Appearance's impact on life...

Exactly that's why you don't do it.
Fnord Go fucken justify your own unethical behavior somewhere else. To me it sounds like you have done bad things in the past and you are trying to justify them as ok to make it easier to live with yourself. (You have your own morals and values, you don't know other peoples morals and values)

LPP the guy got hired because he has got presentation skills and that will be good when dealing with customers. They are good skills to have.
But like you said the guy was bad mouthing his ex boss and scored poorly in other areas so I think you are right that he shouldn't have got the job and I think you were correct with you decision process. But it wasn't your call.

Anyhow WHF? You don't rate your physical appearence because you are small. Aren't you successful in your work life? You sound like you have a good job and are well respected by your pairs..

Is it fair that some people are more intellegent than others? Is it fair that some people have talents and some people don't?

At the end of the day all you can do is make the best with what you have.

I am thinking that I might failed to detect those 'presentation skills' but my boss literally mentioned his looks, anyways ...as I said before , my superior's decision might be the wisest one , I might failed to detect those good qualities because I can't easily understand them....
But , the much higher initial salary does really annoy me.

I am straight male with normal levels of male hormone (slightly higher in fact according to some blood test)..as for what my profile says well...it's a long story

No to me it sounds like you are right. Looks and social skills play a part when dealing with customers, but if he got choosen above other people that can over all do the job better then they didn't choose the right person.

Hah, sounds like your boss is gay, hah.

I would not have hired the guy, but I would sure have tried to do something!

^he's married

This happens to me all the time.

Your boss is an intelligent recruiter. He got 2 opposite personalities (the new guy and you) with opposite strengths and weaknesses. If you were your own boss you'd be wise to make the same decision: hire someone who's the "face", because you are the "brain".

Rejoice in the fact that now you won't be expected to do any of the "face" work and be "more social".

And understand that the antonym of Aspie is salesman.

Thanks for answering my question, btw. I'm curious about the story behind the profile gender, to be honest.

^^^^ but it seems that 'the face' has a better promising future on all levels, I mean he started with a trainee salary that it's higher than my first salary for about 40% , yet he has no msaters degree while I have one!

Sucks to be the brain.

In today's world, the charmers are the winners, yes. They make the most money and connections. They do pay a price for it, though.

I was been accused here by couple of girls that I am sexist so I changed my profile's gender to female to prove that I feel equal to a female and not ashamed to show that.

Middle Eastern men are terribly machoistic, that's why I'm single. No kidding.

^^ that's probably why I am easily accused with that , probably it's a middle-eastern stereotype but my I see humanity in fact mostly from an evolutionist perspective.


....but hey! not all Israelis are originated from middle-east. You can really call yourselves a 'middle eastern' race/people.

Men are extremely Middle Eastern in their behavior here, wherever they or their parents come from. I don't know why, but being an Aspie it's no surprise that I don't understand people. I long for the kind of man back where I was born.

^^ then go back to your original country.

'machoistic' is a common trait in religious cultures ...it's not about the location.

Hah. Next you'll say he's a republican politician as well.

^^didn't get it.
