Güçlü erkeklik kimliğine sahip erkeklerin vücutları, cinsiyet eşitsizliğine meydan okuyan bir kadınla karşılaştıklarında, fizyolojik olarak tehdit tepkisi veriyor (o kadını olumlu karşılasalar bile).

Being a slacker makes you uglier to the people who know you.
A college rowing team rated each other's looks. They rated the team's slacker unattractive and a hard-working Olympic hopeful attractive. Strangers looking at a photo saw no difference.

"Women want Chad when they're ovulating" didn’t replicate.
The studies behind it averaged 40 women. A 2018 study tested 584 women up to 15 times each, with a saliva sample every time. Hormones didn’t predict how much they liked masculine faces.

“If sex differences in sexual inclinations in humans were purely down to culture, it would be a bizarre coincidence if cultures all over the world had replicated most of the differences we see in other animals. What are the odds?”

Cuando los departamentos de recursos humanos están compuestos mayoritariamente por mujeres, responden un ~50% menos a las solicitudes de mujeres muy atractivas, aunque tengan un currículum idéntico al de las menos atractivas, posiblemente para evitar la competencia directa.

If you’re a scientist and you want funding for appearance-related research, I’ve set up a fellowship program: qoves.com/research/research-…
We can provide funds, you can use our tech if it helps, and we have ~3M followers, so we can help you drum up big samples fairly easily.

My first time supervising a study as PI. I’m excited to learn more about—and contribute more to—the science of beauty in the coming years!
Any study ideas for what my lab should do next? We’re interested in all things beauty.

Darker hair and black backgrounds can make facial skin appear more even, according to new research in Perception. The skin itself was never altered, suggesting contrast around the face shapes how others perceive it. dlvr.it/TVjmYr

"over 70 percent of people say they've fallen in love with someone they knew first as a friend or colleague, and nearly half (49 percent; 44% of men and 52% of women) say they fell in love with someone they didn't initially think it could happen with." a.co/d/08gms2VG

Beards and heavy stubble score higher in photo rating sessions where they're rare. Clean-shaven scores lowest when most faces are clean-shaven.
Rarity is attractive.

A single attractiveness rating says more about the rater than your photo. Across roughly 1.3 million Keeper photo ratings, the photo itself explains 19.5% of the variation, the rater's personal scale 38.7%, and individual taste plus noise the remaining 41.8%.

A new psychological study of 192 portraits confirms that beauty and attractiveness are not identical. Researchers found that judging an artwork’s beauty involves cognitive processes and structural symmetry, while assessing the subject's attractiveness… dlvr.it/TVWP5z
