached to that person, and this leads to the development of leadership and communication skills as well as a boost in confidence. This process is repeated over and over again and the constant struggle for the less attractive individuals becomes even more daunting.
But there is hope.
