| I think attractive people earn better salaries because of biology. People like attractive people more that's pretty much it, when you like a person more if that person demands a raise or something the bosses may indulge and give him/her a little more. People that excercise more are obviously more attractive. And stop the political "correctness" deep down you know you like more the more attractive people, what's wrong with that? |

| so what about unattractive people that hit the gym? do they earn more or less? or are you attractive the moment you hit the gym? Last edit: 2012-06-11 00:57:39 |

Keep going to the gym and fueling your egos.
It's not so much about the way you look than about being someone who can commit to something and follow through.
Exercising is healthy, everyone knows this yet not everyone does it. Those who do generally work harder. |

If you feel sore all the time, unless you just started going to the gym within the last two weeks, you are most likely over working yourself.
How exactly did this go from a discussion about gym and pay correlation to attractive people earning more? Just because you go to the gym doesn't mean you are attractive. I know of several people at the gym I go to that are overweight/obese even after going several times a week for over a year now. Going to the gym itself doesn't make you look "fit", you have to have control of your diet also. |

On June 11 2012 00:14 xwoGworwaTsx wrote:In a new scientific study published in the Journal of Labor Research for June, researchers have found that employees who regularly exercise earn 9% more than their lazier and less fit counterparts. This has always been a popular notion, but it was only until now that it has been proven by scientific research. Employees who are more physically fit - specifically those who hit the gym - and who are more physically symmetric and beautiful or handsome, have always received more favorable circumstances at work, chief of this is in their salaries. The latest study defined “regular exercise” as working out at least three hours a week. Considering that the average hourly wage in the U.S. is $23.41, the time workers spend at the gym is valued at $70.23 — but the extra pay the exercising employee receives is $84.28, about 20% more than the value of the time spent at the gym. One the other hand, various studies have also shown people who are not fit and attractive tend to earn less. Is this a new sort of ism, like racism and sexism, this time maybe fitism or healthism? Some people are naturally fit without doing as much exercise. While some people also tend to get fat and obese even without being "lazy" as the popular notion with such people go. I believe people should be judged on their character and competence and never on their appearance. Link to Moneyland article
Maybe they go to the gym because they're energetic and do things rather than sit lazily in the office. |

Agreed. I had a class about this once. They mention that a person who is in shape looks like he is able to manage his time better and gives a better face to the company so to speak. The same way models are used to market products. You want someone who looks like they are proactive in their life to be the face of your company. |

So we pay someone more money because they are more active outside of work?? I don't find going to the gym a few times a week is a real big commitment that someone has to make. If you want to go the gym 3 times a week than do it, but you should not be rewarded anywhere else but the gym for doing so. |

If it actively increases their performance in work, then yes, they should be rewarded, as such a thing is helping the company. You're confusing rewarding someone for going to the gym with rewarding someone for what they do, which may be amplified by them going to the gym. |

Maybe they made the study on 1000 people where half went to the gym, while the other did not, then compared their wages and found out the who earns more. I really doubt they pay people more because they are more fit  ) |

When you excercise regularly you are more attractive than a person that never excercises, at least most of the time, unless you have a real pretty face like Robert Pattison or something. Isn't it obvious? Americans are too concerned with what is correct politically which means carefully picking words to express a lie, but deep down it is just the true, it is human nature to like more attractive people, that doesn't mean there is something wrong with ugly people, I'm pretty much ugly myself, but I wouldn't jump the ugly people's bandwagon of saying that inner beauty is what counts because I know that is not true.

Ah that's why all the managers and company owners are so stronk. It all makes sense now!
Let's take Gates for example, he earns a lot of money and is very body builder. Or Schwarzenegger he also stronk and a lso marry rich woman. Or steve jobs, alas he death (rip=(), but high salary.
a quickest look on the fortunated fivehundret show clear very fit is very richt.

It's not a new "ism". This is how human beings have judged each other since before we had language. Yes, some people are naturally beautiful with little effort, and some people have conditions that make them obese, but these are both much more rare than people are willing to believe.
Now, of course, there are limits. Most of us are never going to have a smile like Tom Cruise for example, but I don't believe judging someone on their appearance is all that shallow. Really fit looing people are that way usually because they put work into looking fit, and out of shape people are usually that way because they don't.
Are the fit people shallow because they take care of themselves, or are they just smart? I think they are just being smarter with their time. 3-5 hours a week is not too much to ask of almost anybody in the professional world. Do I want to hire a person to take care of an important job (and sometimes, represent my company) when they look like they can't take care of themselves? Not if I can find someone who looks like they can. |

| Good to see. Now fat n lazy people who dont work as hard have another excuse as to why they arent earning as much, its because of the good looking people that im not being paid enough! People dont accuse those who study as fueling their ego's, why should going to the gym and putting effort into their appearance be chastized? |

If you excercise on a regulay basis means you probably control your diet more than a person that doesn't it should be pretty obvious, but a rule of political correctness is pointing out the exceptions out of everything and not the norm. Anyways

Really? So because you apparently don't, everybody thinks the same way you do? Stop lying to yourself if 10 people come to you asking for a job, with exactly the same abilities would you hire the ugliest one? if you do, you're doing exactly the same than the person that hires the most beatiful: Discriminating. Chances are if you talk to 10 people asking for a job, you would probably hire the one you like the most, maybe it's the way they talk, they way they look, how confident they seem, etc, etc, etc, maybe all of that put together but being fit/beatiful is an important asset and looking at society it should be pretty evident that those people get more benefits. There is nothing wrong with being ugly or unfit, but knowing all the benefits in excercising and doing a good diet everybody should be encouraged to do that, instead of twisting words to keep claiming that everybody is the same when they are not.Last edit: 2012-06-11 01:28:51 |

Furthermore, I doubt employers think "shit this guy/girl looks fit ill pay them more". Rather, its because they are attractrive/fit they would get noticed, then when they just do their work like any other person get noticed for doing good work and might get promoted/bonus or what have you. Unless of course its something industry specific ie. model/stripper/actor that gets payed more purely because they are better.
The benefits are subconscious because humans respond better to other humans who look more dominating/attractive because thats just the way we are |
