I kid you not.
People will go out of their way to talk to me now and strike up conversations, yet, when I was very overweight people out in public rarely spoke to me (unless they had no choice because I spoke to them first)
I find some people very shallow, at the end of the day I'm the same person I was back then, I just look different now, some people do judge a book by the cover and it's quite sad..
I don't know if you have seen the film Shallow Hal but it starred Gwyenth Palthrow in a fat suit .
She said the same that people ( who didn't know it was a film set they shot some in a hotel lobby ) just ignored her or slid their eyes over her as if she was invisible .

Just talking from personal experience, growing up in that kind of opportunistic dog-eat-dog environment. Remember the 80s?
I suppose it happens on the corporate slippery pole but I don't really know.

it's no wonder that many of those corporate execs over fifty go off and start their own business. I've looked up some ex colleagues and they have set up cleaning businesses, photography businesses, even flower shops to get out of the constant grind. It's not easy to keep up if you are a woman in your fifties. I spend a lot of time worrying about getting older and not being noticed at work any more because you're just deemed past it. You're simply not allowed to age as a woman in such an environment. Both men and women lose their looks as they age and it's more stressful trying to age gracefully than the actual work.

As an artist I see that beauty depends on the bones of the face mainly being symmetrical.
No amount of make up can change this .
Make up can cover skin blemishes but no much else .
