I think people are taught not to look down on others based on appearance, but not to avoid looking up at them.

This is a fair enough distinction. Though I still think there is more contextual nuances at play. Shallow Hal seems to fit both cases. To be vapid or shallow. We certainly don't just critique those for exclusively caring about other's appearances but also those that only care about their own.
Which I can see a deterioration of the vapid criticism as social media capitalizes on this nature. Not just with people, but we do seem to care more for form over function now.
There's actual studies about how easy it is to get a job, or do well professionally, if you're handsome
the human brain is hardwired to assume beauty equals -better- some how
No one is saying anything that is in contention to this. In fact, most of what has been said explicitly acknowledges these facts. Please read the conversation before responding.
