A survey last year of 11,000 33-year-olds by London Metropolitan University found that unattractive men earned 15 per cent less than those who were deemed attractive, while plain women earned 11 per cent less than their prettier colleagues.
A recent study from the University of Florida and the University of North Carolina found that tall people earned $990 more a year than their shorter colleagues.
