There was a really beautiful girl selling empanadas at the farmer’s market yesterday. But it’s a family business so maybe she’s related to the owners. Does that count?
The economy is bad. There are more hot girls than rich dudes.
I remember this on a Letterman a loooooong time ago. Top Ten good things about the bad economy. One of those was “Prostitutes are better looking.”
Maybe I should start describing my appearance as “recession-proof”.
I’m not a hot girl but I’m friends with a lot of them and it’s always interesting hearing them talk about this. Sexual power is unlike other advantages that people are given and it’s fickle and unpredictable in nature. Trying to exploit it is like trying to ride a bull.
As long as the girl has a handle on the relationship, everything can be going well. But expectations can quickly escalate and you are pretty soon exposed to all the weirdness and insecurities of a guy. And for a guy who is picking up hot girls sight unseen and lavishing gifts on them, these neuroticisms can often be substantial. The conventional standard for hotness for women is petite and delicate which means there’s often a substantial physical difference and there’s always the risk of the relationship becoming coercive or even violent.
Some hot girls treat this as a skill and a challenge and decide to get really good at it but I’ve spoken to a few who support themselves through sugar daddies and the amount of work required is substantial. Say what you will about the morality of it but it’s a legitimate career for all the work they put into it.
Additionally, while hotness helps get you in the door, it can often be a hinderance to advancement. I’ve spoken to a number of smart, hot girls who say that they feel discriminated against at work because everyone assumes they only got hired on their hotness and they have to work twice as hard to prove their competence. This may explain why you’re seeing so many hot girls in entry level positions.
Finally, there’s an amazingly huge percentage of hot girls who legitimately do not think they’re pretty and no amount of external validation will convince them of it. These girls might not ever have even considered trading on their looks.
That’s not an article - it’s just a picture with a headline. Can you see that, or do you run into a firewall of sorts? The section is “News in Photos”. The link is captioned “Woman Seems Too Hot To Be Riding Bus” and shows a picture of an attractive woman on a bus. No article is attached.
Do you look like a mob enforcer, or are you more a “certain aspects of show business” kind of guy ?
Some might say it’s the oldest career. But it tends to be short lived. Once you hit your 30s, sugar daddies tend to start looking to trade in for a younger model.
No one thinks they don’t get ahead because they are just mediocre at their job.
And truth be told, a lot of young women give up their careers when they get married or have kids. Everyone thinks they want a “career” when they are fresh out of school. But given the choice of toiling away for decades in some corporate office versus becomming a SAHM, starting some vanity business or even just taking a laid back job in a flower shop or whatever?
She’ll be working at Goldman Sachs soon enough.
Two anecdotes:
-
I recently saw an temp agency where you could hire the usual staff for student jobs like servign at parties, receptionists, etc. Only the one doing the hiring could specify that he wanted hot girld or boys to do the jobs. I guess the young people listed with that agency got paid a little more then with another agency, but not that much more, they were there to do an ordunary job, not to model or to flirt.

I have a friend, a girl with some psychological problems. The best I can describe it she has had a mild depression all her life and developed an alcohol problem because of it. She also has a hint of borderline disorder that interferes with her holding a steady and healthy romantic relationship. She is also drop dead gorgeous, and dresses real beautiful and creative.
She spent most of her twenties aimlessly through college, som years unemployed, without getting an useful degree. Then social workers introduced her to her current job, feeding and caring for teh patients in an home for the elderly, demented and disabled.
It was the first job that fit her well, and she has done it well for over 12 years now. I sometimes am glad that those patients have somebody as beautiful as her to look at.
Pay no attention to Loach
I wonder how long into the future the board will carry on the memory of July 2012 as a particularly stupid month.
Also, I’m not going t lie. I get a little twinge of surprise when I see a breathtakingly hot chick working a menial job. It’s cognitively incongruent. Hot chicks riding on the back of a garbage truck, hot chicks working mall security, hot chicks delivering mail…
I don’t dwell on it, but there’s at least a grain of pertinence to the OP.
Did you know they did a sequel to that documentary? I won’t give away the plot, but it has the same name with a 2 appended. 
I can see the picture. But I had assumed there was also an article.
Another appropriate satirical article: http://recoilmag.com/news/unemployment_rate_zero_percent_0304.html
Who has secretaries anymore? Or maybe you mean “office managers”?
You actually mean “administrative assistants” and “executive assistants”. 'Tis true, there are few of them around anymore, which is why I had to get a new career a couple years ago.
While some guys are hiring gals to do that job based on their looks the part of that profession that actually pays well requires brains and ability over looks. The trophy women for the executive suite might be receptionists, but the real [del]secretaries[/del] assistants aren’t hired based (solely) on looks. They have to look good, of course, but in a well-dressed/groomed sense, not a “hot bimbo” sense.
You think that is a lot of money to make in a year?
Certainly looks like she thinks it’s a lot of money… :dubious:
Remember, this is the person who was looking for something she could gather at the side of the road and sell for big bucks as is.
It is well above the 2005 household median incomeof $44,389 for 1.35 mean earners and 2.57 mean occupants per household.
