[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 460699, member: 7083"] Actually the study showed that people with similar education and experience, the more attractive one will get the job even if the other one is slightly more qualified. It wasn't a "companies don't hire ugly people, period" kind of thing. Looks have been important always. Do I agree with it? No. Does it bother me that we can't have a female entertainer who isn't starving herself to fit Hollywood's ideals, or that doesn't show everything off in every video and performance? Absolutely. Especially because that same standard isn't applied to men. My point was, that looks are so important in our society is nothing new. [/QUOTE]
