That's certainly true, and if you can, you should improve your first impressions (plastic surgery, fashion, and later genetic cosmetics I hopefully imagine). Of course charisma also includes a whole lot of other things (psych, NLP) and that is quite a rabbit hole, but a worthwhile one.
But for things you can't change, I wouldn't quite worry. Because you can't change it. There are too many things you can change, why worry about being taller?
For statistical analysis, you are absolutely right. For personal growth, that statistic is probably irrelevant.
- M_Grey 10y agoThat's pretty much true, and even when it isn't there's no way to tell except in hindsight. It's best to give your full effort and as you say, try to relentlessly self-improve, because that at least has some hope of working. Unless you want to be a female F500 CEO, then you're out of luck, which is a sad thing to be saying in in this millennium.
- sokoloff 10y agoOut of luck is a bit strong. 22 of the S&P 500 companies have a female CEO. While that's far from balanced, it's also far from "out of luck", IMO.
- M_Grey 10y ago>Unless you want to be a female F500 CEO, then you're out of luck... Of which, only 4 are female, and that's what I explicitly was talking about, as opposed to S&P. To be honest though, 4.4% of S&P CEO's, when women are a bit more than 50% of the population is almost as ugly as .8%.
