Do attractive people tend to gravitate to other attractive people

[Anonymous]

And visa versa? Do you find this to be true in your life? Or is it more stratified by income?

Yes birds of a feather flock together. We sometimes let ugly rich people into our circle because they always offer to pick up the tab.

They do.

We just joined a 55 and over community to snowbird at. I think I was 56 and DH 59 when we bought there 2.5 years ago. We’re some of the youngest and we’re fairly attractive.
I noticed that all our good friends there are younger (like us) and attractive.
So that’s how the world works, I am thinking.

I know some attractive people who have ugly friends. It makes them feel better about themselves I think.

Define attractive

Why yes. Yes, we do. Why do you ask?

Yes. Of course. How is this even a question? People tend to couple up with people who are of similar attractiveness -- there is a ton of research out there on this.

I'm conventionally attractive and I am attracted to people who look smart, seem kind, and are funny. As an adult it's a non-issue on who is attracted to me but in college any time there was a group project it was always boys I didn't know who were asking to be in a group with me.

Of course. Common sociological behavior for all of recorded history.

There is also the behavior of "mids" or "duffs" to be accepted into a group to make the hotter ones of the friend group look even hotter.

Everyone gravitates toward attractive people and away from unattractive people.

You're 56 and just figured this out? Make the most of your new found power while you still can!

I remember reading a study that supported this in a psychology class a looong time ago. I remember talking about it with friends and we kind of agreed we were all the same level of good looking.
