Sexual Attractiveness or just Attractiveness
The power of being very attractive is incredibly understated. You do not have to be a model or a movie star to take advantage of it. Albeit it is true subjective beauty, as the axiom goes is found in the eye of the beholder, in the aggregate, humans are attracted to symmetry and health. As these imply good genes and if this was not correct, then the beauty and cosmetics industries would cease to exist. Since in the end, these essentially exist to improve our existing genes or to hide its imperfections.
So how does this translate into real life? The world basically treats you differently and more often than not, it will treat you rather well. Especially in the West given the better opportunities to live off them. For example, the power/influence of a 19–21 gorgeous person on society is immense. They can get away with almost everything as people are more likely to listen, want to help, generally treat you better, be kinder, you can get stuff for free here and there, and partners may/will “invest” a lot more in you as they try to date you.
Being Born In The Right Country/Parents
No one who is born has control over this, either. Hence, from your perspective it is completely a matter of chance. You might be born within the right household, the right values and get the right education. For example, if you are born in say, Canada, Sweden, Australia or Finland, you are off the gate, better off than 7/8th of the world. These countries, among many great countries, have a fairly large middle class, and being born in them almost guarantees you are unlikely to ever want for food, reasonable education, shelter, welfare and medical aid. Not to mention, likely to have a positive outlook towards equal treatment of women, the sexes and/or of sex in general, which is something that cannot be said about other countries, like theocracies, or poor countries. Your outlook is more likely to lean on the positive over growing up in a abusive household or in a war zone.
All of which are basic needs the vast majority of the world does not constantly have access to, or can afford.
Intelligence/Charm/EQ
The power of being able to relate well/inspire/charm people is arguably the best unfair advantage there is. You can seduce beautiful partners, move or work upwards in your career in an easier fashion as you can increase your social fluidity, by simply interacting with people, convince them to give you money, etc. Although some of these skills can be learned, it is even better(!) when they are innate, as you get a better head-start from the get go. Stephen Hawking is likely one of the most obvious examples of cheer, raw intelligence, being highly regarded as a brilliant man yet needing to rely on others to feed him. He nevertheless fathered three children despite being quadriplegic and unable to speak without the aid of machine.
Another example, I will say that Will Smith is one of these people. Whether you may personally dislike or even hate the man or not, given his later personal drama, the fact is that most people on the planet have really liked the guy. Heck, for most of his movies he plays pretty much the same character: himself. Still, people let him get away with it because he is so darn likeable, as per movie ticket sales. However, he is a perfect example, even if you have been liked for almost 2 decades, his personal choices in his love life have been enough to derail his career.
Any other advantages are great to have but they will not be as good as these three or they feed off or can arguably be traced to the ones mentioned above.
Lastly, it is vital to always remember: Even if you are born with any or all three of these, it does not guarantee a happy or content life. There are many moving parts in a person’s life, many are up to you and lie within your control but others are not. There is no guarantees in life and we are not the same, or see the world in the same way yet that does not deny the reality that many will have an easier go at it, than most of us. Do not take this as bad news but as a reminder that we are not helpless and that we can always attempt to improve our lot in life and benefit those who we love and more so, those who love us in return.
