☆ 6 takeaways from the massive debate about the SEC's proposed new climate rule
  + stars: | 2022-07-12 | by ( Drake Baer | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min

☆ 17 science-backed ways men can appear more attractive to women
  + stars: | 2016-10-31 | by ( Shana Lebowitz | Drake Baer | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: 1 min
Men — and women — are attracted to people who are as attractive as they are. In one study, for example, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley looked at the behavior of 60 male and 60 female users on an online dating site. "If you go for someone roughly [equal] to you in attractiveness, it avoids two things," Nottingham Trent University psychologist Mark Sergeant, who was not involved with the study, tells The Independent. "If they are much better-looking than you, you are worried about them going off and having affairs. If they are much less attractive, you are worried that you could do better."
