I wasn’t all that surprised that someone has done this kind of experiment. I think that it is a good one to perform and actually see how far beauty will get you in the work place. I was a little surprised that the front desk jobs and the maintenance jobs are actually close together and both are similarly influenced by beauty. I was not surprised that there was a difference between front desk jobs and housekeeping jobs. It is obvious that when someone enters your hotel they don’t want to be greeted by an “ugly” person. Right away it is a turn off, and all they want to see is a nice, young, and beautiful lady smiling and waiting to greet them.
I do believe this is true because all of those guys that work in that office or building don’t want to see her there. They just want her to be at some bar serving them drinks, so that they can hit on her without really worrying about a lawsuit. I definitely don’t think that this is fair. Women should be able to work whatever job that they want to and not worry about being harassed.
I personally don’t care if they are attractive or unattractive in the end I will judge them by how well they diagnosed me, served my food, or just was able to help me with my problems. I do think subconsciously I have a bias towards unattractive people and their influence on the work place. I wish that I didn’t.
Male’s jobs aren’t based off of looks because the jobs have to do with the knowledge that they have over the topic and the jobs are normally masculine jobs. Males also have a strong hold on the computer science and programming area and they don’t have to look good for that job since they sit in front of a computer and have minimal interaction with other humans. While women seem to have jobs that they need to look good to get the customers to come and buy from them. Women are also judged more than males because women look at women and judge their outfits and makeup and stuff and then males look at women and see how hot they are or how ugly they are.
