Even in the most trivial sense, I have seen it in action.

Me (normal looking guy) and the GF (average-trending-to-pretty) at a fast food restaurant. I go up to the counter and ask for a couple extra sauce packets, only to be told they are 0.25 each.

GF goes up 1 minute later, asks for two sauce packets and is given a hand full, for free.

That could be attributed to gender or charm.

It's charm, my wife is assertive and charming whereas I am merely assertive and threatening, she never has to pay for sauce packets!

How many sauce packets does it take to fill the wage gap?
