If people are generally nice to you by default, and willing to break little rules for you, you are probably attractive. Attractive people are treated better on average, and strangers you interact with who have no obligations to you will have a positive bias towards you. They might let you into the shop to grab something real quick as they close, or a person on break might help you when they were off the clock, or invite you to take something normally reserved for a specific group you're not a part of. Those are perks and special treatment, and not the norm for people who are unattractive.
If you find yourself thinking "well people do that for me sometimes but it's just because I'm polite and friendly" or something, now you're getting it.
Same with being tall. Tall people are more likely to get promoted because when you're a kid the people in charge are taller than you so therefore anyone taller than you should be in charge.
Yeah, in some scenarioss you kinda have default authorithy and people like to assign leadership roles to you. For me, I'm aware height + my personality also makes me scary and unapproachable. Its a strange combitation.
That's how orks in WH40k work
I would agree with this. I have not experienced this so now I know where I stand 😂
Appreciate your detailed response.
