The correct answer that would pass any test would be to hire the people that are the best at the job regardless of appearance or gender but most jobs hire attractive people over less attractive people given the same skill set. This is a societal issue and the ice girls is not the place to have the fight.
This is true, but you have to remember that often attractive people are also healthier people, so all else being equal, it makes sense to hire someone who clearly takes care of themselves over someone who doesn't seem to care. It's not a guarantee, but it helps your chances.
