Being too beautiful can be a problem. Something that we never thought we would say but here it is. It is also quite ironic considering that we spend almost half of our lives trying to look beautiful. More worryingly, a doctor might perceive an illness in a good looking person as less serious. The research also shows that good looking people are also generally seen as less approachable. Online dating site, OKCupid, recently reported that people with flawless profile pictures tend to get fewer dates than people with quirky and less-perfect pictures. The research just points out that we have a seriously warped idea of beauty. If you are plain looking, then trust these researchers, you are good.

Attractive men might be considered better leaders, but attractive women might have to face blatant sexism making it less likely for them to get hired for higher positions.

As Walker and Fravert's findings show, it actually gets worse - if one is interviewed by an individual of the same sex and they perceive you to be better looking than them, then it is highly likely that they will not hire you.
