Are you implying that for founders, female attractiveness is a poor signal for funding a startup, but male attractiveness is a strong signal?

- Spivak 3y agoThe answer to this lives at the bottom of a rabbit hole because there's too many confounding factors. Layer 1 for women's attractiveness is fertility signals but layer 2 is the means to acquire them -- eating well, managing weight (I don't mean just being skinny, gaining/losing weight a lot makes you lose fat in desirable areas which is why filler is so popular), exercise, skincare, makeup and the free time to get skilled at it, flattering clothes, plastic surgery, etc.. And all this stuff is a signal of overall social status.
