Hypothesis

Gender differences on how high they rate their looks is related to their level of self-love

Journal Article #2

1 2 3 4 5

Continuous & Ordinal

Rating of Looks:

Females: Cross Males: Dots

1 2 3 4 5

Continuous & Ordinal

Level of Self-love:

  • "A beautiful woman's face is like chocolate, cash or cocaine to a young man's brain."

  • Only a lovely female visage can set off the 'reward centers' in their brains.

  • They looked at beautiful female faces for a longer time, but for all other faces they tried only to 'make the faces disappear faster'
  • Human perception of beauty may be 'in-born'

  • It looks like there can be a difference between what the brain 'likes', an image that is judged to be attractive, and what the brain 'wants', something that is regarded as a reward in and of itself

Conclusion

Women's insecurity based on their appearance affects the way she sees herself. She may feel as though she is worthless, even to extreme degrees. She will think that nothing about herself is appealing, only useless

The correlation based on both of the ratings (looks & self-love) for the males are weakly positive

Why women feel bad about themselves?

Key reason for this is that their appearance is central to how they are evaluated by others especially men

Shoona, realised that she wasn’t pretty when she started school.

May not have been endowed with good looks, but at least she is not stupid

She won’t have to go through the agony of losing her looks because they were never there in the first place.

One of the first jobs she got, straight out of journalism college, was as PA to Bob Wheaton, the editor of BBC Breakfast News and, at the time, Jill Dando’s partner. (a very good job that a lot of people is competing for)

Never had to suffer the indignity of being dismissed as ‘just a pretty face’.

People usually take her seriously and assume a level of intelligence

She thinks she is ugly and accepted it. She still loves herself for her achievements.

There is no correlation for the females

Women’s physical appearance is more important for their dating success than men

Women’s insecurity about their appearance is driven by competition with other women
