I think there is an element of truth to this. I’ve been in two firms where obese partners had such self image issues that it created problems throughout the department. From adultery to insecurity to ego trips, not to mention the dishonesty in promotions and compensation and quality controls that resulted
and, you owe an extra 10% tax for being ugly
I don’t know how true this is. Some of the best sales people I’ve known weren’t particularly good looking.
Most doctors are average looking.
Same thing with lawyers.
As a life long recipient, all I can say is yes it is true us good looking people get more and get paid better (while also more easily getting hired for jobs etc).
As you can see humility may be a trait that could at times be mistakenly projected onto my lovely beautiful self. ;-) HAHA. I so, however, try to add intelligent, ironic humor as a bonus to make up for this. :)
Being tall doesn’t hurt either...
When I was pg with my second child years ago, companies could place you on unpaid maternity leave any time they wished. My boss took advantage of this telling me on my last day that at least he wouldn’t have to look at my “broadening ass” any more. The day after I left he had a new female boss who took over all the hiring and replaced me with someone who was not only a minority but she was permanently obese. She stayed in that job until she retired many years later. Served him right.
Okay. I have to say while looks matter, people are people and I personally love ‘em all no matter what the heck they look like. (except liberals :-). haha.
Ability is great, but the charisma to get other people on board with ones ideas and plans is no slouch.
Distribute the wealth! We can’t beautify the ugly. We can only deface the beautiful!
Give them a bad nose job. Scar their faces.
Coin 2: Good looking/attractve people often have intrusions into their privacy, and are also pressed into over-performing which may lead to exhaustion.
