This past weekend, (Saturday night, I believe) ABC aired a special entitled:

	LOOKS

which discussed how our looks affect us in society. I found a very
interesting point ( that I suspected for some time) is that more
attractive people tend to get better jobs, promotions, and pay. In
fact if two people are at the same experience and competence levels,
and are performing the same job, the more attractive of the two will
most likely be earning a higher salary than the less attractive person!
So, taking this into consideration, maybe physical attraction and monetary
attraction are directly related.
