I personally would like to see that. I want people sponsored for their level of skill or actual accomplishments, not looks. If I want a pretty face then I can watch Ms. Universe or something. Everyone here is against sexism. Isn't this sexism?

It would be ungallant to name names, but there are women sponsored who are not considered to be conventionally attractive. Go down the GPI rankings and find the highest placed woman, attractive or otherwise, who doesn't have a sponsor then get back to us.

There have been unattractive women who have been sponsored. A prime example is Annette Obrestad.

Also, it's not difficult for a below average looking woman to look hot with the right makeup. The makeup and cosmetics industry is a multi-billion dollar industry for a reason.

Actually it is super sexist to say that if you want a pretty face you can watch a beauty pageant.

Same is true for men. A little touch up and BOOM, attractive!

Who did decide that attractivness has to happen based on looks?

I personally am more attracted to minds than looks.
