We’ ve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people, and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school, given special attention by their teachers. In life, as in love, beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you that when it comes to online dating, good looks could actually hurt you?
According to a recent survey of 43,000 users by OK Cupid, an online dating site, the more men disagree about a woman’ s looks, the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match? " We now have mathematical evidence that minimizing your ’weaknesses’ is the opposite of what you should do," says the site’s co-founder, Christian Rudder. "If you’re a little fat, play it up. If you have a big nose, play it up. Statistically, the guys who don’ t like it can only help you, and the ones who do like it will be all the more excited. "
The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good, but online, as in work and life, women who are too attractive don’t always have an advantage.
Beauty creates more competition—among women, taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction: and among men, who are competing for the most attractive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe it’ s possible for a woman to suffer for being " too good-looking": why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers: or, finally, why men on OK Cupid end up contacting women who may ultimately be less attractive—because it removes the opposition. " If you suspect other men are uninterested, it means less competition," explains Rudder. " You might start thinking: maybe she’ s lonely... maybe she’ s just waiting to find a guy who appreciates her... at least I won’ t get lost in the crowd. "
In the end, being beautiful will always have its blessings—but sometimes, there’ s more to an advantage than meets the eye.
The main idea of the text is that a woman’ s good looks______.
选项
A、help to shape ideas of beauty
B、can put her at a disadvantage
C、end up with blessings for her
D、will always appeal to the eye
答案
B
解析
推断题。根据第四段可知,美丽引起更多的竞争,很多招聘单位都认为长得太好看的女性可能容易受苦;女性同伴们对于长得好的女性更加挑剔;在OK丘比特网站男性最终找的都是不怎么吸引人的女性。因此可推知,女性的美貌不总是带来优势,有时候也会带来不利。故选B。
