Wrong, believe it or not but the way human psychology works (and this truly is hardwired into us) your appearance is “you” and everything else about you isn’t actually you. Your brain doesn’t have as strong a connection with all the things you’ve earned and achieved, your most emotional and primal attachment is to your physical “avatar” so to speak.
Let me put it this way hypothetically, if you found out some woman you were really attracted to was fantasising about having sex with your image, as in she didn’t know anything about you she saw you on the bus and found your image so appealing she fantasised about it, you’d be vastly more excited by that prospect than a woman attracted to your wealth and fame but visually imagining another mans image.
The concept of aesthetic beauty runs very very deep in humans, this is evident in children as well. Fame, wealth, intelligence, wit, these are great qualities but fundamentally they are socially enforced constructs. They require a baseline and context. Looks just is, this is the reason why virtually all famous and wealthy people try to maximise their looks. Its actually fascinating we are human brains floating in skeleton bodies but the single most impactful thing for us how nice someone else’s smile is.
Its actually quite beautiful in its own way. But yeah anyway fame/wealth is a great compensation for looks, it does something no denying that. But you can’t ever really compare it to the feeling of KNOWING someone is fantasising about you even though they know nothing about you.
