As a guy, I find that most guys dismiss beauty as luck while chasing girls who have it.

They fail to realize that a sizable percentage of attractive girls don’t roll out of bed a 10. They watch what they eat, they run, work out, pay special attention to clothes, makeup, hair, etc. It adds up to a couple hours each day. In the age of instagram, the bar has only risen higher.

When I see beauty now I think of the effort it takes to stay that way and silently congratulate them.

It is, though. Luck (genetics) determines your baseline and roof. No amount og grooming and training will change your potential.
