Being treated better by men........

fteale

I find when I am podgier men ignore me, and when I am thinner they are rude (or obscene). I prefer the ignoring, actually. Women are definitely nicer when I am thinner, and when I wear make up and brush my hair too.

I actually had an inverse story in grad school. I told a professor I wanted take the Foreign Service exam to work in embassies overseas. He said, "Rob, you're very smart and will do great on the test, but you won't get past the interview." I was flabbergasted; I always thought I interviewed well and carried myself with a certain dignity, particularly when talking about my first love, politics. When I asked him why the interview would be a problem he pointed to one of the girls we were teaching (I was his grad assistant and helped teach his classes) and said, "Rob, the first and most important job of someone at the embassy is to be the face of America, and the State Department only wants the pretty faces..." Keep in mind this is not someone who was trying to put me down, the professor had been a mentor of mine for years and is a large part of the reason I went to grad school. He is right though, a pretty face with a bright mind is treated very differently than a brilliant mind and an ugly face. They say politics is show business for ugly people, yet it's still the prettiest of the uglies who tend to win...
