Does having a nice body mean u can go far in life?

Well, this question would all depend on what her idea of going 'far in life' is. You've pointed out attractiveness' effect on meeting a partner, self confidence and attention which are three points that are all central to social ideas and I feel that they are irrelevant to my personal idea of what it means to go far in life. I consider going far in life to refer to getting a good education, getting a good job and fulfilling your hopes and aspirations.

Being beautiful will only get her far in life if she aims for certain careers such as modelling, acting etc. and even then you do not have to look a certain way to reach these careers. You mention that your friend is worried about her weight but look at the famous singer Adele, she is a larger lady but she is beautiful and has a phenomenal voice. Just because she isn't stick thin, it hasn't stopped her getting far in life. And besides, who is to say that you have to be stick thin to be beautiful? The media has imprinted into our minds that skinny is beautiful and to be larger is wrong when in fact, some people would argue that larger ladies are a lot better looking than skinnier ladies.

As for meeting a partner, there is no rush! I'm going to assume that she is quite young and suggest that instead of focussing on meeting someone, she should let it happen naturally. As for her social skills decreasing, she should realise that the right guy will come along and will like her for who she is, what she looks like and everything about her. If she feels that she cannot get a partner due to not looking the way the world makes her think she should, then she is going for the wrong guys.

She does not need to diet if it is for aesthetic reasons. If however she is worried about her health, then yes dieting is a good idea but otherwise she should stop worrying and learn to love herself! If she starts dieting she will fixate herself on what she eats and let's face it, life is short so why deprive yourself of the foods you enjoy eating to make shallow people like you? I can understand if she is dieting to bring her self confidence up because I know personally how it feels to have little self confidence, however I feel that if she learns to accept herself the way she is, it will benefit her a lot more. Weight goes up and down, it is not a stable source of self confidence.

You need to just keep encouraging your friend and convince her that she is fine the way she is. She is at University and that will further her in life more than any short term relationship will. Quality of life is not determined by aesthetic factors, you determine your life path.

It helps but not by much. Hard work intelligence and some element of risk taking, good organisation skills and good communication skills will take you much further
