Ugly people are always looked down on

Wherever it is, ugly girls always get scornful eyes, because prejudice about beauty is human nature, scientists claim.

Research shows that we always uphold formal beauty rather than intellect.

A question and answer investigation revealed: those who lose in beauty are more than twice as likely to be eliminated as their rivals, even if they answer more questions correctly than those who prefer form. look.

Venkataraman Bhaskar researcher explored dozens of segments in the Dutch game show Shafted. This program requires applicants with the highest score to choose a player to remove from the circle.

In fact, although playing is not worse than others (sometimes even better), players with the worst looks are eliminated twice as much in the first turn.

Research by the University of London shows that candidates have equated attractiveness with collaborative ability.

In the final round, the top candidates will choose one of the remaining two players to join him in the next game, where they will have to compete with each other for the bonuses they've earned. However, if both are trying to win money, they will leave empty handed. That means the top candidate must choose the person he sees capable of cooperating.

Once again, the chosen person is usually the most beautiful of the remaining opponents.

And in 13 times, this all leads them to choose people with lower scores, which also means the bonuses are reduced.

"We found that on average they were willing to sacrifice 350 euros to group with more attractive people."

Experts say that beauty preferences can be rooted in the evolutionary process. Having a more attractive partner will help us to produce healthy children and thus pass our genes on to the next generation.

Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor in Texas, USA, said: "We are all like that. We all like to have beautiful people around us."
