b52s Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Also notice, in job searching.....people who are attractive have the better, upstanding jobs, and more than likely to be hired. A hotsy-totsy legal secretary or admin. asst, will get hired over a plain looking woman most times. Unless, of course the hiring manager is a woman herself, then she might stand a chance. So good looks doesn't necessarily apply to just dating. Heck, I saw to stock boys at Publix simultaneously helping a hot older woman. Was there a need for them to be both there to help her? LOL...no....her being hot just her an overabundance of assitance.
Author BookerT Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 Unless the person losing the fortune inherited it or won it in a lottery, they've been able to make money in the past and so they're better equipped than most people to get back there. I think it follows that they're probably better equipped to take on all kinds of challenges - including trading down - in a positive, tough frame of mind. Nah, work back up, maybe. But most super successful people hate giving up the money AND the power. It's addictive. There's no reason to work once you have lets say 10 mil USD. Most rich and powerful people continue to work not just because of the joy of working, but because of the power it gets them. Show offs like Trump, Richard Branson or Bill Clinton are extreme examples of the desire for power. If they can't crawl back up the ladder back to the top, even if they are mediocre they will hate themselves. The weaker minded and more egotistical the person, the more like a humiliation it's going to feel to trade down. A smarter, more adventurous person will adapt far more easily. Well a truly enlightened person might be a priest or a monk with hardly any possessions. Most human beings can't trade down though. An attractive person with nothing else going for them will naturally be focused highly on looks. In other cases, looks are just one consideration. Someone, male or female, who is above average in a number of areas, including physical attractiveness, might place less value on looks in a potential partner, more on intelligence, musical/artistic talent, emotional stability etc. No use having a partner with a pretty face if sex with them is a washout, or you're going to be ducking to avoid flying crockery 5 times a month, or if they're so stupid you lose the will to live after 5 minutes of conversation with them. Unless you are equally stupid and unbalanced. Which is why of course most attractive picky individuals also want a smart partner on top of looks and good in bed. They're looking for perfection. Which is why there are many unmarried attractive people. They can't settle for less. It's a curse, I never said it was actually a blessing.
