Study: Thin Women, Heavy Men Make The Most Money
- param 16y agoI used to be super skinny in school/college. Due to my engineering degree, my starting salary was more than what my dad's retiring salary was (and he was obese). Then as I overworked and gorged on pizza while working in the office late in the day, my weight started to increase. Now, I am 10 pounds overweight and earning much more than what I began with. Moral: Correlation does not imply causality.
- Mz 16y agoMy politically incorrect opinion is that what it takes for a woman to stay thin usually means living in a way that doesn't go along with having babies and devoting yourself to them at the expense of having a life of your own. Men can't get pregnant and generally don't devote themselves to their spouse/children at the expense of a career the way women frequently do. A "good husband and father" is generally one who makes good money, not one who quits work to care for the kids. A lot of married women have trouble finding the time to go to the gym and such. A woman who can manage to do so is probably not being treated like a domestic slave. In most cases, it is the "being treated like a domestic slave" thing that is what really hurts the ability of women to earn good money. Men generally aren't subjected to that. If they are neglecting their health to be slavishly devoted to something, it is usually slavish devotion to their career -- which typically does lead to more money.
