Stupid question but is it reality?

i’ve seen psychology studies doing this too that assert that being attractive or PRESENTABLE gives you an edge in the business world. it doesn’t matter if the interviewer is male or female (i think), because they are looking to hire someone that can be presentable to both sexes when they to their business deals and not necessarily someone who they just think is attractive, though i’d think that occassionally, an interviewer may hire someone of the opposite sex who is attractive simply because of that. nevertheless, attractiveness (regardless of gender) may be translated into “confidence” and “ability” during the interview.

i had a seminar last year and one of our guest speakers does cosmetic facial surgery. he says a good number of his clients are those who are looking to get into the business world but felt that they weren’t attractive enough. he said his clients felt that it makes a big difference in terms of trust and confidence if they were more attractive.

of course, you dont HAVE to be attractive to succeed in the business world. people point to donald trump as a good example.
