Are beautiful people more selfish than the others?

There is a point here, plain people have insecurities and they compensate for it by building an ego. Sometimes they too can be really full of themselves. Cup kitties, i thought you were Asian on first glance, haha.

Exactly right, Nurse I hadn't thought of it that way actually. And no, I am a mutt but not of the Asian variety as far as I'm aware.

Its true that beautiful people are conscious of their appearance & because of thinking about themselves they’re considered selfish but its a bigger truth that those not so beautiful people are much more conscious of their appearance than the beautiful ones. They always keep trying to look beautiful. So they also can be considered selfish. So what I'm trying to say is that anybody could be selfish. It doesn't depend on the looks but on the deeds.

Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And people are selfish to some degree. All of us are only human with drawbacks.

That's right, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, some people look beautiful to others while others not and vice versa. So technically, everyone is beautiful in their own way. That makes people selfish too in their own way,

Anybody could be a selfish person.It doesnt have any relation with beauty & beauty too cant be measured by external appearance .Its measured by how beautiful you are from inside,how true & honest you are.

How can we judge someone as vain online, I wonder? Is it because they use too many I's in their sentance or put up pictures of themselves, or talk about themselves or because they just put effort in to displaying themselves? Seriously, asking the question because I am not sure. It could mean that they are merely sharing? On the other hand an attitude of of me me me can come across too if it is indeed there. I'm just wondering how we can tell with online things. If we met the person face to face it would be easier.

A lot of beautiful people are vain as observed through Instagram and Facebook. But not all of them and i think it is unfair to judge attractive people as selfish. Not everyone who is attractive is selfish and vain.

Yeah not all of them are selfish or vain & yes its difficult to say who is selfish online by just seeing someone's pics & statuses.It would be easy if we meet with someone face to face.

I think that selfishness of that sort is a virtue...at least he or she is not devoting time destroying others, feeling jealous of others, etc., right? :) And by this logic, all people who do charitable works are ugly. We know that Lady Di was not, and nor was Mother Theresa, and many many others. In fact, most people in such charities are beautiful people because ...PEOPLE LISTEN TO THEM AND ARE GLAD TO SHAKE HANDS WITH THEM AND GET THEIR ATTENTION AND MOST OF THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT IS THEIR PHYSICAL BEAUTY THAT GETS THEM THAT ATTENTION. Lady Di spent a lot on her clothes...but when her clothes were auctioned in charities, they fetched much more. Tell me about who is selfish and why selfishness of this sort should not be termed as a virtue. If the same amount was spent by an ugly woman on her attire, there might have been no takers! So...by that logic an ugly woman would be more selfish if she spends on herself, isn't it? lol We each have our attributes. There is no harm in focusing on them. And if we can do some good at any time in our lives, that is ok...if we cant, that is also ok. Much depends upon personal level of comfort in doing charity. If I like to eat an ice cream a day, others cant say dont eat ...do charity, especially if they are spending much more on car fuel for visiting others or on clothes to attend functions. I plan my budget as per my desires and they as per theirs. Likewise, we should not force others to do charity or be "less selfish" unless they feel like being so. Anything should be done whole heartedly. By calling them selfish, and forcing them to conform to our groove of thinking, we are living their lives!!! That is selfish on our part, isn't it? May be they spend more on their clothes. But they also indirectly influence others into doing good, which others who do not look as good might not have managed to do. So great...I am ok with such selfishness. In fact, I think it is selflessness that comes accidentally that is beautiful. If we are selfless because we "should be" so...we get our egos attached to it...I did this, I did that...lol. Dont you think? Just a thought..

Wow!What a logic!Vandanaji,I would like to suggest you to get your findings published.I can't disagree with you here.Logically,you are right.Only one thing I would like to say is,we plan our monthly budget as per our necessities,not our desires.

Yes I know a few people in my surrounding that are like that. I hate it when they talk about the appearances of others. Beauty comes from within.

Yes, some people are obsessed by their attractive appearance & think they are superior than others but not all of them are same . Some beautiful people are very helpful & selfless.

Yes it happens that what looks beautiful to you might not look beautiful to others. It depends on one's way of looking at things. So beauty can't be related to selfishness.

I also agree with you that these are two different things & doesn't have any relationship between them.

That's right, i think their attitude depends more on the environment they grew up with and their upbringing. Take cheating, i know people cheat out of selfish reasons, but the thing is, everybody can cheat whether they're attractive or not, they can and they do. I remember being cheated by (i am sorry i say this but he is) a really ugly guy and i told myself, i would never get another ugly guy. Both ugly and handsome guys can make me cry so I'd pick the handsome one instead.

I also agree with both of you that it depends on how people are brought up in childhood & not on looks.There are so many beautiful people who are very helpful not selfish. It might be case with some people but not all of them are selfish.

In the end it all boils down to their personality and how they cope with issues in their life, either they choose to at selfishly or they choose to be otherwise,

Yeah its,true that some people who have good physical appearance are selfish coz they think they are superior than the others.But it cant be the case with every beautiful person.

This is why it is not good to worship or treat beautiful people. We should look at each other as equals no matter what and respect everyone, not just because they are pretty. It is society that made pretty people behave like they do, that is what I believe.

Maybe it's possible. Maybe this is the conclusion of the experiment. Sometimes on receiving special treatment for having attractive appearance from the people, a person might become self obsessed of his /her appearance which maybe considered as selfishness later.

Very well said angelpink. And beautiful people who have good personalities and character are quite common too,

Yeah Angelpink ,I too have seen some people who dont look so good physically but are selfish & full of ego & some who are good looking & they're kind & selfless. You made a good point that character has nothing to do with the personal look of a person.Its related with one's deeds.

I agree akamaru. It really is all in character. Although at this generation, with all the technology available, i think it is now your fault of you're not beautiful enough.

AkamaruKei, I also agree with you that it depends on the character not on the looks. And Nursefrai ,its true that people can now become beautiful by new technology but the selfish ones cant fool others by this .

Yes attractive people have a little more confidence & are ambitious too which often considered as selfishness but there are exceptions too as some beautiful people are also beautiful from inside & are very helpful & caring. So beauty & selfishness can't be linked with each other.

Although you linked beauty with selfishness in your childhood but you should understand that they dont have any connection. You dont have to separate yourself from that category.There are exceptions & maybe youre one of them.

Yes I also think that's not true. Yes we should judge people on their actions not on their looks.

Yeah beauty of a person should not be based on physical appearance.It should be based on one's deeds. Being selfless & helping others without any greed makes oneself beautiful.
