, any woman who wants to be more successful would spend a reasonable amount of effort and resources seeking to maximize her attractiveness as a way of enhancing her competitive positioning in a broad range of activities.
Maybe that's a better approach than a good college degree and solid experience. But if you spend all your life thinking you're being judged by how you look, you're going to a) spend way too much time thinking about appearances, b) be boring on any subject beyond clothes-hair-nails-face, and c) probably slit your wrists when you get to an age where you will never again be the most attractive woman in the room.
It's a sick way to live, and I personally won't do it. That kind of success I don't want or need; the price is far too high.
Female stars have faced this quandry for eons. There are many aging female stars bucking this trend and are quite successful at it. I cite the wonderful Academy Award® winning actress, Meryl Streep.
