We have known since time immemorial that attractive people, men and women, have a slight leg up in life.
How is this news, and how is this surprising?
- leobg 3y agoA leg up? Interesting choice of words
- pedalpete 3y agoNot only more attractive people (both men and women) but taller, I believe thinner, are also automatically get a leg up. Beyond just physical appearance, I'm sure (as Elizabeth Holmes may have leveraged) voice tone, gaze, and other non-genetic or alterable genetic traits also play a factor. But we all have to play the hand we are dealt. Also, lets not forget that those VCs who are doing the investing are also likely in the more attractive side of the equation. For people who did not win the genetic lottery, it probably feels like the game is fixed against them in every direction. I believe this may have been a benefit in virtual settings where height, and many other physical attributes are not as easily judged. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4342156/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4342156/
