Yeah, you probably have heard / read about it. Being attractive in your outer appearance or physical looks does help you get to somewhere... and you probably have read from somewhere also that good looking people have better job opportunities etc etc
You might have also heard or watched the American Psycho where they mentioned about beautiful women can't be smart because they can easily get people to do things for them and they don't need to use their brains. Hence, overtime become less intelligent. And the not-so-attractive ones have to work hard to get things done on their own, hence more intelligent.
I read an article on BBC today which I thought was interesting. It gives a fresh perspective about looks and success...
A researcher in evolutionary anthropology, Professor Ruth Mace said, "But it suggests that how attractive you find someone is governed partly by how likely you are to be successful."
Haha....
Hmm....thoughts anyone?

Speaking of beauty, me and my cell group had a very wonderful discussion about it. The background of the discussion was about how media has shaped and defined "beauty", forcing modern woman to chase after an unreasonable goal.
It is some what true that looks will get you somewhere. However, it also depends on the profession u're in. If you wanna be beauty queen, of course beauty is definitely "the" element. But if you are a computer programmer like me, i guess the companies are more interested in your CV than your looks.
Sometimes it's not the beauty of a person that attracts people...it's the confidence, the personality and the character.
It maybe really unfair for "plain janes" to compete and be successful in this cruel and realistic world. But the bible says that
"The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."(1 Samuel 16:6-8).
It's really comforting to know the promises in the bible. I can boldly say, "who cares what the world thinks of me?? I have the creator of heaven and earth on my side, who has promised to give me a hope and a future! (Jeremiah 29:11)".
