Quote From: atoews You bet! And I think that research has proven this over and over again. Just look at your high level managers and CEOs. How many of the men are tall and/or have lots of hair! Virtually all of them.
I have found myself experiencing reverse "lookism". Specifically, I consciously evaluate less attractive people as more hard working and smarter because of all the extra burden they have to endure to get where they are.
I disagree with Dr. Phil who says that good looks will get you in the door, but won't keep you there. Good looks pay off at all levels of the experience chain.
I agree with you. It is unfortunate but interesting.
My husband has always dressed nice, worked hard, been responsible etc. but I swear after watching him for over 35 years I believe it's his 6'2" height that let's him always come out 'smelling like a rose'. Everyone presumes he's smarter, more capable, richer, on and on and on.....
