This is a little odd, but reminds of a project at work. I work at a face recognition company and we had a worked a bit on an attractiveness estimator. I argued that one of the uses would be for times when you actually wanted somebody plain rather than attractive (assuming you were filtering stock images for an advertisement). I guess maybe this is one of them.
- xradionut 13y agoSo a possible theory is that the images are being rejected because they are attractive?
- wavefunction 13y agoThe lady, while attractive, does look like she's headed to a cocktail party rather than work. Though it's not really my place to tell women not to dress up or "appear attractive." Contrast it with her actual profile picture on the site, both are flattering but completely different in what they communicate.
