Do attractive people really make more money or are more successful? Have you heard of this?

This is the first time I ever heard this or read any articles on this. Has anyone ever heard of it? I was watching a show and it brought up that less attractive people make less money. Do you guys think this is true? I’m not sure how I feel or think about this, I don’t know the statistics. Maybe it only applies to women..? I know and have seen men who were unattractive but very successful and wealthy. Anyway, just wanted people’s opinions.

I guess this goes hand in hand also with the theory that men who are taller in height are more respected in the work force or make more money.
