Although it sounds completely contradictory and almost unbelievable, research has shown that it is still somewhat true.
If you are facing problems in your love life, this research may help you find answers to the questions that are bothering you.
Researchers have been documenting the impact of what we say for years "beauty bonus": not only do beautiful people get more attention at school and at work, but they should also make more money compared to less attractive co-workers. But as it seems research, published in Personal Relationships, all that glitters is not gold. Beauty is supposed to take its toll. And that in love.
Thus, scientists from Harvard are under the guidance of a social psychologist Christine Ma-Kellams came to the conclusion that beautiful people, despite being noticed by the opposite or same sex before, they don't keep the relationship and get divorced several times. "The more beautiful a person is, the harder it is to keep a partner. The one who is beautiful knows that he has more opportunities and that many people wish they could be with him." explains Christine. Relationships with people who are considered attractive are therefore subject to greater risk. It is believed that because beautiful people have more courtship, this can be a potential threat to the survival of the relationship. "If someone has multiple options, their first focus is not the relationship or the work behind it," concludes Ma-Kellams.
