Beauty=happy?
There is a famous quote by Stendhal that says: "beauty is only the promise of happiness".
So my question is, do you think (physically) beautiful people are happier? why or why not? |

I once assumed they were, but am convinced beauty and happiness are unrelated.

No, they just have different problems.

No... I don't.
Sometimes I hear that beautiful people aren't as happy as everyone thinks they are. Beautiful people say it's hard to find a decent partner because they always go for their looks and not their personality.

Pretty folks aren't always aware of their beauty, just as thin folks feel obese and starve themselves. Pretty folks aren't always concerned with their partner's appearance, either. I've known women who hated being gawked at, guys who were unhappy with being hit on.
Of course I have no personal experience to draw from. |

beauty fades then what are you left with? At some point age will get everyone!

In my hopeless moments, I believe this to be true.
But I think the better statement would be "love=happy". Loving yourself, loving others, loving activities, being loved, loving life.
