Mariannette: Its a very true statement......same as overweight people get treated not as well as their slimmer counterparts.
I think there was a study done where some women deliver a speech.
The audience were more inclined to listen and believe what the slim good looking woman said, rather than the woman without make up or the overweight women even when what they were saying was more factually correct. But thats a huge issue to go into at this time of night especially when I have to be up and out of the house by half 7 with the dog walked before then too......

(should have been in bed hrs ago )


I remember a phone in years ago on the Gerry Ryan show with a caller complaining that she was not let into a nite club because the bouncer said she was ugly.
Anyway there followed a huge discussion on whether people would want their children to be intelligent or good looking and it was split about 50/50 which I was really surprised at. Seemingly most people believe that if your good looking you get treated better.

kidatheart: Oh I dunno, I like to believe that I treat everyone pretty much the same, unless I really like them, then it's different.

Everyone desrves to be treated well, and get a kick in the pants once in a while too, good looking or not.


I like to think the same of myself...but I doubt I do blues

Where is this hierarchy and 'pretty girl' stuff coming from. She has no history of drama posts. Some of the people Jimbo and I are thinking of did nothing else other than post 'poor me' threads. I think it's funny that some people are bothered by the fact that girl wasn't criticised...

Nite

iv seen it in person, those that have been blessed with good looks tend to get places quicker while the rest of us have to work twice as hard to get to the same place. I would much rather be intelligent with a decent personality than be gorgeous and have a personality like a dishcloth dunno

Previous drama is not the issue. Its previous people who have posted "Good Bye" threads and have not been met with niceties

vinny1967: Or what we think we learn
Yeah possibly. In fairness Macca was sniffing for a long time so if that was her ploy it worked


No sniffing at all, we talk a bit on facebook and have done for a while...your initial dig on this thread was aimed at me because i give people stick for putting up threads like this, i didn't give her stick because i didn't want to, simple as that grin if you read the thread from the start you'll see that a few gave a few cheeky replies like usual so i don't see why you brought it up..oh wait i can doh

Plus she's not a regular poster and her reason for wanting to leave was genuine and not a knee jerk reaction resulting from an argument on a forum and trying to see how many will want her to stay..

Anyway she got a date...all's well that ends well wave
