poor guy.. i wish i still had the link to this British Expirament they did with this Oxford Professor.
Anyway.. to sum it up.. they took this 38 year old, pretty good looking Professor of Homeopathic Medicine, to Central London..
He has something like Smoke Jackett on, and like really oldish cloths on.. like... if you gave this guy a tophat and a pipe, he'd look like Sherlock Holmes..
anyway... so.. they placed him in this 3x3 meter plexy-glass box..
now.. women could see him, and they could see that this was an expirament..
so.. they asked women.. ALL women around his age group (18-42), everything about what impression he made on them..
Some of the Questions went something like..
What do you think he does for a living?
How old do you think he is?
What kind of car do you think he owns?
Would you go out with him?
On a scale of 1-10, what would you give him?
Now.. prior to being asked these questions.. they were asked some general questions.. the main one being blended into them, to avoid a tailored responce..
So.. How important are a man's looks.. personality, wealth, sense of humor, love for kids.. yadda yadda..
Answer from women (89%), "looks are not that important, wealth plays no role, but what really matters is his personality, and he should at least "like" kids, because being a good dad is a plus.."
Let's see what the expirament revealed..
(In the Professor cloths)
What do you think he does for a living? (Salesman, Librarian, Store Clerk)
How old do you think he is? (42, 45, 47!)
What kind of car do you think he owns? (No car, a bike, a Sabb)
Would you go out with him? (Maybe (11%), No (88%))
On a scale of 1-10, what would you give him? (-1, 2, 4)
The same women were called to the University, to see an "other model", and share their responces. Little did they know that this "other model", was the same professor, with Giorgio Armani shades, Versace Watch, Valentino Suit, and DKNY shoes, w/ D&G belt and cufflings.
Let's see the results:
What do you think he does for a living? (Lawyer, Doctor, Athlete, Businessman)
How old do you think he is? (25!, 29, 32) "He's 38.. in reality.."
What kind of car do you think he owns? (Austin Martin, BMW, Benz, Porsche)
Would you go out with him? (Maybe (7%), Yes (93%))
On a scale of 1-10, what would you give him? (7, 9, 11)
Conclusion.. after the women got to meet the man, and found out that he was the same person, they were played a clip of them saying on camera "wealth doesn't matter at all, as long as..."
The results speak for themselves..
