I read about this in Time. Apparently it mostly just applies to males. Females are strangely unaffected by this.
Metrosexuals FTW.
Not unaffected, it's just the other way around.
Probably you are ugly and a female and have success, am I right?
So it's naturally that you didn't notice a downside from being ugly when it comes to your success.
If you are a female and want to be successful you NEED to be ugly.
If you are a male and want to be successful you have to be handsome.
(or well, at least chances are on your side then).
This is scientifically proven and confirmed.
I'm not kidding, I'm not shitting.
Can't have Pamella Anderson as President, u understand?
But Angela Merkel is doing a good job, look at her.
On the other hand, there is no super-ugly male president, they all look decent.
And look at Arnold Schwarzenegger.

PS: I'm not talking about women who get hired as a sexy secretary -- when women get hired for their looks it's usually a humiliating position in the end.
