How can that POSSIBLY be a FACT when "better looking" isn't data criteria which can be deifinitively quantified?

Where can I find the factual research to back this up?

Places where better looking people are looked upon more favourably include:

The Hilton Group
Virgin Trains
The Walt Disney Company


It's not criteria that is directly stated in application forms for employment but if you stay at a Hilton, Travel with Virgin or go to Disneyland, they certainly don't employ people whom society would deem as not aesthetically pleasing.

This thread has been brilliant entertainment. The difference of opinion, the thinly veiled contempt and animosity has made great reading. I'm not talking about the 'bunnyboiler' or the 'old perv' either...........

But these are people on show and even if that shouldn't be the case, I can completely believe it. However I refuse to believe this would play a part in a job where, ultimately, you have to be VERY CLEVER or have worked you way up and you are not a public face of a business.

US's original post seemed to suggest attractivness gets you places as a general rule. I would disagree with that strongly. I COMPLETELY understand it being a factor in the jobs you've mentioned, even if thats a shame.

He probably used the words hot because it was on Facebook and he was trying to be down with the kids.

I actually agree with you there. I'm pretty sure his personal trainer daughter is at this moment far more mortified than either his wife or the junior legal he was coming on to.

My word you're an idiot.

Hang on, I'm not saying he's some dangerous sexual predator. Merely observing that it's quite an odd, silly thing to write about your own daughter.
A picture is being built of this man as a particularly silly, out of touch old fool who doesn't quite know the boundaries on social media.
If noting that makes me a an idiot, I'll live with that!

It's seeing the meaning of words as so rigid that's idiotic. It's down to how something is said and who is saying it. Saying someone is hot doesn't mean that you want to have sex with them.

Absolutely. It shouldn't happen, at all. If you're well read, that should be enough, but until society changes it's attitude, it'll happen. That's why protest and activism regarding such issues is a great thing.

Sadly people are told that looking a certain way will get them frowned upon unless they change themselves to suit others' requirements. One of the examples of the day being those awful "women, shave your legs so that people don't get repulsed when they see you" adverts. Certainly society needs to change.

Think you might be losing the crowd here...

Why do the majority of women wear makeup but men don't?....

Because society tells them that they need to wear it to look good.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Hopefully any bloke fortunate enough to be hanging out the back of her this weekend will have the presence of mind to give it an extra 10%, "Rocco-stylee".

You're wrong but if I'm going to get into semantics with anyone it's not going to be you.

Touché

You mean you've conceded that you can't win the argument with me.

Have a good weekend; let's hope we get the 3 points tomorrow.

Completely different, they are more than likely friends on Facebook, and it was an open comment, not a private message on Linkedin.

Scraping the barrel for weak comparisons is not going to pull the wool over my eyes.
