[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is hilarious.  Ok, I am going to say it -- I get a lot of compliments about my appearance.  I am always gracious about it, but I do.  That being said, I am a lawyer and am pretty smart.  I have to admit though, that I know that my appearance helps me tremendously.  I know that I can be coy and play to the audience.  So, there you go, I went into a tough profession, but have used my looks to my advantage.[/quote]

How do you feel about that?

You're not to blame (if that's the right word). But it's still an unfair advantage, as there are plenty of smart women w/o the looks who are coming in second . . . or third.

What if your daughter was the Plain Jane?

So I don't think it's hilarious at all really.  Men still have the control in your world, I'm assuming, and while you're smart, it's your looks that are more helpful to you.[/quote]

Bitter?  Do think she could be a lawyer on looks alone?  She is being honest about the world we live in.  You are in denial.[/quote]

[b]It's always the "bitter" comment[/b].  You couldn't find something a bit more creative?

I am not bitter.  I worry about the next generation.  If women are proud of the fact that their looks are getting them ahead, something's wrong with how this world is run.  MEN run the world - plain (Jane) and simple!

Again, if YOUR daughter were overlooked for a position b/c although qualified, she just didn't have the looks (although you'd never hear that), how would you feel?

Let's face it. Lawyers are a dime a dozen in this area.  So is it any wonder that those with "the look" will climb faster?  I'm not saying PP 1 is stupid.  But I do have a friend in corporate law who tells me ALL THE TIME that if her looks started to fade (she is very attractive), she'd be replaced in a heartbeat.  in a heartbeat

So bitter?  no - as I am surrounded by some intelligent and beautiful friends

but to be proud of the fact that you're climbing b/c of your looks?  pathetic[/quote]

Interesting.  I don't recall asking anyone if they were bitter in quite some time.  Do you get this a lot?  Attractiveness really does come from within, and if you harbor a chip on your shoulder, you wil be considered ugly regardless of your innate looks.  A smile goes a long way, and I am very proud that my attitude makes me more attractive.   It isn't just a male thing either, females prefer to deal with people who seem are attractive.  Note the origin of the word.[/quote]
