Thin Women, Big Men Make More Money

I really don't know how true this is because when I applied for my job 4 years ago, I was 350 + lbs and I'm the second highest paid as a professional in the City. Maybe they paid me the wage cause no one else wanted it! :lol: :lol:

Well this is probably true in some cases but like thin one, I'm actually at the top of my classification - so I can't say being obese has kept me down. I've actually been promoted by my Department much faster and many more times than most here, and they are all thin too. Some would even have to leave to get promoted then return, which I've only had to do this once, and haven't left since.

I think it has more to do with confidence rather than I'd say outwardly appearance. Though, I'm sure outwardly appearances do factor in sometimes.

What I'm really trying to say is, I'm an exception to this always thought of rule.

I think it's important to separate anecdotal evidence (individuals who controvert the study) from the empirical data (the vast majority of individuals who fit under the bell curve). Or, in non-geek-speak, "there is an exception to every rule, but that doesn't mean the rule doesn't apply." Just because you are a large woman or small man who earns a lot of money doesn't mean that, in general, this study doesn't apply -- any more than a single cold winter disproves global warming.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
