hi skb, I need advice from the ladies on here. I am an African American woman and I work in a large corporate office here in dubai. I want to ask if other professional females have suffered different treatment because they may not be as good looking or as attractive as some of their female colleagues. I am secure in myself, I am proud of the way I look. could I exercise more? yes. could I eat better? yes. but I try my best and I am happy with my appearance. however, I have started to notice that some of my colleagues get treated with more respect, more compassion, more understanding than others. I know it could be down to many factors, but I cant help but think that the more attractive colleagues get treated differently because they simple appear more appealing than others. What are your thoughts on this topic. please know this is in no way trying to create a racial debate or anything, I just want to know if other women know or have felt how I am feeling. My size, colour, height, size of my chest, condition of my teeth, length of my hair should not impact the amount of respect I get or the kindness others show me. I feel sad honestly. @catmumknowsbest
