How Being Attractive Can Ruin Your Career (See)

Do you consider yourself an attractive man?...

Then you have to read this..A new study suggests being handsome may not always work in a man's favour. This is more so when it comes to his career.

It claims good looking men get less job offers.

The research further states that attractive men are less likely to be given a job in a competitive workplace because they intimidate bosses.

Marko Pitesa, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland. says'. It's not always an advantage to be pretty, 'It can backfire if you are perceived as a threat.'

In Pitesa's study, it was male attractiveness in particular, rather than female beauty, that made the most difference.

If the interviewer expected to work with the candidate as part of a team, then he preferred good-looking men. However, if the interviewer saw the candidate as a potential competitor, the interviewer discriminated in favor of unattractive men.

The results of the research suggest that interviewers were not blinded by beauty, and instead calculated which candidate would further their own career."
