Study (N=11K;20 years) finds attractive men more likely to attain better jobs & earn more than similarly attractive women. Attractive women had a slight advantage over unattractive women but men saw greatest benefits. For women being attractive is incompatible with stereotypes of leaders. “Women are held to a specific standard of attractiveness & are often punished when they fail to uphold that standard, but then they’re punished when they do—it’s a lose-lose situation.”

    80% of men trolling a dating site are unattractive? Seems like a pretty reasonable estimation to me. Like, you’re literally looking at the environment that we’d expect to most select for unattractive people. It’s literally a pile of respondents who can’t find a date, but want one. You could hardly find a more biasing source for the generation of this particular Snapple fact.
