On average, rich people look better than poor people. It certainly has to do with healthcare and the way they are dressed etc, but I think that the main reason is natural selection.

It should be, but it has nothing to do with natural selection. And I know what I'm talking about, because I saw a lot of rich people in my last job. Healthy life, fine dresses and plastic surgery make that effect.

Remember the Los Angeles video? They only put photogenic people on TV.
I got to the Cote d'Azur once, I didn't see one set of firm tits. |

I can´t agree with that! That´s just because you don´t look to close, beautiful has nothing to do with money!

Yep, it's been shown that if you send a beautiful person and an average person into a job interview with the same resume, the beautiful person more often gets the job. And you can somewhat subjectively measure beauty as how symmetric someone is (how closely does the left and right sides of their faces match).
But certainly rich people have the clothes and body work (plastic or spa/haircuts) that make them more beautiful. |

You don't find Gates cute, apl?
I was talking about people who were born rich, not self made men. Hard work and greed make self made men uglier than average.

I don't take into account noble people either. Their aunts married their uncles, they're all half crazy, like Neron.
Take the Kennedys, for example. They are good looking because their dads married beautiful women.

Take a look at Jagger and Tyler daughters. It's obvious that nature chooses the best way.

Rich men can attract beautiful women (and vice versa) and produce offspring with a healthy genetic chance of being born beautiful.
Beautiful people get rich
Ugly rich can pay to become beautiful.
As a poor mutant though I prefer to focus on the beauty that lies within

rock and roll is the loophole in the beauty paradigm.
you can be ugly as fuck but still get rich and laid.
Mick Jagger being a good example.. there are many others.

Well, it's all a matter of opinion anyway, but yeah, I'd say rich people are more likely to conform to typical societal standards of beauty because of the reasons other people have suggested. Poor people not being able to afford nice clothes might also be a factor. I've never done a study on this, though, and can't say for sure if it's true, at least in my own opinion. Really, I'm inclined to believe it isn't true.

| I think it has to do with a lot of things- time to put into your looks vs. worrying about getting by day to day, diet, access to and time for exercise, stress level, etc. True, many of the "leisure class" look well-rested and happy, can afford good dental care, nice clothes, can take vacations, etc. But beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. |

What do you mean? That rich people make believe they are beautiful? What does that mean, "believe"? Finding something beautiful is already subjective, how can you add more "subjectiveness" to that? If there is a pattern that rich people created that we think is beauty, but it's not, then what is true beauty? Are there two different levels of beauty? Like, what I believe is beauty, then what really is beautiful. And how can you know what is truly beautiful?
If you mean that my subjectiveness tends to associate two distinct things, wealth and beauty, because each of them is desirable, then explain how I am able to see that people like Bill Gates or the prince of Wales are obviously unattractive.

Rock and roll confirms my theory. Ugly guys become sex symbols when they become rich.

Mick Jagger is a sex symbol because media say he's a sex symbol, it doesn't take a long look at his face to see that he's as sexy as Jacques Chirac.

-Natural selection: rich guys can marry (almost) who ever they want. Their kids go in high-level schools, marry beautiful and intelligent girls (cos' they've got dady's money, they get richer. If you're ugly, alcooholic, violent, stupid and poor, you'll get the ugliest,stupid and poorest girl in town.
-Beauty standards: Rich people decide what's ugly or not. There was a time tan and skiny girls where considered ugly. tan meant working outside (and not rich enough to afford holydays in the sun), skiny meant poor (and not rich enough to buy dietetic and healthy food). Fashion is made for rich people.

Jacques doesn't have Mick's mouth and he can't dance.
His job doesn't allow him to change his wife every 20 years.

"Rich people decide what's ugly or not" that's exactly what I'm saying, and there's only stupid persons to believe they have good tastes

money didn't make Jagger beautiful, he's still ugly but we're made to believe he is attractive because of the glossy pictures the standard aesthetic wife(s) and the rock and roll life style, the media dictates what's beautiful nowadays, a million and ten eating disorders are testimony to that.
I've never been big on aesthetics, my list of past crushes reads like a who's who of seriously great but not typically beautiful looking people, and the nice guys aren't often the rich ones (hence Bill Gates - the dog. I'm guessing to some that amount of wedge makes him attractive, to some sickos mind)

I think some people are willing to overlook ugliness when money is involved.
While my actual answer to the title is "They aren't," I think there's a certain degree of truth in a lot of what was said. The generalization is still dumb, though. I find that I largely agree with Cassandra.
