Looks and Success
I knew there was a reason why the uni recently hired our new new school secretary from Sweden. It's because she's hot:
Beauty may be more than skin deep after all. New research suggests that good-looking people do better in exams and thus probably in later life, than the plain or downright ugly.
In the study, better-looking students achieved superior results in both oral and written exams -- the latter marked anonymously -- suggesting that success is not just down to teachers favouring attractive students but to superior natural ability
As the article suggests, I'm thinking this correlation is related to confidence. Looks can also affect your jobs prospects:
A survey last year of 11,000 33-year-olds by London Metropolitan University found that unattractive men earned 15 per cent less than those who were deemed attractive, while plain women earned 11 per cent less than their prettier colleagues.
That's blatant sexism. They're hiring men based on their looks! I'm so appalled. Meh. Now for the obvious result:
Previous research has shown that better-looking people have more success at job interviews and in finding a spouse.
Who would have thought?

So that's my problem!
I'll never be a pretty boy like Mr Dale Holborow...
*sob*
thats "pretty MAN" actually...
dont feel bad about not being as pretty as me though mate, there are approximately 3.2 billion other men on this earth who are destined to suffer the same fate as you...
We are doomed to live in the shadow of...the gimp.
Any time a girl asks me about Dale Holborow, I always say
"Picture Burt Reynolds with less hair and a bigger chin."
True story.
Its all bullshit, otherwise I would've got all 7's for my results the other day, instead of the average crap I did receive.
Hahaha, it's not 100% guaranteed, martini.
You mean Reynolds in his old stuff, or his latter stuff eg when he plays the seedy old politician in Striptease. Oh, I mean, I heard Reynolds was in that film...
