It's sad but true. Sort of like evolution, it's survival of the fittest.... People who are more attractive are prone to get better jobs and hence when they have children they can better educate those good looking children who then get better jobs, make more $, marry good looking people, have good looking kids who grow up to get good jobs and marry more good looking people who have good looking kids who get good educations and hence good jobs. There are of course plenty of exceptions to this rule.....

Nope. Doesn't work for me anyway. Only if you're an actress or a model. It's easy to get service jobs, but they don't pay well. I'm sure in a lot of fields "pretty people" are more likely to face discrimination.
Btw, I'm short. Maybe some people earning more has more to do with height. Especially for tall women, because they look more masculine.

Im not sure if they earn more. But I have read in studying social psychology, that tall people are more likely to get a job over a short person. And, attractive people are more likely to be treated better by strangers.

YES: shown in many documents, here is one example:
"Good-looking, slim, tall people tend to make more money than their plain-Jane counterparts, according to a study released this month by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, with researchers finding that beautiful people tend to earn 5 percent more an hour than their less comely colleagues. " CNN

I can't cite specifics, but I have read many times that tall, thin, attractive people earn more money and have lower unemployment. Same goes for men with hair as opposed to balding men.

Yes, absolutely. Also, taller people earn more as well.

yes. Not only do they earn more, but they are given more opportunities, promoted quicker, given the good end of the stick.

yeah yeah yeah i've read the studies it's true, and less often get fined or go to jail, etc. etc. etc. That, and the fact I am a legal citizen of the US, is why when i go on a job interview or to court they always have this '**** for Brains' look on their faces...

Well I doubt it. Look at Bill Gates and Donald Trump. These guys could never get a job based on their looks alone.

Yes, that's true. Especially in America.
