4 Myths of Online Dating Photos Revealed | Live Science
If you're like me, you've definitely been swiping through Tinder on a Friday night and come across someone who either A seems way too hot to be real or B has pictures that look like they were taken with a Nintendo DS. A new study by researchers at the University of Connecticut aimed to find out how "enhancing" your online photos might change people's perceptions of you and discovered that the results were different for men and women. The study had heterosexual participants between the ages of 17 and 36, who were placed into an opposite sex condition and then randomly assigned to view one of four profile pictures of the same male and female. Of these pictures, some had been "beautified" better lighting, makeup, and hair , while others were more "normal" satisfactory lighting, no makeup, and no hair treatment. The participants then answered a series of questions to determine the profile's attractiveness, trustworthiness, and the participant's desire to date them. Unsurprisingly, the females who viewed the "enhanced" photos of males found them to be both more attractive and more trustworthy, perhaps because so often men online have poor quality photos, which makes them seem sketchy or otherwise undesirable.
