Duh.

Depends on what the activity is, so yes and no.

Finding a mate and procreating? Absolutely. Don't like it, complain to Mother Nature.
Cooking? No.
Most jobs? No.
Holding a conversation? No.
Giving blowjobs? Definitely not as the uggos have to be better.
Modeling underwear or being a spokesperson? Yes. Again, this is scientific fact, not opinion. People respond better to attractive people, so tough shit if this makes you mad.

All things being equal, would you prefer to work with an attractive woman or an ugly one? Or talk to an attractive woman or an ugly one?

Prefer? Always the attractive one.

However, it's not required.

Also, how attractive are we talking? It's been my experience that "drop dead gorgeous" usually equals dud in the bedroom, while pretty girls are a ton more fun.

Is it worse when an attractive woman dies than when a fat ugly one dies?

It's a wash. The attractive woman will generally have about 20 years of really being hot. The ugly women had to spend their time doing other things like being research scientists for bad diseases and stuff. So in that case losing the ugly woman would be worse because she probably has at least twice as much time preventing me from dying from diseases as the attractive woman has in being hot.

On the flip side, a lot of the ugly women major in lesbian dance theory. So much worse when the hot woman dies in that case.

That made me laugh.

This question should be posted on some feminist site.

I knew what I wanted to ask from the beginning but I wanted to work up to it slowly.

We could go on and on and about accomplishments and what they bring to the table and so forth, but the honest truth is yes.

If you strip EVERYTHING else out aside from outer beauty, then YES it is worse when an attractive woman dies than when a fat, ugly one does. Feminists can argue all they want, but that's just science. The best genes should survive for the good of the human race.

So ... hot chick with a potentially fatal heart defect or ugly chick with a clean bill of health?

Because your genes don't affect your looks?

But to answer, the hot chick. I would bet 75% or more men would want to be a widower after being married to a hot woman than live their days out with the ugly chick.

You said "best genes." Biologically speaking, those that survive the best. That doesn't always equate to best looking.

But it helps.

Depends. Even if you're saying natural selection favours hot chicks because most men do, there comes a point where appearance loses out to say, a predisposition to a stronger immune system or resistance against certain illnesses.
