    i see it in the hospitality industry. Women who are inexperienced but pretty are hired before experienced people who may not be as attractive. Im sure the same is evident in any customer service job.

    Attractiveness effects everything in life. Not just the workplace. You will be judged based solely on your looks everywhere you go, not just at the work place. Everywhere, if you aren't attractive? Than you know what I'm talking about, people will look down on you and make fun of you and treat you bad because to them because you are not beautiful you are not even human in their eyes. Fact. You wont be treated with much, if any respect at all no matter where you go . An attractive women. Everyone wants to be nice to. Everyone worships the ground she walks on even if she treats everyone like shit. She can get away with it, because she's beautiful and she knows it. They are used to having everyone kiss their ass and bending over backwards for them. They don't even appreciate it. They expect it, because their whole lives have been much easier than most. Just know that if you are ever nice to, or do anything nice for a pretty woman? Unless you too are attractive? It will NOT be appreciated, because they expect it from everyone. They demand it from everyone. It's NOT hard to see how and why they have this mind frame. If you are brought up your entire life with everyone always telling you how pretty and perfect and great you are, and everyone wants to be nice to you. Everyone wants to be your friend. Naturally you are NOT going to appreciate anything but expect it. An never care about anyone else or who they hurt.

      I agree with everything you said, but there is nothing we can do, right? Life was never fair, this is the reality. And honestly? I woudn't like to receive all the attention and the "friend requests" from people that are only interested in my appearence, it seems fake friendship to me. Beauty is not a thing that we can control. I think its better to put your energies on things that you can control, its more productive. Sorry for my bad english, btw.

    One thing for sure if you are an attractive woman, you have no chance to get that job if your interviewer is a less attractive woman. It’s because of jealousy but also because she thinks that you must be dumb. When the interviewer is a man you have way higher chances to get a job. They always tell you the decision is not personal but it’s always personal!

    • @ITIsFunnyDamnIT
      @ITIsFunnyDamnIT Před 4 lety +15

      The same rules apply to ugly people as well when the interviewer is a man. They will hire a pretty woman based solely on her looks and there are some female employers, if they are attractive they will only hire other attractive females because they feel only beautiful people represent their companies image. I have seen female employers discriminate against anyone they thought was ugly. If only you beautiful girls / women had to literally walk in the shoes of an ugly woman. You would see that the way you are treated even if not always good is still a hundred million times better than ever being ugly

    Appearance is important to those who people want to work in health care industry. I have seen a lot of extreme overweight nurses, dietitians, and doctors, and I look down on them because if they can't take care of themseves, how they educate their patients and other people.

That hurt and instead of yelling at them and saying shits like you did to me, I improved myself and controlled my diets. What I should eat and what I should not eat. I am 36 years old, but I feel strong and more energy than 10 years ago. Before giving bad reactions, try to improve yourself first.

      You shouldn't look down on people anyway, but I understand that you cannot take advice of those who themselves don't follow them seriously. There's a saying "Before telling someone to do something, do it yourself".

      @@nazerkebizhanova6649 Thank you for your response. I only look down on overweight/obese nurses because these people have good knowledge of food and nutritions. They should apply their knowledge and discipline themselves so that they can convince patients to have good life styles. How can extremely overweight nurses open their mouths to tell overweight people to eat these and that or avoid these and that. We need to be realistic.
