(Noun) Also known as pretty privilege. A well-documented phenomenon in which human perception of a person’s character/trustworthiness is impacted by that person’s physical attractiveness/beauty. Studies found that when two focus groups were each shown a photo of a different person (one beautiful, one not), and shown an identical list of crimes that person committed, the focus group (or “jury”) gave the beautiful person a lighter sentence.
“Wow, that cop was so nice to me! I was speeding by 20, and he let me off with a warning!”
“It’s probably because you’re pretty.”
“Haha! I guess the halo effect really works”

The immense and immediate enjoyment of something regardless of quality, value, or originality, but rather prior reputation.

halo effect is when your girl / guy isnt very hot, but because of their personality, and how much they enrich you, this puts them in a class of their own.

The halo effect is a heavy metal rock band in the south east United States that preforms before the Blue Suites. There lead guitarist is a cool wrestler/lax bro is is a boss at guitar solos. He once had long hair and admired Angus Young but now he goes solo. He also shaved his head when he had really long hair and that took big balls.

And the same for Halo, with Halo 1 being amazing, and Halo Reach being downright shit.
