[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are a looking for a nanny for our first child. I told him be can do the majority of the work ( putting up the ad, picking the girls we want to interview, and corresponding with them) so my DH did just that. I realized that out of the 8-9 girls we interviewed, majority were young and attractive. We ended up hiring a young 20's girl who while a little chubby, is cute. I'm not insecure and trust my DH completely. A few of my girlfriends mentioned that my DH probably liked the idea of handeling the process so he could pick " pretty girls." I started to get curious so I came here. If my DH ( and any men) take care of selecting the women, do they purposely pick attractive women vs. unattractive? Qualifications are most imperative, but would they rather pick an attractive vs. unattractive nanny to interview? [/quote]

I'm a dude, haven't read all the responses.

There was a freakonomics podcast recently about "fundraising" and they interviewed an economist who studied this...it turns out that pretty women are the strongest/best fundraisers...over all.  And that is the result of an added pull just with men.  It's so strong, that even when you include women - who tend to donate more overall, but are not influenced by the looks of the fundraiser - it still puts pretty females out in front, but a lot, overall.

So, yes, unless your husband is gay, he is at some level responding to the looks of the nannies.  It may be subconscious and the less-attractive women may not have been any more qualified (or even as qualified) but I'm sure he was influenced by their looks.  [/quote]
