Like cashiers and strangers. One time we were chatting, and someone CROSSED THE STREET to compliment her. It’s like a different existence.”
That last part, about it being a “different existence,” is very real and has been well-documented. For example, many studies have shown that attractiveness can lead to better treatment in the workplace and another study examined the ways in which biases favoring attractive people happen on a chemical level.
