The SINGLE? How can somebody only answer with one advantage! This series is about honesty, so I'm not holding back. For me, it is everything. Shallow or not, it is my everything. But perhaps, that is because I its my type of hard wiring, I can hold any emotion with a visual representation. If I look hot, I feel hot. I run faster because I picture myself in a Gatorade commercial, you know, where there are attractive people running and sweating beads of Gatorade. Self image is very powerful thing.

Interesting comment. I wonder how you would answer the other questions.

i love that these videos display true human feeling,weather you agree with the people's peception or not you empathize with them simply because you know they are being honest,and in truth it is better to know the truth and being able to do something about it rather than not knowing or being ignorant

[Castaa]

Thanks. I'm glad you appreciate that like I do.

Great video but at 8.50 Holly has her arms over her knees and it makes her head look really small.

[Castaa]

Holly's head is normal size. I can assure you. :D I cool thing about Holly is that she agreed to do the interview somewhat hungover and not dressed up. Holly freaking rocks.

beauty gives someone "control" over people around them because the beautiful are idolized in society.

I think the advantage to being beautiful is that you get admired, and it raises your self esteem. I'm not beautiful, but my two older sisters are. I can see that they get admired. That people like them, and that others think my sisters have pleasant personalities.

On a side note, my sister is an auditor. Lol.

Is it just me or does Ron seem like he's up himself?

[pixelated111]

Why do so many people dislike this? I think this is a wonderful documentary.

[Sceptical112]

Andee seems really arrogant .... it's the way she talks... :(

beauty in my opinion is connected to love. i may consider someone physicaly attractive but if i do not experience love towards them, they are nothing. i would say 99.999999999999 of human population is not beautiful compare to the one i love and my kids.

Outer beauty is only advantageous when complimented with inner beauty. There are some considered beautiful who have vile personalities. As well, someone who is so inwardly beautiful will appear to have almost an aura about them, even if they are not outwardly beautiful. I have known individuals like this who exude an energy that goes beyond physical appearance. Kindness is beautiful. Showing respect towards others is beautiful. A vibrant, open personality is beautiful.

[ollicehunter]

I believe that beauty can enhance pretty much any positive attribute. If you are beautiful and intelligent, you will seem that much more intelligent, because it is coupled with beauty. If you are beautiful and kind, your kindness will be that much more radiant. Beauty is a gift to be cherished, and if you can see it in that way, to value as opposed to exploit it, that is true beauty.

Oh- that's so sad. I am so sorry for you. It proves that beauty is a gift to be cherished and not taken for granted. But on the up side, you get to see a blatent picture of the nature of people in reguards to the physical appearance of people, and then delve into the deeper meanings to life. I was unattractive most of my life until I turned about 20, then I blossomed, so I know what it looks like from both ends. You should read "A New Earth" It could really help you.
