I wonder: are beautiful ladies and handsome men more or less trustworthy than the rest of us?
My reasoning on the question is all over the place. I don't know what to think. For a start, I know beauty is subjective, and in the eye of the beholder, but I'm talking about that classically beautiful look, as in ...good cheek bones, angled jawline, non-beady eyes. Y'know. Just beautiful, like Amber Heard, or Taylor Swift, or Gal Godot. I can't really speculate on what 'handsome' is in a man. Nigel Havers? Peter Crouch?
I know, probably, the correct answer is, 'Just take it on a person-by-person case' - but are you sure we can't take a general overview? What's the case on balance? It somehow amazes me that all beautiful women aren't evil ..and yet, in my personal experience, they're not. With my general dim view of humanity, I should be able to say, 'Well, they're beautiful, so obviously they can get whatever they want without making any concessions, and they don't understand give-and-take'...
And yet... the one or two strikingly beautiful women I've known have all been cool, and empathetic. How can that be? Is it just the case that if you're beautiful, you've got less to worry about in life, and you build up a stronger personality that way? Or do beautiful people automatically get beautiful personalities to match? And if that's the case, doesn't it make a shambles of 'It's what's on the inside that counts?'
Eh?
