I think what this all shows is that society in general clearly values beauty. We can tell ourselves that it doesn’t matter and it’s whats in the inside that counts the most, but that’s just ugly people trying to make themselves feel better.
Every study has shown that more attractive people get better opportunities, get hired more, higher pay, you name it…
Does it suck? Sure, if you’re not high on the looks scale, but that’s how it’s always been and I don’t see it ever changing.
Regarding how people are even if you know them, it still boils down to what people look since everyone can see if without knowing a thing about someone…
I found this article funny when it was first posted…goes back to the reality in society that looks matter a lot, most of the time, more than whatever you do or are good in, especially for girls/women.
