ICD-9 code for being UGLY!


Should there be a medical code for being beaten with the ugly stick? Apparently researchers believe so. Recent research from University of Texas showed that ugly people will make


$230,000 less in their lifetime than attractive people. There is a group now claiming that ugly people should get disability for their inherited ailment. This is a cool article and worth looking at in today's NY Times. Similarly, I wrote an article in July. Here it is....

Are prettier people more successful?

Are attractive people more successful than unattractive people? Most research to date points to an answer of yes.

We were all told, what is "on the inside" counts more. Was that all a hoax created by an ugly person? You make the call.

CNN reported the following:
FACTS:
Attractive students get more attention and higher evaluations from their teachers
Attractive patients get more personalized care from their doctors
Attractive criminals get lighter sentences than less attractive convicts

Attractive people make 5% more in their pay.

In a collaborative study by Michigan State University and University of Texas, financial earnings were examined:
Good-looking people made the most money
Average looking people made 3-8% less
Plain looking people earned 8-18% less

Similarly, a London Guildhall University survey of 11,000 33 year olds showed unattractive men earned 15% less than attractive men. Plain women earned 11% less than their attractive counterparts.

Even studies of babies show that children look and study more intently at an attractive face than unattractive one.

Do I think everyone should run out to have cosmetic surgery to save their careers? Obviously not. But you should feel comfortable in your own skin. Confidence is so important to creating an attractive aura.

I have seen shy introverted women who had very low self esteem transform themselves to totally confident women after a breast augmentation or abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Sometimes all it takes is that little fix that you need to take that next step. Most importantly do it for yourself.
