Have noticed good looking guys have more friends (of both sexes)
Can understand women (they might see you as a potential suitor down the line) but are men more willing to be friends with you if you are more attractive? One can argue social skills/confidence but does that not arise as a result of years of positive feedback?
This works two-fold:
1. good-looking guys would be invited out more often, as people often invite those that they might sort of know (to parties, social gatherings, grabbing lunch with coworkers etc.), but good looking people would be more likely to get the benefit of the doubt and get the invite in the first place
2. And when they are invited out, they would be treated better- people would go out of their way to talk to them, they would receive more compliments, they would be bullied/ostracised less
As such, to what extent do you guys reckon looks and social skills/confidence matters when making other guys friends? 70% looks, 30% social skills/confidence? 20% looks 80% social skills/confidence? The Halo Effect could have something to do with it but do guys consciously seek to associate with good-looking men
