bill gates also doesnt have a degree so you can apply the "does a degree make you $$$" scenario here too

but is he not a successfull man that really is not "good looking". Some of the wealthiest People in the world are not good looking howqever all advertising tells us that you must look a certain way before you will be successfull.

WRONG.

i would say the most brightest are never beautiful: Trump, Gates, Oprah, etc.

now the thing w/ beautiful people alot of time especially w/ men is they are confident; but being over confident does leave you quite vulnerable sometimes to people smarter then you; who see right through your BS.

It is not a requirement, but it helps. A lot of times success is selling yourself. In big business, it takes confidence. If you know that you are good looking, then it comes through.
It also can be a handicap as well. If you are "pitching" whatever to a couple, the guy will feel the need to assert himself cause he sees his wife drooling...
It helps... Not always, but more times than not it helps...

I think it's actually the opposite. More successful people can afford better services...

Now, I throw this at you What is Success? Money,Health,Happiness, Carrer Goals..

Sammich

Success is all of those things... you can't be a successful doctor making 30k a year can you? you can't be a successful teacher being a substitute? ;)

u have to acknowledge that looks are often tied to ones self image and self confidence, the latter of which is easily seen by others.

Brandon C
11-14-2006, 10:01 AM
I think that success ius measured in one's self.

ShooterMcGavin
11-14-2006, 10:06 AM

Depends COMPLETELY on the person. Success is achieving the goals you set for yourself whether your goal is money, a certain job, working for yourself, etc.

I think its just how good one person is at something. The better you are at something, the more succesful.

And how many people did they screw over to get it? I think it depends alot on what your physical characteristics are, the way you think, and the unfortunate ability to screw over the right people at the right times. Of course that brings great success. Other people have good minds for what they do and achieve success without screwing over anybody, so it depends on the situation.

It depends on the job. Like, a fat ugly chick will not do so well in modeling, but the fat ugly chick may be a hell of an accountant.

i have to say something about that. shes actually pretty. she mabye a lil heavy set but shes pretty.

in alot of business that ive been in and others that i know of its all about looks. if you cant dress nice, smell good, and have confidence then you cant make it that far unless you go by your own rules and are extremely creative with your work or hobbies

Bill fucked over the guy who went on to start apple if I remember right. And donald is big on real estate, I gurantee hes fucked over alot of former property owners and plenty of buisness people on his way to the top.

Depends, sometimes just because they had a rich as father and a trophy wife mom. Thus they are good looking and possibly smart. But hell if I were in an upper level management position I would hire hot bitches all the time regardless of qualifications.

Trumps about to fuck over atlanta as he is rumored to be building a tower downtown. This will cause other real estate prices to go down, what a bitch.

first Trump building in Atlanta is Tru..

Secondly I would Hire the Most qualified person. Just cause there hot does not make them good actually it makes them more of a distraction to others. Now I married Hott not ugly....Thats just my choice..
