As more ubiquitous weight loss drugs, GLP-1s have become
They have brought about pleasant changes for some..
*
These drugs have for weight loss been designed
The profound impact that weight (and weight loss) has on our minds
Is illustrated by an economics research study new
That reveals that after 1.5 years on GLP-1s women are more likely to
Marry if initially single and if unemployed, employment find
What this demonstrates about how women are perceived just blows my mind
*
Perceived attractiveness is tied to weight, we know
But the fact that weight affects employment, especially in women, goes to show
How perceptions about capability are linked to weight
Being overweight for a potential employee is an undesirable trait
*
The optimist in me would like to explain this observation
By stating that weight loss brings about an augmentation
In a woman’s confidence, making her more attractive to employ or date
Then again, societal norms result in confidence being linked to weight
*
As GLP-1s become generic and democratized
With uniform access for everyone, perhaps we would realize
That first impressions based on weight no longer carry as much “weight”
That would be the societal shift I would like to celebrate
