American Men Consider Brains Over Beauty, Study Finds |
American men prefer brains over beauty three times more than their European counterparts, a study by the Beautiful People Network reveals.
Beautiful People Network (BP), the controversial online members' club for the beautiful, monitored the online habits of its male members over a five month period and found that American men spend nearly four times longer reviewing each female applicant's profile than European men who seem to simply vote on an applicant's photo without considering their personality profile.
The patented rating module developed by BeautifulPeople.net, where existing members of the opposite sex vote on who will be accepted or rejected in to their intimate fold over a 72-hour period, is revealing exciting sociological trends. Extreme though it may sound, it is truly a perfectly democratic system that ensures that the members have complete control over their coveted community.
"American men are fed up with many women's staid assumption that they are simply interested in physical appearance only, and our male members want to make it known that they do take personality and substance into account," says Genevieve Maylam, US managing director of BeautifulPeople. "It is fascinating to see that American men are far more evolved than their British and European counterparts, voting with more than just basic aesthetics in mind."
Conversely, BP's female members around the globe spend about the same amount of time as American men when reviewing each male applicant's picture and profile revealing they too care about what is on the inside as much as the outside.
"We have found that females are spending a lot more time than men reviewing a profile before casting their vote," said Greg Hodge, CEO of BeautifulPeople. "Interestingly though, men have a far greater chance of breaking through the club's virtual velvet ropes if it is revealed they have a successful career or display a fondness for travel, children, and cooking!"
BeautifulPeople does not define beauty; it merely gives an accurate representation of what American society's ideal of beauty is. The people are finally being given a chance to define beauty and all data and findings are coming from their habits and preferences. With over 50,000 applicants having applied, these findings are as comprehensive as they are fascinating. |
