treating people differently based on the way they look...
i thought of this topic while i was in the 32 degree cooler today at walmart...
aight, so i'm in the back fridge stocking up the milk, when up comes this
really cute blonde...5' 1"....college chick...possibly USC...
there were some milks that she was unable to reach because they were slid so far back and her arms were too short (how cute! i love tiny chicks!)....since she saw me back there, she asked "excuse me sweety, could you push those half gallon 2 percent milks up so i can get 'em? my little arms are like..
*reaching up like a cute little baby*
...so tiny, dude
tee hee hee." :grin:
so my reponce was "sure! as a matter of fact ma'am, i'm gonna grab you the freshest milk we have back here...here ya go ma'am....this milk isn't due until july 4th! :grin: "
she thanked me for going out of her way for her, and walked away with a smile...
so then like 2 hours later, the milks began to run low again and it got to the point where customers couldn't reach it...
all of a sudden, this real TALL chick (about 5'10") saw me in the back freezer and decided to ask me a question... she was all ghetto...
"scew me.....yall got anay mo' fat free in da gallon" :???:
my reponce:
"nope, sorry" :???:
"oh...well i guess i kuh come back" :???:
my responce:
:???:
okay, BUT right behind me where she couldn't see there was a whole BUTTLOAD of fat free gallon milks...i just didn't feel like going out of my way for her...i mean i was about to leave in about 10 minutes and my arm was a little tired...i know in my heart had it been that hot white chick, i would have defnately got those milks for her...and then magically found a milk that wasn't due until like august something...
so why did i treat her differently? it wasn't because she was ghetto...i live in columbia, this whole city ghetto...not her skin color...nope...i don't hate my own kind...it was simply because i wasn't attracted to HER! ... 2 women, similar problem, different look, different result...
the reason why i thought about this post was because i've been both guilty of a **** of looksism...i ain't all that i'm like 5'6" goofy looking...(but proud, dammit!)...have you ever been guilty of or been the **** of looksism? you ever help a beautiful 5' 0" chick out with an essay while leaving the tall 5'7" chick out in the dust because (ahem) "something came up"?? have you ever just been totally ignored when you walked into a place of buisness because of the way you look or is that just me?
what yall think and what are some yalls testimonies of looksism?

^Ignorant; that's if this story is factual.
People are treated differently depending on how they look in certain instances but it's your job, especially at Wal-mart, to treat all customers in the same matter. If the "ghetto" girl came at you disrespectful, I could see but if you just did it cause white chick appealed to you more, you need to check yourself. That's just my honest opinion.
Just treat people how you want to be treated.
For some reason...I don't know why. But I can't help not but to treat everybody the same. As far as looksism goes, I reguard it in my mind whether or not I'm really attracted to a female or not too attracted, but usually the way that person acts determines this. I've grown to this point and now it's just natural. If I have any problem it's based on intellectual measure. I treat people differently if I think their not intelligent by the way they act. I try not to, but I still do anyway. The thing is I don't like when people treat me that way like I'm stupid which I'm certainly not. I guess I kinda deserve it tho with the way I do at times. One thing I need to work on and change.
"Lookism" is real. I honestly will see a cute girl come through my line at the grocery store and I will be sure to have a convo with her. But if an **** girl comes though my line, I say hey and that is it. I don't do it on purpose, I just......do it

i wasn't because the chick was white, it was because i was attracted to her and wasn't attracted to the tall chick...
had it been an **** white chick and a pretty shirt black girl, it would have been a whole different story...
**** this white chick's running around columbia with a HALF GALLON of milk that aint due until JULY 4th!
****! ladies, when you're fine, a n!gga will jump through fire fo ya ****...dayum fine chicks be taking advantage of m gremlin **** with this looksism too...but sh!t i don't care...i know what's happening, but i don't care...
i could give a DAYUUUUM! 8) ! :???: 8-)
excuse for this, but i didn't read because it's a little too late and that was long, but where in the world did look looksism come from. Thas a new one for me.
Chivalry is not ****. You should have treated the tall lady just as well as you treated the short lady. That would have been the GENTLEMAN thing to do. I dont know about anyone else, but my brother was taught to open doors and pull out chairs for any lady no matter her color, height, or etc....
Whether we want to admit it or not we all are victims of "lookism". whether we be the giver or the reciever. each and every one of us has benifited because we appeal to someone. this is just the society we live in. the one that appeals to us is the one we give preferential treatment to.
I will admit, yes I have been a little nicer to the more attractive dude at work than I have been to the guy thats not that great looking. And yes this is wrong.
