Not only do beautiful people get paid better than those considered ugly, research has found that they're also more intelligent than their ugly counterparts.
One of the leading researchers on beauty and success, Daniel Hamermesh, an economist at the University of Texas, found over a decade ago during a series of surveys in the United States and Canada that when all other things are taken into account, ugly people earn less than average incomes, while beautiful people earn more than the average, says The Economist.

Beautiful people seem to be more intelligent too. In detailed studies done on the link between beauty and intelligence by Mark Prokosch, Ronald Yeo and Geoffrey Miller, who work at the University of New Mexico, they found that bodily symmetry was linked to performance on intelligence tests.
Companies with more beautiful people also have higher profits. Dr Hamermesh's study of "Dutch advertising firms showed that those with the most beautiful executives had the largest size-adjusted revenues-a difference that exceeded the salary differentials of the firms in question", notes The Economist.
So what happens when genetic engineering finally occurs (and it will occur, maybe not in your or your child's lifetime, but it will happen) and everyone is "beautiful"?

What kind of sick comments do these people have to say. What gives them the right to say "ugly people are not intelligent" Beautiful people care MORE about what's outside themselves instead of IN them. They are UGLY for saying that despicable comment.t
