Females' perception of their own attractiveness seems to follow
a curve (real vs. perceived) which is different from that of males. In particular,
less than mean-attractive women exaggerate their under-attractiveness
and women who are (significantly, and self-perceived as) higher than
mean attractiveness exagerate the priority of that dimension.
(No one is mean-attractive, they are
less or more attractive; thought what is the "mean" depends on your
upbringing, I suspect "like your mom during a certain
imprinting period" is a relevant input to that individual computation).

If folks had accurate self-images, the curve would be a 45 degree straight line.
Instead, it is warped down below average, and warped high above average.

I was just told that male rats shown pictures of Paris Hilton are less sensitive to pain
than female rats.

Ok.

Maybe pictures of humans stress rats, but male rats are less sensitive to stress.
Stress, pain, it feeds into the same "aversion" system. I asked about controls
(Paris vs. Hitler vs. natural predator) but there were none. The more questions
I ask, the more frustrated I become that attention was given to this crap.
So you did something weird and then found a male v. female response difference?
Why don't you try disco music, or Brady Bunch reruns?

PS: Don't you no never mind that Pakistan is about to have a nuclear garage sale.

UBL sez USA support nasty dictators. How could he? How's that waterboarding treating you?
