This is especially true in Korea where servers and sales staff HAVE to be attractive. This was confirmed by a shopkeeper that I talked to. Receptionists at Lotte look like Korean pop stars!

it’s a sad reality but still a reality. i think there have been studies by psychologists on that – how the taller seem to (naturally) command more respect as a leader, etc.

i guess those who may not look it would have other gifts to take them to succeed (charm, wits, etc.) you know how they say there are no incompetent people, only competent people in the wrong jobs. perhaps it’s the same for the less attractive vs more attractive people. there are fields where certain people are better suited. and we can’t deny the fact that the pleasant looking ones become front liners, sales reps, receptionists, models, TV personalities, etc. same goes how the better sounding become phone operators, voice talents and DJs…

I read something like beauty and charm would never be enough, because, after a few minutes, you’d better know what you are talking about!

Ha! In the Philippines, whitening agents are sold, faster than the proverbial hot/pancakes. But in the Western nations (think USA), tanning salons, bronzers, and lotions are very popular. The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. Oh, let me paraphrase that: another person’s skin looks more attractive on the other side of the world. The fair-skinned Caucasians want to be tanned, and the honey-toned Asians want to be milky white. The good Lord must be shaking His head over this.

It’s really a funny thing…here in Spain women will try everything to be “morenas” while in the Philippines, it’s exactly the opposite. Spain: solariums, tanning lotions, too much sunbathing wearing usually a two-piece bikini so that they can go topless … Philippines: Whitening pills, creams and lotions, long-sleeves and long pants with matching hat on the beach…

We were in Zurich last summer and went to a clothing shop, exclusive kuno to. Anyway, the sales assistant was really nice and very accommodating. Kami pud nauwaw kay she looks like a Hollywood star. My husband always tell me that that’s their job. Comparing aning mga
kababayan nato nga mga engineer daw working here in Norway, most of them di sad managad even if they hear us talking bisaya/tagalog. Whenever there’s a party or something they always like to be addressed as Engineer Dacoycoy etc. Here in Norway we don’t have titles even our PM we call him Jens. That’s his name no maams no sirs.
