Women detect attractive men by web profile
If you think that you can woo a woman online by posting a flattering picture alongside your profile on the Internet, think again, for a study says females can easily identify an attractive man just by reading his profile.
In the study, researchers found good-looking men were able to convey their confidence and attractiveness in their written self-description, and that women volunteers were able to recognise their beauty without being shown their photos.
Men whose photos were rated as attractive had written profiles that were also deemed to be attractive, despite words and images being rated by different judges, the study found. In fact, the researchers at Villanova University asked 50 female students to examine profiles and pictures of 100 men aged 22 to 25 who had posted on a popular dating website, the Daily Mail reported. — PTI
