from what i've seen, Determination is the most appealing freature women look on men and resilience the least one.\n\nSo i think some women that hold one or more of this features will not find attractive in a man to have the same feature, they would rather go for the "compliment argument": between men, they would chose the one who reinforces what they lack.\n\nBut to each is own. The outcome of such choice of features or feature can not be predicted since every woman is different.

i would guess because you're comfortable at work.  you're all on equal terms.  but when you go to, say a bar, you are there to meet women and so insecurity creeps up.

My boss married a girl that was a full head taller than he was.. \n\nIf it wasnt for his "commanding personallity", it may have been funny :)  But, we respected him and she was a cutie, and we never gave it a thought about it, because they were happy together...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

It would depend on your face and body type.

I work in HR and conduct interviews and do a lot of hiring for a big company. Studies have shown that attractive people get paid better and get more promotions than unattractive people. With that said, I have never hired a person that was not the most qualified just because of their looks. I have hired several people that were overweight. \nMy suggestions to you are to dress professionally for your interview, get your hair done, and most importantly show confidence in yourself. If possible, wear dark colors such as black that will make you look slim. Obviously, don't wear white or horizontal stripes. I can't stress this enough, it is so important to believe in yourself and show the employer that you could care less if you are overweight because you know you are the best candidate for the job. When I am interviewing people, it is their self confidence that shines through the most, not their weight. \nI have hired overweight people that are confident that they can get the job done over attractive people that seemed like they were BSing me or seemed nervous and apprehensive. Good luck!

In my experience stereotyping has no affect on a woman's actual performance.  It can and does affect the opportunities she is given to perform and the way her performance is viewed by others.  If a supervisor assumes all women are emotional and flighty he won't put them in decision making or challenging positions, this denies women a fair opportunity to show what they can do.  Human beings make mistakes, it's inevitable, that's why we have quality control procedures and redundant checks, but a man with a prejudice against women will let men slide, but, when a woman makes the same mistake under the same circumstances, he'll make an issue of how this proves that women don't belong in the work force.  I spent 20 years in the U.S. Navy, I've worked for and with women, and I've had women work for me.  My experience is that people are people, some good some bad, some talented some not, some that were a joy to work with and some I wanted to toss over the side, to evaluate a worker by anything other than performance, especially by things as meaningless as gender or skin color, is to rob you, as a supervisor, of a potentially invaluable asset.

In general, yes.\nObviously there are some jobs where appearance is not an issue. If my employees do not take pride in themselves, I wonder if they will take pride in their work. It is only 1 criteria in making a promotion decision.

It simply means that decisions about who the company hires are based only on the qualifications of the applicant. They won't take into account your sex, age, religion, handicaps, race, color, marital status, or criminal record. BUT you still have to be a certain age to work. Usually it's 15 years old (with restrictions.)

There is no doubt that negros and women are not treated equally in the US labor force. But forcing a company to hire a set amount of each is crazy. The job should go to the person who is most qualified.

Let's face reality, the world is kinder to those who are pretty/handsome.  How many beautiful people do you know that are poor (not by choice)?  Unrewarded genius is one of the most common things in this world.  Equal opportunity employers are rare but they are out there.

The simple answer is "yes".\nAlmost any balanced combination of features is attractive to some segment of the male population, and everyone has their own preferences.  In general, go with what you like, creating a look that feels good to you.  If you feel attractive, it will be more attractive to others than any specific features.

As long as you are not very ugly, look doesn't really matter. But sure you have to possess other qualities such as good personality, smart brain, etc.

yes in some cases.women do have an edge over men if their bosses are men as men tend to have a soft corner for women.but if their bosses are women then their wont be any chance for the women.

Yes, but you have a lot of work to overcome our initial superficial thoughts when we first meet you.  If you're an awesome guy, be confident, be outgoing and show the ladies that looks (or height) aren't the most important thing.

It depends on the female some like big and some like small. I feel whatever size you have does not matter as long as you can work it and go downtown.

"As an employer, do you find physically attractive person to be of advantage to the organisation ?"\n\nI think that's a very good question to put in ur questionnaires !\n:)
