I’m just wondering…
I’m not beautiful, I’m overweight, and I’m Muslim and people still treat me well.
I think most people couldn’t care less.

People treat you the way you let them treat you.

My face looks okay in the right light, I guess. 
But I wouldn’t say I’m beautiful by any means. I receive positive treatment on average. I’ve been both overweight and underweight (I’m safely in the middle now!) and treatment was pretty consistent between the two ends of the spectrum. I think people only care about weight if they have a complex themselves.

I think it depends on the person. I would have a hard time liking or relating to a person who only valued someone based on looks alone. But I have met people like that.

It is all about your character. Your overall appearance of course adds a lot to how will people treat you, but being aesthetically perfect has nothing to do with it.

I think people will treat you poorly even if you’re not beautiful.
I think it may depend on the culture and the socioeconomic status, but most of the time people are shitty to the ugly ones, starting from alienation and bullying in social environments and ending with a higher overall rate of rejections when trying to find a romantic partner.
If you ask about day to day interactions, it mostly depends on genders (of sexual interest) and tons of other stuff, but it usually sums up to people who, some times secretly, condescend on ones that look significantly worse than them.
Sometimes. I am not pretty. I think that people would treat me better if I were. I am very self-conscious.
I don’t think people are deliberately picking on me because I am average looking. But beautiful/handsome people do get treated better. I saw a study that said people tend to assume that good-looking people are nicer and smarter than average looking folk just because they look good. Good looking people just tend to get preferential treatment in many aspects of life.

I stayed with my last psychiatrist because she was very pretty.
There was nothing special about her, she was an average pdoc.
Someone’s good looks can throw you off track sometimes.

Beauty is a definite advantage, from someone who’s been from one end of the spectrum at youth, to the other end (Ugliness) at mature age.
EDIT: I mean, I wasn’t exactly an adonis when I was younger, but you definitely experience a difference in the way people treat/look at you, and it does affect your mood and possibly your outlook. People who have always been beautiful aka @Sarad may not have the perspective necessary to make a judgement call, but her input is correct neverthelesss.
I don’t think that people necessarily treat you poorly if you’re ugly, from my experience you’re more invisible than anything. People will go out of their way to not make eye contact with you if you’re fat or ugly. When the Saphris made me double my weight really fast, it was like night and day the way people treated and reacted to my existence. Even things as simple as people holding a door for me or not.
On the other hand, people can often discount the accomplishments of good-looking people, which is equally unfair. So it’s a mixed bag.
