Ugly People are More Dangerous?


I found a (personally hilarious) article funded by the U.S government stating that ugly people are more dangerous!

Not only are physically unattractive teenagers likely to be stay-at-homes on prom night, they're also more likely to grow up to be criminals, say two economists who tracked the life course of young people from high school through early adulthood.

"We find that unattractive individuals commit more crime in comparison to average-looking ones, and very attractive individuals commit less crime in comparison to those who are average-looking," say Naci Mocan of the University of Colorado and Erdal Tekin of Georgia State University.

Other studies have shown that unattractive men and women are less likely to be hired, and that they earn less money than the better-looking. Such inferior circumstances may steer some to crime, Mocan and Tekin suggest.


This study is fantastically weird to say the least, firstly its quite the statement to make as isnt beauty in the eye or the beer-holder... i mean BEHOLDER. :) And secondly why are economists actually conducting this study.. what do they know about this?

So guys we can work out that if you are 'Being Bad' its only because you ugly.

GET PRETTY.
GET RICH.
GET SAFE.

(is basically what this is claiming, which in no way agrees with what I think people).
