• “Becoming and remaining attractive to oneself and to others has become a preoccupation of millions of people from all walks of life – young and old, male and female. Moreover, catering to or creating the desire to be attractive is an extraordinarily big business across multiple industries.

• Dr. Gordon L. Patzer has spent a significant amount of time during his career tracking research and developments in the scientific efforts to understand our preoccupation with physical attractiveness. These efforts have come together in the compilation of information from a wide range of sources published in the book. This book documents how widespread this phenomenon is and the vast amount of economic resources that are devoted to physical attractiveness by individuals and by our societies. It is fascinating reading as it draws on research in psychology and sociology along with a myriad of real stories about the effect this phenomenon has on people’s lives.”

• “We human beings live inherently embodied lives. At a most basic level, our physical differences enable us to recognize one another. But the meaning of human appearance transcends simple recognition. Physical appearance conveys a wealth of implicit and explicit information about who we are or who we may be—our gender, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, personality characteristics, etc. Sometimes our appearance communicates important accuracies, yet often it is a prototypic image that other people perceive and respond to with untested assumptions. 
• We are good looking so we must be good. We are fat, so we must be lazy or eat too much. We are tall so we must be skilled at basketball. We are short so we must feel inferior. We are muscular men so we must be masculine, assertive, dominant, or competitive. We are pretty women so we must be feminine and sexual. We have a “perfect face” or society’s ideal body, so surely we must also be perfect or ideal in other ways. 
• Being physically attractive bestows benefits. Still, looking good isn’t always good. It can illicit envy or assumptions that a person is merely a sex object, or egotistical, or has received undue privilege because of their looks. Being biased by beauty isn’t just about men judging women. It isn’t a simplistic sexual phenomenon. Physical attractiveness colors our views of and reactions to people in most contexts of life. It permeates the media as well as everyday human relations. Indeed, physical attractiveness can reflexively shape our perceptions and beliefs and reactions vis–vis others in ways that are not always immediately conscious to us.
• Some of our social assumptions about people based on their looks are largely “wired in” and universal, and other assumptions are more culturally taught. Regardless of the origin of these phenomena surrounding physical attractiveness, appearance undoubtedly matters. And it matters in ways that are both obvious and complex. Physical appearance significantly shapes our lives. So we act to try to control our appearance. We adorn ourselves with carefully selected clothing, try to alter our weight or muscularity, spend time and money to have the “right” hairstyle, or seek a surgical solution to be more physically attractive.
• Nearly twenty years ago, I articulated a distinction between the “inside” and “outside” perspectives on the study of human appearance. The “inside view” concerns “body image”—how our perceptions, beliefs, and feelings about our own looks affect our lives. The “outside view” pertains to how our physical appearance influences others’ perceptions, beliefs, and feelings about us. At about the same time, Dr. Gordon Patzer wrote his first book, The Physical Attractiveness Phenomena, to tell the fascinating story of this “outside view.” Now, in his new and exceptional volume, Dr. Gordon Patzer has thoughtfully garnered and detailed all the empirical evidence about what human appearance means in “the eyes of the beholder.”
• Dr. Patzer’s book is a well-written, compendium of contemporary knowledge about the personal and interpersonal implications of human physical attractiveness. For better or worse, these implications are considerable in every aspect of life for human beings across cultures and across the lifespan. The “beauty” of this volume is that it leaves few stones unturned and is grounded in both theory and scientific facts. While physical appearance is a powerful determinant of first impressions, its influences are neither simple and transient nor merely a matter of romantic attraction. Looks affect the lives of infants, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. Both faces and bodies are important. Both culture and biology are important. Human appearance can alter interpersonal, educational, and occupational opportunities and can tip the scales of justice that is by no means blind.
• Dr. Patzer’s scholarly volume sheds elucidating scientific light on the phenomenon of physical attractiveness. We cannot escape the reality of our embodied lives nor the fact that our physical aesthetics shape our lives, in both profound and subtle ways. This is a serious story that must be told and should be read.”

• “Gordon Patzer is one of a small group of academics who has ‘…boldly gone where few (have had the courage) to have gone before….’ Gordon has been conducting research and writing on the physical attractiveness phenomenon for almost 30 years, and we owe him a debt of gratitude for bringing to light what has been, for most of us, a forbidden thought. The very idea that the world isn’t fair, and that the accidents of birth and ‘position’ in the social hierarchy of our society runs counter to some of our most deeply held beliefs about the way the world works or ought to work. A colleague of mine used to say that one has to have the ‘…courage, pluck and fortitude to be born at the right time!’ To this one might add “….and have the ‘right’ parents.”
• We all know, at an intuitive level, that there are no homely movie stars, entertainers, and public figures; and that income and social power derive from these conditions. What is remarkable about Patzer’s work is the documentation of the pervasiveness of the physical attractiveness phenomenon…this phenomenon ramifies into every aspect of the human condition. So we’ve learned that life isn’t fair just as earlier we learned to abandon our beliefs in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. It’s painful to learn the truth, but ultimately we are better off to know it. It is what it is.
• Patzer is not content to simply document and scientifically demonstrate the physical attractiveness phenomenon, he has the courage to offer suggestions and policy prescriptions that flow from an ingrained notion of how a just and fair society organized on democratic principles should deal with it. This book is not for the faint of heart, or those who can’t deal with the discomfort of having their closely held (if largely unexamined) beliefs challenged by evidence.”

• With Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern University, combined with a BS degree in Industrial Engineering from Northwestern University and MBA from Cornell University, Dr. Uselding has earned a national reputation in his field of economics and has accordingly served as editor of The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance.
• “When Gordon Patzer speaks, whether it be in a book, an article, a letter or TV appearance, it never fails to impact me in a way that I find somewhat of an ‘Aha!’ experience, a kind of ‘That’s sooooo true!’ feeling that gets deep to the core of human behavior. Often times, I read his findings with a deep disappointment of the human race. How superficial people are, how empty and misguided their views are! And, while I sit and digest what Dr. Patzer is so boldly stating, I feel uneasy because I realize that as a marketer and a mother, I am oftentimes guilty of these stereotypes and perceptions.
• Dr. Patzer has a way of breaking through the clutter of physical and non-physical perceptions and behaviors, leaving you with a clear understanding of the psychological and social implications of this truly fascinating phenomenon. In many ways, Dr. Patzer provides us with the world’s ultimate mirror to human behavior. Dare to look, you will be sure to be shocked and inspired.”

• “Concerning physical attractiveness, Gordon Patzer has been a leading pioneer in the study of a field that has universal interest to all persons, whatever their education or status in society, who are concerned with social interactions among humans, from the cradle to the grave. His scholarly labors over four decades have shown that throughout history, in all cultures, races, and society, that the physically attractive have great advantages in the pursuit of success and happiness, contravening the myth that we judge people by their character and virtues.
• The subject has become much more important to our consciousness than in its early days. Tom Cash was certainly a pioneer, as was Gordon Patzer who has contributed enormously toward understanding the crucial role of appearance in all human interactions. This is no longer a subject dominated by the cosmetic industry, cosmetic dermatologists, or plastic surgeons. Evolutionary biology has also brought this subject to a new level of understanding.
• Concerning [Dr. Patzer’s latest book], politicians, regulators, business people, teachers, doctors, parents, students, in fact everyone, would be well advised to read this fascinating, illuminating account of the all powerful, often hidden influences of physical attractiveness on human interactions in all phases of life. If we aspire to achieve equality and fairness among the six-billon diverse people who inhabit the earth, we need to have a keener appreciation of the religious and social beliefs that impede this goal.
• Then, too, the population is aging rapidly. No one gets prettier or more beautiful with advancing aging, which negatively impacts on the quality of life. Society must muster all its forces to help older people to look their very best, according to the doctrine that ‘looking good is feeling better.’ ”

• “Gordon Patzer is the right person at the right time to author the right book. I have a library on books concerning physical appearance but none has captured the magnitude and importance of this subject as author Patzer has in this monumental contribution to the literature. He has dissected the subject as no one before him which makes this new work all the more valuable to academicians, the media, and the general public. Coming from an academic background, Patzer addresses the subject in a logical, but informative, and highly interesting manner.
• …draws from his previous and most informative work and includes virtually all the vast research that has been done over the past several decades. Author, lecturer, dean, television personality, world-traveler and expert on the appearance phenomenon, Gordon Patzer has lived it all and has become one of the world’s leading experts on physical appearance. If you are as fascinated as I am on the subject of self-esteem, beauty, and physical appearance, The Power and Paradox of Physical Attractiveness has to be on the top of your list to purchase, read, and reference.
• …delivers a strong look into the dynamics of physical attractiveness between and within people. It is another robust work by Gordon Patzer who has dedicated a key portion of his life to investigate, understand, and explain this subject matter of great significance in every person’s life.
• Dr. Patzer brings to this book the right combination of formal academic study, research insights, international travels, life experiences, and first-hand knowledge about diverse cultures. His analysis and presentation about physical attractiveness and its interconnected phenomenon are unparalleled. People from all walks in life throughout the world will find the result of his labors communicated in this latest book to be informative, interesting, and valuable to read.

His pioneering research in the field has been well tested and respected in the world of academia, and now, through The Power and Paradox of Physical Attractiveness, his knowledge and expertise are revealed to the much larger world.
• Despite ignorant platitudes regularly offered up by the politically correct brigade, our society continues to be captivated by supermodels, complete makeovers, and beautiful celebrities. Dr. Patzer explains exactly how and why we all react in a predictable way to certain quantifiable visual criteria. As someone who has lived on both sides of the equation, I have personally experienced the very power and paradox of which he writes. This book is essential reading for everyone who wishes to gain a truer and more comprehensive understanding of human nature and the world in which we live.”

He has accumulated vast experience and esteem as an analyst, expert, and proponent about this most specialized science and its pervasive presence.

• Allen Steadham
  Director, International Size Acceptance Association.
• Following text excerpted from the ISAA organization website, 1/15/06 by Gordon Patzer: [ The mission of the International Size Acceptance Association (ISAA) is to promote size acceptance and fight size discrimination throughout the world by means of advocacy and visible, lawful actions. ISAA’s primary purpose is to end the most common form of size discrimination and bigotry–that against fat children and adults; ISAA will strive to defend the human rights of members affected by other forms of size discrimination as well. ISAA defines size discrimination as any action which places people at a disadvantage simply because of their size. ISAA defines size acceptance as acceptance of self and others without regard to weight or body size. ]
• [ ISAA has branches across the United States, in Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Australia and the Arab Nations. ISAA’s message of size acceptance–and Respect, Fitness, Health–reaches millions of people through radio, television, newspapers and even through film (in the DVD edition of the Oscar-nominated documentary Supersize Me). ]
• [ ISAA takes a no-nonsense, professional approach to helping save lives through educating the public about health and wellness for people of all sizes as well as the realities of weight-based discrimination and who gets hurt by it (everyone). ]
• [ ISAA [works] to help empower people to make decisions for themselves, armed with the necessary information to make educated choices concerning their health and their bodies, or those close to them.]
• “In his continuing effort to research and explain the phenomenon of physical attractiveness, Gordon Patzer now offers The Power and Paradox of Physical Attractiveness, a profound work that takes great pains to explain how the world looks at this issue. Having followed his work for 15 years, I can say that he has been influential in the dental profession at helping it understand the value of its part in enhancing physical attractiveness. Every medical/dental professional needs to understand the implications that Dr. Patzer relates in this book to better support their patients’ concerns, needs, and wants related to physical attractiveness.”

• “As a physician with a medical specialty focused toward appearance, I experience daily the role and impact physical attractiveness has in the lives of men as well as women. Many factors influence or determine the physical attractiveness of a person, and both separately and collectively they cause significant psychological and sociological consequences. The thoroughness and precision with which Dr. Patzer has researched, analyzed, and articulated these matters make his scholarly book, The Power and Paradox of Physical Attractiveness, a “must read” for every person.”
