Not just in relationships, but in all walks of life, from jobs to jail sentences. Life is definitely not what you make it. Check out the article. 60 Alluring Facts about Human Attraction We already knew most of these facts anyway, but they're still interesting to read again...




1."Studies show that neonatal nurses tend to devote more attention to more attractive, healthy infants with normal birth weights. They devote less attention to less attractive babies with low Apgar scores."


"2. Researchers have noted that mothers tend to give more attention to their most attractive children, who then exhibit better traits and more socialized behavior than their less attractive siblings."

3. "Teachers expect more attractive children to perform well, leading to more attention, less punishment, and better grades. "


10. "Attractive defendants are not only less likely to be convicted, but when they are, they are likely to suffer less severe punishment than an unattractive person convicted of the same offense"


11. "A defendant accused of raping an unattractive victim is less likely to be found guilty than one accused of raping an attractive victim."


17. "Television news directors are far more likely to air the killing or injury of an attractive victim than a plain one."

So now that we know there's prejudice against unattractive people, what steps can those people take to mitigate it, and get ahead in spite of it?

I knew there was a reason I was messed up, the nurse in the hospital thought I wasn't as cute as the ginger kid two rows down. DANG.

Not only that, but men are seen as less valuable and attractive than women in general, so men also have a disadvantage. If you don't believe me, check the commercials on TV or magazines. Most include an attractive woman.

All that oppression. Must be hard being vastly over represented in the top echelons of the corporate and political oligarchy.

You can't possibly be serious. Ads have women in them because they're playing to a male audience. Like the de rigeur hot woman in the car ads. If you want to sell a guy something, make sure a hot woman is doing the selling.
