    I think it does make a huge differerence.
    Especially when applying for jobs:

    But this is a theory, so don't feel upset as at the end of the day, there are other factors, such as; charm, intelligence, determination are also important.

    Article shows that women are more irrational than men since they would typically give the better jobs to more handsome men, whereas men were unbiassed.

    I don't think looks hold you back. I'm probably a 7 in terms of looks but I'm kinda short. The only place I feel uncomfortable is in nightclubs since it's harder for personality to shine through and people can't see faces as easily- and attraction solely depends on height it seems.

    Don't be fooled. I am so academic is a 20 something old male.
    He even has a part in the new film, 'snow white and the huntsman'.

    Here's the trailer: http://m.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=...&v=Bnk3H15DmTo

    I particularly like the part where his character hits the huntsman.
    I am so academic has been nominated for an award for his part in this film.

    You don't need to be.
    Prostitution is an alternative.

    Just a general question. What else do 20-something-old male virgins do besides pretending to be young girls on a student forum? I would like to know, if you could help me :smile:

    Do you think someone like Amber Riley is beautiful? I've been told I look like her, which I consider an insult, as she's so FAT

    Bull. Most guys would happily pull a 3/10 just for the sake of it.
    I agree but why would they?

    No. Why would any sane man do that?
    Well the man in this video begs to differ.

    Because a pull is just a pull. When you're drunk and coming to the end of the night they just want to have something to show for it.
