Stanford Study Debunks Beer Goggles Myth, Reveals Alcohol’s Confidence Boost
thethaiger.com/world/news/545812/ | 8/31/23 | Nishi EtiResearchers have shed new light on the age-old concept of “beer goggles”, debunking the popular belief that alcohol enhances attractiveness perception. A study conducted by Stanford University and published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs has shown that alcohol does not influence how attractive people find others.
The research involved 18 pairs of men who consumed roughly three standard drinks in a little over 30 minutes. The participants were asked to rate the attractiveness of individuals of the same age in photographs and videos, both while sober and under the influence of alcohol. It was found that the male participants’ attractiveness ratings remained constant, regardless of their sobriety levels.
It’s not even a proper “straight line,” but I can attest from personal experience: Distrust This Science!
You know they’re not attractive you just no longer care that they’re fugly.
Everyone needs to believe in something… I believe I’ll have another beer and hit on that short, fat, dwarf woman by the door.
(…and by dwarf I was referring to a Tolkien description, NOT to little people.)
Beg all you want, you’re still going home alone…
All I know is at this point if a good looking woman hits on me I immediately think…yep, must be a Drag Queen or something and there are a lot of “somethings” out there nowadays.
If a good-looking woman hits on me, alarm bells will definitely go off.
Hands on wallet. Give out no personal information. Meander around the parking lot before getting into car.
Call Saul.
A man and his wife are grocery shopping.
The man sees a case of beer on one of the shelves and puts it in the cart.
“What are you doing?” asks his wife.
“They’re on sale, only $10 for 24 cans.” he responds.
“Well, put it back. We can’t afford those.”
Without another word, the man obeys his wife and puts the case back on the shelf.
In the next aisle over, the wife sees a bottle of facial cream and puts it in the cart.
“What are you doing?” the man asks.
“It’s my face cream and it’s on sale for $20. It makes me look beautiful.” she replies.
“So does a 24 pack of beer, and it’s half the price!”
(Cooied and pasted from https://viralgfjokes.com/man-wife-grocery-shopping/ but I have seen this joke at a few other places.)
If a good looking woman hits on me we can haggle about the price.
I beg to differ,
not only does beer give things a pleasing soft focus, but it also makes a young lady’s tireless droning about astrology, the relative merits of Gucci bags versus Coach, and myriad anecdotes about sorority sisters you neither know nor care about a lot more tolerable.
Beer headphones. (Beerbuds.) I think you may have just coined something there, tankdemon.
Oh . . . I Beg To Differ
Different women, different results. Do a before 5 shots and after five shots with the same picture.
The so-called science didn’t consider depreciating standards.
Thats why Biden isnt allowed koolaid..he even just smells it and he starts chasing kids…
