They did the same thing with fake interviewees. They even went so far as to have the beauty claim to not have any of the prerequisite skills and the men would say, "Oh well, you can learn on the job. When can you start?" At the same time, they would brush off the very qualified plain-looking girl.

This is just a fact of life. People are more attracted to attractive people. However, in a relationship, like Denny says above, it would get really old dealing with somebody selfish or stupid.
This is a cancer eating away at our society. Unfortunately, when having children comes into the equation, people, especially women, want what is best for them. They know how difficult it is to not have the physical attributes to be happy - to be appreciated, hired and pursued - and any other thing that makes one life fun, satisfying and interesting.

Consequently, they are mainly interested in attracting the type of man who will provide these genes. Only women who are either not interested in having children or already have them from such men will even consider other men. Even then, they are often more favorably disposed to the hunks - but perhaps a little more skeptical.

Of course, Eleanor Roosevelt wasn't either.
Inner beauty is difficult for most to see. Many don't even realize that it exists.

Not so. I think inner beauty, in the form of grace and warmth and a sense of peace, tend to be obvious to everybody--for it, too, is extraordinarily rare. The problem when people think they have inner beauty but really don't.

Oh, I am sure they can be very polite to Brad Pitt or Paris Hilton. However, to have social skills, one must be polite to all people. This is beyond the capability of most good looking people. They have been raised to believe that people who aren't good looking are inferior and they act accordingly.

You continuous generalizations - especially those regarding women, reveal you to be a young man with very little real world experience. Perhaps instead of posting such drivel ad nausem you would consider getting off the computer and actually meeting some people?

I don't agree at all. It is quite common, but seldom recognized and in our shallow society, not appreciated.
