[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beauty fades.  Attractiveness is mutable.  I've been on both sides of the line (along the lines of "she has such a pretty face").  Depending on my weight I'm "hot" or an untouchable "fat chick."  Cultivate your mind.  With any luck you'll always have that.[/quote]

This...but I wouldn't say I'm HOT stuff when slender, but I am attractive when thinner and I get much more attention. When my weight gets up there I am treated totally differently-sometimes I just become invisible to people or they act like it.

Looks matter. They open doors. It definitely helps in fields like sales, but I think it helps in just about every field. That said, they do fade. I am lucky I was never HOT growing up and if anything my looks probably improved when I grew into my features. I have friends who were HOT STUFF growing up and when they lost that due to weight gain or wrinkles or whatever they fell apart-not a breakdown, but just depressed over it and can't seem to get over it. All of us who couldn't get by on looks growing up set our sites high on grad school and beyond and we planned out careers early on. My very attractive friends seemed to assume they would marry rich and when that didn't happen they tried to find themselves and eventually go back to school.[/quote]

I am overweight. When I was skinny, I was considered pretty hot. I was treated so much differently back then. Now, i regularly get the "you have such a beautiful face" or "you carry your weight so well". It is pretty sad. I was in recruiting and most of my colleagues were attractive women or gay men. I think it is so sad that I was given preferential treatment when i was more slender. Our society is disgusting. [/quote]
