Brilliant comment.

And the fact that most of the responses to you are confused by it shows how ludicrous it is. And yet when someone uses that exact same reasoning in a different context people are somehow unable to see its absurdity and vehemently agree with it.

Individual anecdotes are also informative but the scientific data is pretty clear, women who are more attractive and men than are taller (and more handsom) do better in business and wealth. We have strong biases towards them. It doesn't mean all attractive and tall people do well, just there is a clear trend across society that they are promoted more.
