Yeah, I'm one of those freaks who are actually allergic to chocolate, and if someone claims that everyone loves the stuff, I understand the distinction. So let's not get all picky on the common-sensical assumption that Person A would be a more attractive Person A if they were a thin Person A rather than a fat Person A.
I would be a more attractive Person B if I were a taller Person B. It's a generalization, yes. But let's not get absurd in pointing out the exceptions. Obviously, there are people who find me attractive (hi there, zappp sweetie) at my little boy height.

Prudence, when I posted about apples and oranges, I meant we shouldn't confuse a hiring situation with a casting situation. Casting almost always involves the matter of matching physical appearance to the perceived requirements of a role.
I would never support hiring based on the same requirements. I don't know why, for instance, restaurants might hire cutie waiters as a preference. I don't see how it makes them more money ... but they have a right to think otherwise. My own hiring practices would be different if I owned a restaurant.
If I owned Disneyland, however, there would still be that scale behind the desk at City Hall.
Please don't presume to dictate that I must equate my casting practices with my friendship practices. You are way off base with that assumption. I am not selling widgets when I engage in friendships.
