Not necessarily true.   In a short T.V. news story I saw recently, it
was related that while more 'handsome' men tend to get better jobs,
promotions, etc.,  quite the opposite was true for women.  The more
attractive a woman is, the less likely she is to gain promotions,
especially in the higher echelons of a company.  The reporter, quoting a
recent study, stated that good looks in a woman were taken as a negative
indicator of business skills.
