Study: Women cut handsome men more slack
Males wooing women can get away with acting a little creepy if they're good-looking, but the homely ones are out of luck, suggests a new study out of Eastern Kentucky University.
To gauge their perceptions of men, researchers showed 170 female college students two male faces with similar features—one considered attractive, the other not so much—alongside two scenarios.
In what the study in Gender Issues describes as a "low violation" scenario, the male asks to borrow a pen; in the "high violation" or "disconcerting" scenario, he suggests she try modeling and asks to take her photo.
The women were then asked a series of questions, including whether they would comply; most said yes to the pen and no to the photo, regardless of how attractive the man was.
