... do you think it's true that those blessed with looks are more likely to have better jobs and a higher quality lifestyle than those who are not?
Of course it does.
Its all psychological, a person is more willing to hire a beautiful young lady for a secretary position over someone lacking in the looks department...
Same goes for other physical features. Tall people are usually taken more seriously than shorter people. Goes the same way for people who are in good shape.

That funny because i find flaws in that (i mean the logic not your statement as i agree fully) as if you think about it someone with good looks is gonna be much better at seduction based crimes and tall people are gonna look more intimidating (im living proof of that). Good shape falls under one of the others depending on the crimes/intent.
These are just my personal perspectives and i agree that people are more willing to be hired it just lacks alot of logic behind the choices those in HR make.
