Why not hire based on attractiveness and promote based on blowjobs? This is reality and how the world works.

... alternatively, we could strive to make the world a better place.

That’s perfectly fine, imo?

There’s clearly a disadvantage to not having any meritocratic considerations during the hiring process and it will eventually come back to bite the hiring company. That said, everyone has free will and should be completely free to hire whomever they want for whatever reasons they want.

Nah, we have laws to protect us from people like you. Society is better off, whether or not you can see that.

Where would you draw the line on how the world works, though? For example, I imagine it's quite natural to want to kill someone. People do it all the time, even though it's outlawed. Should that also be fine, because aggression is natural, and nature is how the world works?

> This idea that it’s more worthwhile to wail at the sky about how the world works rather than acknowledge it and seek to take advantage of other areas of life where the scales are tipped in your favor fucking mystifies me.

Yep. This discussion is full of insinuation that trying to leverage your knowledge or intelligence to attract women is _manipulation_ or _predatory_.
