Tipping: Different for attractive/average looking?

I personally do not tip more (i.e. I tip the same amount) to attractive people or people who are of a a higher 'aesthetic appeal' to the general population compared to the average looking person. However, I figured that I might be more so inclined to tip more often (sometimes I do not tip depending on several reasons) to attractive looking people. And also,

I do tip more for a more personal service like an individual cutting my hair versus several people washing my car at a car washing lot.

What about you?

  "I never give more than the "Tip added" in bills with the tip included, but I always tell management and the wait staff that they would have gotten a better tip without it - I view it as an insult, and I don't make a habit of eating at those places."
  
  Exactly right. I HATE when the restaurant automatically adds the tip to the bill. It usually happens with large parties, but to me that's no justification at all. A big group runs up a big bill, often with lots of expensive drinks. You're a restaurant... deal with it. Sometimes, with a big group, they make one waitress handle us all, she can't keep up, we get sub-par service, and then they rub salt into the wound by adding 18 percent to the bill.
  
  It's BS to me. A tip is not "automatic", nor should it be presumed. It's earned. 10 to 15% is about right for good service; more than that has to be earned. 18% for lousy service will keep me from coming back. More than once, I've complained to the manager and had the "automatic" tip taken off.
  
  Other times, the menu says a tip will be added with parties of 6 or 8 or more, and the waitress doesn't add it on. I like that, and will tip more than I would have otherwise.
