It Pays to be Pretty
"Good-Looking NFL Quarterbacks Get Paid More."
I was shocked to discover that there was such thing as facial recognition software that recognizes beauty. I thought beauty was in the eye of the beholder. Apparently the players with greater facial symmetry got paid more, and the not so good looking one's were at the bottom of the salary. Unconsciously, people do more than judge attractiveness when first meeting someone, they also form impressions and determine how good of a leader they are by interacting with them for just a few seconds, or by a quick glimpse at a photo. We are unaware when we judge people, but although unintentional, our impressions can make a huge impact.

i agree with your blogg. its really intresting about the highest paod players
Wow. I had no idea quarterbacks were paid based on looks. I don't follow football at all, but you would think it should be based on how good they are. The world has become some obsessed with image that it's sickening.
I dont think that they are paid by there looks, I think they are paid on how they perform on the field. It just so happens that the good QB are also the best looking.
interesting thanx for the post i didnt know the quarterbacks were payed by their looks
you always want to believe that it is. But sadly its not most of the time
I also don't understand that either because.. isn't football supposed to be a manly sport.. not beauty
yea i didnt know that quarterbacks get payed by their looks
awww that's sad what about the not so pretty foot ball players who are really really passionate abuot the game. that really sucks.
