Would humans ever evolve enough to see past superficial looks

| From pretty babies to cute elderly folks, looks can really improve how humans adore, accept, ignore or reject other humans. Is it ever going to change? |

| Never heard elderly folks called cute. |

Well, there are elderly who age well and elderly who age poorly, not because of their doing but due to genetic privilege or lack of it. |

| Beauty is just not a factor in youth but from day one to last day. |

| No, that's silly. Even animals base their attraction on the physical - peacocks for example. |

| I think people tend to forget that humans are also animals and animals place a concerted focus on mating. Because of this, physical attraction will always matter to a certain extent. |

| Superficial looks often indicate health and are part of mating/natural selection. |

| No because that vision is one of our most basic survival instincts |

I was thinking about this exact thing today. You see I'm studying really hard to pass some exams to be able to do a job, one I've done in the past. But it's dominated by females and there is sort of a hierarchy of beauty that persists even in the work force. Even if I'm "smarter" and work harder, I do not have model looks...tall, thin, long flows hair and large sparkling eyes. I myself am taken by their looks and feel intimidated so why wouldn't others. It's not fair but it does seem to come down to looks a lot of times. It's so unfair. |
