Benefits of Being Attractive: Differential Payoffs for Men and Women

This study used attractiveness ratings of about 601 males and 745 females based on high school annual pictures to predict marital and socio-economic status 15 yr. later. Attractiveness gets females highly educated husbands with high income, but no benefits in occupational status or own income. It also reduces the probability of remaining unmarried. For males, attractiveness interferes with achievement of status.
