It's one of those strange paradox things where men deal with me and think I'm an asshole, but respect my directness, and women deal with me and think I'm really a nice person.
Are you particularly attractive? This may be part of the reason.
Golly. So women have no thoughts in their head besides attractiveness when it comes to interpersonal behavior. Just...golly.
At least to your marginal credit you used the qualifiers "may" and "part." I'll spare your life today...
For all I know, the teachers at his school were just generous. Mine were certainly rather lax. But the fact is that for the average person, attractiveness is a factor, both in how much credence people are willing to give and in how much bullshit they'll put up with. Attractive people tend to be perceived as smarter, more honest, and more likely to succeed. With all the hot bitches I've met that have vacuum-sealed skulls, it's impossible for me to share that perception, though. And no, I'm not using "bitches" as a colloqualism to refer to women in general. If I meant "women" I would have said that. I'm referring solely to attractive women who also happen to be irredeemably stupid and obnoxious.
It's sad to think our society has evolved this way. You'd think that by now due to our scientific knowledge about the human body and about evolution and all that jazz we'd finally drop all of this nonsense and start treating everyone equally, the way they deserve.
That depends on what you mean by the way they deserve. If you're referring to workplace equality, I heartily agree with you. I wouldn't promote an attractive person over an unattractive person if the unattractive person could do the job better, and if the former tried to use their sexuality to get me to change my mind I'd probably fire them. But would I rather hang out with someone I find attractive in my off hours? Damn right I would. That isn't discrimination, that's simple personal preference. Putting ketchup on my burger does not equate to discriminating against mustard.
