I guess my real question about this study, Ardy, is -- I don't get it.
The fact that attractive people, male or female, get paid more, get jobs more quickly, get promoted (and probably elected) more easily -- that's not news. I'm not sure what the study is supposed to be saying, unless it's echoing work that was done decades ago.
The reason it set me off earlier is because the wording of initial post suggested that women (specifically, not men) should work hard on their appearance if they want to succeed. That is, women, more so than men, will be judged on their appearance and "should" be ready to compete on that level.
