Play Up That Ugly Trait

Data analysis from the popular online dating site OkCupid finds that the women who get the most attention from men are rated by many men as unattractive.

Two math nerds from Harvard got the brilliant idea to launch an online dating site that finds matches based on quizzes given to users. OkCupid now has 3.5 million users and billions of data points, which the co-founders use to uncover fascinating patterns about human behavior. 

Here’s one: They discovered that the more men disagree about a woman’s looks the more they end up liking her.

Take two random women, equally rated as good-looking. Well what they noticed is that one of these women might receive 90 messages in a month where as the other only receives 30. Why?

The math revealed that those women who received the most messages had more variation in individual ratings of her looks. Meaning, some men would rate her as ugly and other men would rate that same woman as super hot.

It is the wide variation in ratings that is correlated to receiving nearly triple the number of messages than a woman who is considered universally cute.  

OkCupid’s math lords theorize that maybe men think they have a better chance with the more extremely rated woman, since there is something about her that is only attractive to some men, hence less competition. Maybe. Whatever the reason, the ultimate advice to single women: Embrace that unique trait. It’s what is going to get you the attention.

1. What is your preference of girl/boy friend and why? (appearance, insight whatever)

2. Which characters make people attractive?

3. What do you do to be more attractive?

Women Apologize More Frequently Than Men Do

Research confirm‎s that women tend to apologize much more frequently than men do, but there's a curious twist as to why this is the case.

Who do you think apologizes more often, men or women?

I think a lot of us might answer: Women. And as a Canadian woman I probably apologize more than anyone else.

Interestingly though, recent research revealed a curious twist for why women tend to apologize more.

Researchers analyzed the number of self-reported offences and apologies made by 66 subjects over a 12-day period. And yes, they confirmed women consistently apologized more times than men did. But they also found that women report more offenses than men. So the issue is not female over-apology. Instead, there may be a gender difference in what is considered offensive in the first place. The research appears in the September online issue of Psychological Science.

In a second study three separate offences were rated by 120 subjects on a seven-point scale. And women consistently rated the three offences as more severe than men did. Turns out that men are just as likely as women to apologize for a given offense.  But their threshold for thinking they have committed an offense is higher.

In fact, according to this research, women and men could easily disagree on whether or not a transgression has occurred at all. Ouch! I’m sorry to hear that.
