In light of this recent scandal at JP lev fin it would be stupid to presume that this is not going on at other banks perhaps at a lesser degree but still. Asides from going to the gym and taking care of personal hygiene what made the brown boy so desirable. Is it being married?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, attractiveness and desirability in professional settings often extend beyond physical appearance. While going to the gym and maintaining personal hygiene are foundational, other factors play a significant role:
Confidence and Social Skills: Studies and discussions on WSO highlight that attractive individuals often exude greater self-confidence, which can enhance their social skills and make them more appealing in both personal and professional interactions.
Perception of Stability: Being married or in a committed relationship can sometimes signal stability and reliability, traits that are valued in high-stakes environments like finance.
Charisma and Networking: Beyond looks, the ability to connect with others, build relationships, and navigate social dynamics effectively is a significant factor in desirability and success.
Professional Acumen: Competence and expertise in one's field can amplify desirability. Being seen as someone who delivers results consistently adds to the overall appeal.
Cultural and Evolutionary Biases: As noted in WSO threads, there is a subconscious bias favoring attractive and wealthy individuals, rooted in evolutionary psychology. This bias can influence perceptions and opportunities.
Ultimately, while physical appearance might open doors, it is often the combination of confidence, skills, and professional reputation that sustains desirability and success in environments like investment banking.
