<p>As I do for you</p>
<p>Vehicle,</p>
<p>Showgirl? You probably shouldn’t have mentioned that. Every guy on cc wil now come to this thread and attempt cyber rape you :(</p>
<p>yes it has been proven that the pretty and the tall get more attention overall and higher salaries, you can thank evolution and society for that.</p>
<p>but honestly it’s not as prominent an issue as the scientists suggest.</p>
<p>and there has also been a discussion about ugly guys with hot girls, this is because the girls “trade” what they have in exchange for money. it’s another evolution thing. women want security, men want to reproduce. in todays world money=security and hot=hot</p>
<p>Looks do matter,but they are not everything. I think being attractive increases the chances of forming positive first impressions. Beautiful people do show the halo effect and are, on average, given many more perks than average and ugly looking people.</p>
<p>That being said, looks are only one piece of the puzzle. A nasty disposition can sway people’s perceptions of one another in a heartbeat, so can being incredibly dumb or any other slew of negative qualities.</p>
<p>I think being attractive helps you get your foot in the door, but your personality can either open it wide or slam it in your face.</p>
<p>I’ll never take anything seriously from a guy who names himself BananaSandwhich…</p>
<p>i’m a girl stupid. and look it up if u are too ignorant to believe</p>
<p>Career-wise, looks matter in certain industries like acting/modeling, etc. </p>
<p>Let’s say 2 women are Accountants. One is short, the other is tall. Why would the tall accountant get paid more if they have the same accounting abilities? Or let’s say 1 is chubby and the other is thin - once again, why would the skinny accountant get paid more ceteris paribus? </p>
<p>I understand we perceive attractive people as “better” in a way. I understand women get judged by looks a lot. But why would anyone be so impressed by the taller/thinner accountant to be willing to pay her a higher salary? For the sake of being nice to pretty people? 
</p>
<p>I’ll never take anything seriously from a guy who names himself ron paul</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone really cares about the height of a woman unless she looks like a tree stump. Some people think if a woman is too tall it distracts from her femininity. Don’t most men want to be taller than a women in heels?</p>
<p>I guess nobody will take the kid who names herself Plattsburgh Loser seriously. :(</p>
<p>it’s not an intentional thing. </p>
<p>tall people are seen as more professional, they are listened to more often, they don’t get interrupted as often and are literally “looked up to”</p>
<p>short people are the opposite they get overlooked and are taken less seriously</p>
<p>also fat people are paid less on average than skinny people because they are viewed as lazy and incompetent.</p>
<p>look at our CEOs. the majority of CEOs are white males with an average height of 6’3’’ and are almost never fat. compare that to the average male who is about 5’9’’ and are carrying around some extra luggage.</p>
<p>it’s the way humans work it’s not that people discriminate on purpose</p>
<p>hmmm… I don’t really know why I assumed you were a guy. I kind of thought only guys would name themselves after food.</p>
<p>edit: woah, did not realize how offensive that was until I posted it. Did not mean to imply you were fat or something.</p>
<p>i’m not offended or fat -_-</p>
<p>Good </p>
<p>I’ll take you seriously if you take me seriously- Deal?</p>
<p>Beautiful people, no matter what their profession is, get paid more than others because other people unconsciously put them on a pedestal. People try to get in their good graces by giving them perks like a higher salary, more promotions, leniency, greater kindness, etc.</p>
<p>From an evolutionary standpoint, this makes perfect since. People are extremely nice to beautiful individuals because doing so increases the chances of reaping huge benefits from associating with them, like the possibility of dating them or gaining them as a friend.</p>
<p>

<p>…says someone who has clearly never been in love.</p>
<p>Love is great. :-)</p>
<p>Oh I wish I never contributed to this thread, it made me feel worse. I’m short, slender, average-looking, but smart (mostly :)) and it sucks to know some tall big-boobed bimbo will get paid more than me for being…tall, big-boobed, and a bimbo?
No I really understand people being nicer to more attractive people, wanting to befriend them more, understand men being nicer to pretty women…but paying a pretty girl more than another girl for the same quality of work? A little depressing…oh well. Money isn’t everything. I understand why people are shallow, part of it we can’t help, and I probably am as well.</p>
<p>actually if a girl is “too pretty” it will probably hurt her in terms of income, since no one will be paying attention to her words 
</p>
<p>besides once you hit a certain level you are paid for how good you are, if you are one of the best they can’t deny you your $$</p>
<p>you girls have hijacked every thread :)</p>
