Attractiveness and peoples skills

[Little Fishy]

is there a correlation between how attractive someone is and their people skills? does sex or age affect this correlation?

Nobody has an opinion? I think doing things that make a person more attractive to others indicates that a person is at least not a total introvert. Introverts have to work hard at people skills. FWIW.

attractiveness leads to confidence, which will lead to better people skills.

however, i think this is more prevalent in men, because many attractive women dont have to have good people skills because they can get away with any attitude whatsoever and still get laid.

I'm calling BS on the relationship here, because of something in my psychology textbook that deals with this issue specifically. I'm a blindbat for doing so? I think it's more reliable than "common sense" because it addresses that. I'll post what I read from my book after a few more responses.

this would make sense if a good personality=people skills... but people interact with one another on a lot of different levels including loks. i wouldthink that because of higher female beauty anxiety and a higher stress on female beauty, female people skills would be more dependent on attractiveness

what about people who used to be attractive... do they have better people skills when old?? or does everything even out??

[purnell]

I think age is overall positively correlated to people skills, regardless of attractiveness. You live and you learn, even if you're not trying.

Also, don't strong people skills make a person seem more attractive? Or are we limiting attractiveness to what can be seen in a still photo?

Looks only affects how people initially respond to someone.

People skills are a person's ability to make a social connection after that first impression.
