Alternative theory:

I don't know many people who attach a photo to a resume. So if I see a photo on your resume, and you are attractive, I'm probably going to feel like you know you are attractive and are trying to win points with your attractiveness, which will cost you points in my book.

Apparently both with-photo and without-photo are common in Israel, where the study was conducted.

If that theory was true, I would expect attractive males and attractive females both to be discriminated against.

Possibly, although most guys don't seem to be particularly in tune with which other guys are attractive.
