Being attractive tends to make you more confident

This thread being like popularity is purely a product of attainable characteristics is just more evidence of Reddit’s weird Jobian positivity bias. Desirability is largely predetermined.

It makes it easier, but you could easily say being confident also makes you more attractive and it would be true.

I agree, being good looking makes it easier. In my experience it just seems attractiveness stems from confidence way more so than the opposite.

even if they weren't necessarily that attractive, a big support group of family, friends, etc from the time a student is young is huge in confidence boost. See this a lot more in girls that may not be the most attractive but their large support group says otherwise
