[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Studies show that people associate more fit, attractive people with assumptions of having higher IQ or being more nice. Its instinctual and particularly prevalent among children. The experiments done show that children will think the attractive person is nice while the unattractive and overweight one is mean. So even if people don't consciously choose not to hire an obese nanny, if they watch to see who their children prefer it will tend not to be the obese nanny.

Some people prefer not to hire an obese nanny because of the physical requirements of the job or desire to have the kids outside playing. Others feel that an obese nanny is a poor role model for kids. [/quote]

Most kids I have met have decided if someone was nice based on how they treated the kids and if it was not a "fake act" being put on. Kids know when someone is faking being nice to them, and they usually do not care about looks as much as adults do when they are not in a group setting like a classroom, where peer's might affect how they end up feeling about a person.[/quote]
