You aren't the only one that uses reverse "lookism" I find.How many times do people see attractive women at the top and think "hmm,I wonder what she did to get there?" even though it is obvious that the woman is a hard-worker,a go-getter,and a smart person that worked endlessly to get where she is.
I definitely believe that we are all judged by our looks and weight. I work part-time at a Manpower Office, which I won't say where it is located, but my manager puts notes on the applications. Most say too fat or too heavy or not attractive. So -- these people who would probably be good workers, never get the chance to even interview with our customers. It's not fair and I'm sure she could get in trouble if anyone found out, but only "we" know. I'm not sure what will ever change our perceptiong of judging people and believe it is out of hand. I'm overweight by 40#'s for the first time in my life and I'm sure other people judge me, because I feel so depressed over the weight gain myself. I retired and my knees both need replaced and can't exercise. Water exercise hurts my asthma, so have just given up. My family and friends love me just the way I am, so I feel very lucky.
