I've seen the article you mentioned, Aussie. I can't believe parents are actually like that. Your parents are the two people that you expect to get unconditional love from, and yet you don't get that because you're average looking and not as pretty as sister A or brother B? Ridiculous. And where did the average looks come from? The parents! Duh. Yet they're penalizing you for looking just like them!
I also think it's stupid that employers will give(based on this study) higher salaries to those who are better looking than to those who are average looking. Shouldn't it be based on ability and education, not looks? That's big time discrimination, imo. I'm not about to judge my looks, so I really don't know which side I'm on, lol. I just hope that when I get a job, I don't get discriminated against because of my looks.
