Pretty people don't have real struggles or problems compared to ugly people. More people are willing to bend over backwards to help a pretty person with their issues than they would an ugly person.

In a court of law, it pays to be attractive as juries tend to show a bias in favor of good-looking defendants. A new Cornell study ("When Emotionality Trumps Reason") found that unattractive defendants tend to get hit with longer, harsher sentences -- on average 22 months longer in prison, than attractive defendants.

The study also identified two kinds of jurors: Those who process information emotionally and [b][i]give harsher verdicts to unattractive defendants [/i][/b]and those who do it rationally and focus less on defendants' looks.

Who ever said life was fair?
