Good Looks opinion

I think a number of studies have shown that good-looking people do get given more breaks than ugly people - they are more likely to be hired for jobs, for example, and more trouble is taken trying to revive them after a heart attack.
-
Yea, a little. But ultimatly, the cards fall randomly.
-
If they are good looking, and compitent, I can see them doing better than someone who wasn't as good looking, but just as smart as the other one. Where I live, on the news they were talking about restraunts in my city only hiring attractive waiters and how it was wrong. Just an example of how better looking people can get ahead.

I'd say so to some small scale, but there are people who don't care about looks in this world when it comes to things like jobs, and there are disadvantages of good looks and advantages of being... well... ugly, too, just like everythign else.

I don't know if this is of any significance or not, but -The calendar thing is back next to the topic in the forums.

Yeah, you know what? At the beginning of my post it gave me the option to put a lil calendar thingy. Not sure what it's for, I just clicked it. Maybe sdp deleted it again cuz I don't see it now.

Personal Hygeine goes a looong way.
Taking care of ones teeth is a giant part of that. I won't hire research assistants if they don't keep themselves very clean, and I mean hair always clean, teeth brightly clean. In labs where everyone is in close contact, or if you have to be in a small space with someone for a prolonged period of time, cleanliness plays a huge role.

Then why are you clicking on it if you don't know what it's for? :confused:
Clicking on the Calendar checkbox puts your thread on the Calendar as an "Event".

It's how people learn. What, you've never done anything unless you knew the outcome? COME ON.

I wasn't mad at you or anything. The words didn't come off right.Hell yeah, I click away all the time. That's why I'm the IT guy at work even though I've never taken a IT class in my life!

In my day we used to read the manuals. But you young whippersnappers can't be bothered, and have to try everything by trial and error. No wonder no-one produces a decent manual nowadays.
-
The internet is my manual. I do lots of searches. I'm very observant. I've watched others and caught on. I click on everything to see what's behind the button. Of course I avoid hitting the apply button or things like that unless I know I'll be OK.But when push comes to shove I'll defer to a consultant but I like to watch over their shoulder. Show me once and I won't need you again.

I'm just being a querulous old man. :smile:

Inever read manuals, I just do it.

Well, if you're an ugly kid the Media won't give a crap about finding you, but if you're a pretty little kid, they'll do all they can.

Are you referring to the missing Brittish girl who disappeared in Portugal?

lmaoYes attractive people get more ahead in life i think.With the exeptions of geniouses like bill gates and albert einstein.The regular ugly people dont really get anywhere much.And personal heigene doesn't matter much either.My best friend never takes a bath and never washes his clothes, and people still say he's hot.Facial looks make a hell of a difference.Just heigene can make someone look "better"But not always "good"And hot people don't even have to have heigene and their still hot.Because hot people, it kinda works like, if you wake up and see your hot wife in the morning, she still looks "cute" in a weird way, and thats cuz even oily hair and a puffy face can't make her look bad
