This idea get introduced to us when we are children, kids observe two things very keenly. How grows up interact and what grows up focus on the most. And for some reasons, grown ups like morons focus on looks the most. That is largely the content of the complement people pay to kids. So if the kid is Pretty, people don't ignore that fact, infact, district to it entirely. "Oh, you are so beautiful, you are so cute, you have such a beautiful smile!".

And if they are let's say that three kids and only one of them is pretty or prettier than the two, what a lot of people tend to do is, they very openly and innocently show our whole lot of compliments on the beauty of that pretty kid, planting all sorts of in securities in the minds of other two. Because what kids see is: aAdults sure love to focus on lot on beauty. Therefore beauty must be very special. I am not pretty, which means I am not as special as beautiful people. It's an innocent mind at the peak of its learning, it's drawing conclusions from every penny experience that it can we learn from.

Beauty is an idea that is associated with wholesomeness and happiness

I lie that has been sold to us by television, advertisement, movies, and basically the screen which we hold in our hands. Simple example of this is any and you may come across. it's going to be a product coupled with a very pretty face with the underlying message that if you are using this product, who are going to be happy; basically beauty is happiness.

When was the last time you went to a mall, and you notice that every poster, banner, ad, every picture around you is only of perfectly good looking people ? They are brainwashing you so openly but you still don't find that alarmingly, inconsistent and improper, you don't because you are used to it, and not only that, you have bought that lie, one of the greatest psychological brainwashing tricks pulled by the advertisement and marketing world. Substitute Beauty with wholesomeness. If you believe that bullshit, why don't you pursue beauty then!.

Human precious symmetrical structures

So as we are growing up, we create notions of what is symmetrical face is from looking at multiple face around us. The ones showing uniformity are associated with beauty ones that have irregularity are associated with an attractiveness. For example, crooked set of teeth, bent or curved nose, protruding chin,,uneven distribution of facial hair. Anything that breaks conformity in your mind might get perceived as unpleasant to look at or simply an attractive.

Cultural icons:

Almost all other celebrities are and have historically been beautiful to look at her now only that, we celebrate and cherished their beauty. Because they are also largely our cultural icons, they are the people will look up to, try to look like, talk like, and be like. Think for the point of view of a your impressionable person. When they see the most celebrated people everybody around them like our specially very beautiful. Beauty automatically becomes even a bigger, for precious commodity in our minds.

Another psychological reason for pursuing beautiful people because they remained office of celebrities, who according to our social sensibilities, are the best people to have in your life. When we compliment a person that have looked like a celebrity, very often to do with our lovers, not only do we want to see that in them, They feel exceptionally great about ourselves as well. And the last reason why we particularly go after beautiful people is because humans inherently are collectors of family. We say we like admiring beauty, but what we actually like more in possessing it.

Sex

We want to have sex with beautiful people. Fancy large part of sex is visual and we are highly sexual beings.
