physical beauty

I’m reading an article from FACES magazine.  It’s about how far physical beauty can take you?

Here said that a study conducted by University of California researchers, found that good looking people take home 12% moolah that the average looking one. Here’s more, New York Time article in 2005 wrote that taller people earn an extra US$789 per added inch. An obese woman brought home about 17% less than slimmer one.

Talk about discrimination.

That being said, sort of put the unlucky one in the unfair position, aight. Well, include me too I ain’t that tall either. Put yourself as an hr manager interviewing a position to be a young exec. You have two resume with equivalence qualification. One looks like Scarlett Johansson, but the other one look like ekkk, female version of 50cent. Of course she picks the ‘Scarlett Johansson’. When I was doing my internship, the other boss said to me sarcastically, “Aain, tak de ke intern hot skit”. He was kidding, but theres truth in that, if I had to choose, if I am a marketing manager especially, I rather choose a  A- Hugh Jackman rather than an A scorer geek in the beauty and the geek. With shallow and stereotype thinking of people will listen to him while he talks and he looks confident he can do the job.

How about lawyer? Lagilah, if we’re talking about lawyer. The pretty one can even get away from a murder (not literally!) Well, could be literally too, go watch Basic Instinct.

I'm not saying, after u read this. You should go spend RM50,000 on a face lift or a liposuction to get the job. Just so you know, in the real world, appearance is important. Have a confident face that could spread positive energy (I made this up). People always discriminate! So dress up well. The first impression is everything, people do judge book by its cover.

p/s: so, final semester pakai handsome and cantik2, baru senior kot!

pp/s: saya ada satu lagi paper, mumumumu, benci.
