Topic 1 - Appearances (Part 3)

Interesting facts

• University professors often give good-looking girls better marks in exams; male students tend to overestimate the intellectual qualities of pretty female students.
• In court cases attractive people get lighter sentences, unless they made conscious use of their beauty to get their own ends, in which case they might be more severely punished.
• Attractive people are seen by others as having a better personality, higher status, more likelihood of getting married, and being happier.
• Beautiful girls rarely become scientists; they tend to choose subjects such as languages, law and medicine.
• Women who have beautiful bodies often have less selfconfidence — they worry too much about keeping their
body perfect.
• Short men are less likely to get jobs than tall men and they receive lower starting salaries. In US presidential elections, the taller candidate nearly always wins. There may even be a connection between height and intelligence, as it seems that the same genes are involved in both aspects.

it is so funny. however, it is true, i agree with you miss spring-phan. people like to look at and contact with good-looking people and pay attention to them at the first sight, which give good-looking people more advantages. for me, i think it is unfair. sometimes people try to make them more beautiful or handsome but forget to make their soul nicer.

Wow, so interesting.As TLN said, it's unfair with some people who own to bad looking.But the majority of talent people belong to sub-level. How to solve this problem?

I don't think it's the big problem. I know some people who are successful and respected by everyone although they don't have the beautiful apperance. Meanwhile, many good looking people who don't have the good manner are ussually failed.
