A comment on Happy Guys Finish Last, Says New Study on Sexual Attractiveness. Parent comment
- people may react differently to photos than they do to real people
- people may react differently in a lab than they do in a real life courting situation
- people may lie about their attractions for unfathomable reasons
- people may not even know what they are attracted to
- the people in the photos can't necessarily fake emotions convincingly
These kinds of issues confound most psychological experiments but you really can't dismiss them when it comes to sex.
