Society and Beauty: How do they effect one another?

I believe a person's appearance paves their path in society. If a 'pretty' girl wants something all she really has to do is ask and she would more than likely get whatever it was that she wanted. On the other hand, if an 'ugly' girl wanted the same thing she would have to work 10x harder and would probably only get a fraction of what she wants. This is just the way things are. People only look at what's on the outside. I don't think it's fair. I don't think I'm that good looking and I'm not afraid to admit it but I'm also not afraid to work for something I want if I want it bad enough. If you take people out of the real world that are 'successful' you will notice that most of the people that are seen as successful people are also good looking. What do the rest of us do? Should we sit back and wait for a good looking person to fall, all the while hoping if they fall and we help pick up the pieces that we'll get some credit? What kind of a life is that? I think that society puts too much pressure on the people in the back ground. We work hard to catch up with the rest of society or at least get close to catching up. Society is really only based on looks. This is how it has been for a while and it will probably stay this way until the end of time itself.
