Saw this one on Reddit (don’t judge haha) and thought I would see what the collective of Lemmy thought!!

  • Attractive strangers ask you questions and smile at you. I did a lil “experiment” once in which I tallied/catalogued behavior/treatment towards me with vs without my glasses, unkempt vs styled hair, unflattering vs flattering outfits, etc, and discovered that I definitely experience pretty privilege

      That’s pretty cool that you decide to do this experiment.

      I assume subconsciously or biologically we’re predisposed to “attractive people”. Playing the part (looking spiffy vs not) would heighten the effect.

      Then again, I’m not that smart and just guessing 🙂
