Right off the bat, I agree with the author that this is ridiculous... Everyone has a talent that they should develop and exploit, and blaming the good looking guy/girl in the next cubicle for your failures is unforgivable...<p>I read someone that those who are lookers at an early age tend to do better in life, and that's not because they are good looking, but because their good looks give them the confidence to do more... they make better salespeople, better salespeople of themselves and their skills...
Disagree! Symmetry/attractiveness indicates genetic traits which predispose individuals for success / survival / more options in selective mating. This could, if taken to an extreme, result in the dilution of the gene pool and the elevation of Hot or Not to some kind of Big Brother.
