so i stumbled across this artical about height in men, and it showed some pretty startiling results on things such as weight and how attractive people were and how it affects their pay.
I knew height affected pay (which was stupid anyway), but this artical showed things like how good you looked affected pay, and weight to, for both men and women.
I remember both dudemon saying how he was unable to get a job because he looked a bit off, and UCMan saying the world hates bald men.
well it looks like if you don't look attractive you WILL be penalised, in lower salary or probably not even getting the job in the first place!
scientifical studies have shown that

How handsome or pretty you are deemed to be also affects your pay packet - men considered to be unattractive earn 15% less, equal to £3,000 on a salary of £20,000.
Tall men earn 5% more than average men and 10% more than short men.
Fat women earn 5% less
Researcher Mr Harper said his findings confounded popular belief. "We found looks were as important for men as for women."
however i think all this might be in the sales and marketing department, but im not entirely sure.
