[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t have a single overweight, unattractive person in leadership at the large, publicly-traded company where I work.  Everyone is fit and average to above average in looks, but no one is incredibly good looking.

Being unattractive may hurt, as may being too attractive.[/quote]

Correlation does not equal causation. People in leadership roles are generally disciplined and focused. They tend to stick to a good diet and exercise regimen.[/quote]

Over a certain age, especially for women, that look is not solely discipline and focus, it's putting a lot of time and money into the salon and anti aging treatments. [/quote]

That is discipline and focus. [/quote]

I'm not negative about that stuff, but it's not. The work I do in the gym takes discipline and focus. Paying someone to make my face or hair better doesn't.  [/quote]

It is really. It's committing to go back there on a regular basis and not missing an appointment inorder to prevent the greys and wrinkles from come back.

For example, I look much better when I get my hair and eyebrows done at the salon every two weeks. I  kept that up for like 6 months and then I was like " eff it, I will just wear buns to work". Money was not the issue here. It was the commitment to a certain standard and the hours it would take me. I'd rather just sleep in longer.

I have friends who are more committed to that upkeep. They are more committed to being thin as well and make better food and exercise choices.

Except for a few exceptions, they are more committed in other standards they set for themselves too.[/quote]
