For the men who don't quite understand where we are coming from: Try to think about all those hot model looking men you see in ads in Maxim. Think of one of those guys training for a little while having one fight that apparently stunk and then that guy getting a chance to fight at k1. The promoter has him all over posters for k1 because he is hot but you know he isn't in there for the right reason. That's why so many people are pissed. And for the record, Trisha Hill would kill this chick, and me for that matter. She is a tough fighter.

Amie, I think Men do understand.

And there is no reason to think the fight business is any
different than other businesses, that are public entertainment
related.

I'll give some examples at the risk of going Off way off
topic.

A lot of men get passed over for
sales jonbs in particular
and also TV broadcasting jobs (on camera positions)
who are more educated, knowledgable
and well spoken than certain "hunks"
who land these positions.

Item: There was this kid named Sean HannitY
who was a talk radio host in atlanta, and
a college drop out.

He got a multi-million dollar contract with Fox News
to host their national TV political show in prime time.
Fox CEO, Roger Ailes said (paraphrased) We (fox) knew
"we had a winner when we saw that head of hair"

Yeah, he's got hair that would have made Elvis envious.
and a handsome face. Women go nuts and ring the hook
off the phones on his syndicated nightly radio talk show,

No offense, but he is a quasi "jimbo". (male equiv of a bimbo.)

he was Not even the best talk host even in Atlanta-much less
the whole USA.
>
and it has nothing to do with his conservative views.
Almost ALL talk show are conservative. It is a conservative medium.

In fact, There is a guy named Neal Boortz in Atlanta (same views as Hannity) who is much more knowledgable, educated and informed and articulate than Sean Hannity.
And he KILLED Hannity in the ratings war on the RADIO-where their faces
were not seen.


But, for Fox national TV? Boortz is TOO tall,(6'5") and he is bald. and his face ain't pretty. so he will remain a local radio celebrity.



But Hannity? It's crazy the way all these women rave about how
"brilliant " he is.

He aint retarded, but you would think he was Einsten to listen
to these lonley hosewives calling in.
But in fact, he is a very normal guy with average abilities
and extraordinary looks.

Factoid: No President of the USA this century has been under six feet tall. (except Jimmy Carter) You know why do you suppose that is?


People think taller men are stronger in character, wiser,
more intelligent, fairer minded, more competent, better leaders,
you name it.


ITEM: There was a study done at GSU and at Emory University Law school
in Atlanta.

They got two local actors to present the exact same closing argument
to differnet "jury panels" made of students.

One actor was very tall, over six feet, and distinguished looking.
he was described as a "Jimmy Stewart look alike"

the other was short, I dont remember all the particulars but
maybe five feet 8 inches, and was balding
with a ruddy complexion,and slightly overweight.

So guess which adjectives were used to describe the tall guy
guy when presenting verbatim the same closing argument:

here are the adjectives the "jurors" used to describe the Jimmy stewart Look alike:.

"commanding" "knowledgeable" "articulate"," masterful"
"principled" "strong" "trustworthy"
intelligent" "fair minded" "thoughtful" "deliberative"

The short chroe dome...Thanks for asking:

"feisty" "belligerent" "argumentative" "hot headed"
"emotional" "slick" "pushy" "opinionated" "untrustworthy"

ditto sales jobs.

anyone..male or female who is considered good looking has a leg up
on the competition. And women enable this to continue as much as men

inho.

They are just less blatant and "up front" about it. no pun intended.

Life is unfair. Why do we always have good looking celebrites as "spokepersons" for products being advertised.

We see things on TV like: "Take it from me, Brittany Spears this is the
better product"

how the #### does SHE know? she probably has someone do her shopping for her

Or, "take it from me, Michael Jordan, this is the car you should buy."

I want to shout at the tv, what the #### is a twewnty year old athlete doing telling me what consumer decisions is the wiserchoice to make, after living and making decisions 60 years on this planet?

why not get a non famous average looking person who is a genuine
crdntialed expert on whatever product his being advertised?
Indeed, why don;t the experts deserve that lucrative high payg endorsemtnt informing the public ? They at least worked for their credentials.

The truth is, we love attractive people, and reward them for
a genetic accident of birth.

Life is unfair and people suck.

I agree it is good to question it, as you are now,
and hopefully make it less socially aceptable.

But, I think we make a mistake to think only men are guilty
of mismeasuring their fellow human beings
