What's Looks Got to Do With It?

Recently, I was reading an article in the Economist about beauty and success. It gave a scenario something like this; There are two candidates for the same job, both same sex, and equal qualifications. One is pug ugly and the other not. Which one would you pick and why? Do you imagine the unattractive candidate, if chosen being offered a less money to do the job?

Does appearance matter? You bet it does-if it didn't why would we even bother to dress up for the interview.
