  1.  @narusenval  When people talk about "attractiveness," they usually refer to one of two things: facial symmetry, strong bone structure, outstanding features (like pretty eyes, lips, nose); or whatever is beautiful in a given society. Either way it's worth talking about, because the first set of traits is pretty universally considered beautiful across human cultures, indicating genetic health, and the second point is still researchable within that society (for example, lip plates aren't a universal sign of beauty, but they are attractive in certain African tribes. So their effect is similar to the universal traits, it just only applies to the African tribe.) I hope that wasn't too jumbled, but from what we know, attractive people have it easier in life. Better friendships and relationships, easier time holding down jobs, less harsh sentences in court ( ! ), and a whole host of other things. It's super important.

  2. I think it's worth mentioning that House (ignoring for a second that Hugh Laurie just plays him) probably knew he would win the bet, but not necessarily because Chase is just a hunk of meat to the women. The situation played to House's advantage, too: if you're at a speed dating event, chances are the women that showed up are already more likely to give someone their number. Even House, who put off every woman (besides maybe the fake cop?) still got a few numbers. At another place, like a bar, both parties can be more picky and take cues based on things like approach or ability to dance, etc. You could even argue that pheromones platy a role. And, of course, the interaction itself. Also this is a fucking TV show, to the people that are still convinced that "all women are shallow". We all are, to an extent, but the longer you know someone, the less their looks play a role, because you literally get used to their attractiveness.

  3.  Anti-Federalist 1776  Because knowledge of the fact can shield people somewhat from the effects.... and being Adonis won't save you from being an asshole. No matter how attractive you are, even if the other person just wants sex, eventually they will leave if you're a shitty person. Make no mistake- looks are a foot in the door! But you've got to walk in.

  4.  John Sampson  "Women are notorious" What, like you heard about it in the paper? Give me a fucking break. You're right about one thing, though— women do stay with abusive boyfriends, but looks have nothing to do with it. It's mostly psychological, like Stockholm Syndrome or (there are a lot of ugly pimps out here in Chicago) a feeling of comfort and safety (the girls tend to gloss over the beatings in their own minds.) I'm not saying attractive people don't have natural advantages, but that doesn't automatically make them assholes, nor are all women (3.5 Billion people!!) the same. That's just ridiculous and leads me to believe that you're either too young for experience with women, or are the classic "nice guy" they cry to when they have problems, because you're too boring for anyone to date.

  5. And trust issues. When people have something to gain from you (using you for looks, money) you can't let your guard down. For hot girls it's especially hard because no girl wants to invite them out, they'd steal all the attention. They end up having no real friends

  6.    Should we also believe the schizophrenics about the "people" they talk to? If you have Stockholm syndrome, or severe anxiety, you're not thinking straight. You can't always take people at their word, especially if they've been psychologically damaged.
