What does it mean?
When we talk about looks and appearance, what does it mean? It has nothing to do with your skin color, or color of your hairs and eyes. It means how present able you are…your appeal. Nobody is concerned about your height, weight or waist-line but you should look healthy. You should look clean.The definition or parameters of looks and appearance differs from profession to profession and industry to industry. Like for a sports person, looks or physical features hardly make any difference but for a model, for a front office executive, it is important. In other professions it is an added advantage but it affects. For example in sales it is important to get revenue…to complete the target but good looking people get an advantage of getting an early appointment with the client than not so good looking people.
Then, what about knowledge and experience? It might sound sarcastic but it is true and logical that to know your experience I must get your profile. To know your knowledge, I must interact with you…I must speak to you. But, to look at you…to look at your appearance…I don't need your permission or I don't need to interact with you. Who don't want good looking people in his team? Who don't love to interact with good looking people? So friends, to an extent we get bias, even before taking an interview, just by looking at the candidate. Good looking people get more opportunities to prove his or her worth than not so good looking person.
A Proof; According to a Survey done by Virgin Management Consultancy in Asia, European Countries, Australia and USA,The penalty for unattractiveness is around -15% for men and -11% for women. That means, if average male earnings are 60,000 USD Per Annum then an otherwise identical male who is unattractive will earn just 51,000 USD Per Annum, a penalty of 9,000.
Tall people earn more than short people.This pay gap is 10% for men and 5% for women. Only men benefit from being tall. They earn around 5% more than others.Women who are obese are penalized earning 5% less, but obese men are not.
When I think about how my life has changed of enhancer jewelry since the rape and how unique rape of tin cup rope pearls is I feel more alone and isolated than ever before. Because I'm different now. Because someone raped me. My body was violated of freshwater pearl and turquois. So if you can't bring yourself to imagining what if it were you - at least imagine how difficult it is for survivors. We don't need to dwell on details of the attacked by pendant enhancers. It is truly unimaginable. I understand why people can't imagine themselves in my shoes and why it's difficult for many people to experience empathy. So let's skip that part and fast forward to what it's like for me now. Don't look at what was done to me, look at what was taken from me.
