Once I judged a woman, based on her looks.

good story, but you know the X Marks old maxim ... without pictures of the stunner ... it never happened.

I remember a similar woman when I was a college student. She was brunette and looked like a typical sorority girl, which I think she actually was. On the final exam of our Macroeconomics class, she was the first person finished, so fast that the prof gave her a look that said "wait for someone else to finish too".

You don't happen to have any pictures, do you?

Good lesson there. One of my brother in laws nieces is 25, with a Masters in History. She's 5'0 in high heels and looks like she's only 13. Because she looks so young, she actually has a hard time getting dates. And an even harder time buying alcohol.

Like you, I learned at an early point when teaching not to judge the book...

but I used to always get a kick out of those that did it in reverse.



I'm 5' 8 1/2" , 230 lb with a full beard and rather a "rough" look. At work, people always tell me I'm the least likely to be picked out as the supervisor instead of one of the guys - welder, mechanic, rigger, etc. I've also had people speak to me as though I weren't educated, especially those new to the group. (I have a PhD in chemistry).

I know I'm not a hot blonde (I'm a toasty brunette ), but sometimes the knife cuts both ways.
