I think it's weird that we dance around the idea that looks aren't important when we all know otherwise.
It's why men fib about their height and are insecure about showing photos without hair, and why some women take photos that hide their true figure, and why both take very flattering angles that are unlike day-to-day appearances. There's also a plethora of data from dating websites that show being a certain ethnicity and gender have very different outcomes.
There might be some outliers but the data I've seen from online dating websites show handsome looking men get matched up a substantially higher rate than not-so-handsome guys.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoMen lie about their height because women don't know how the numbers actually correlate to looks. Women would do the same of waist/hip size was in the profile.
- brsanders 6y agothis is a pretty ignorant comment. plenty of women know how to gauge height from a number. men lie about their height because they are insecure.
- mykmallett 6y agoIt's overly generalised yes, but a vast proportion of the world is not over 6ft, yet this is often remarked as a minimum requirement on dating profiles. However in reality it often turns out that their real "height requirements" are far lower from anecdotal experience. The perception that being 6ft is the norm and that men should always be tall is highly prevalent
