Am I ugly? Are you? The science of how we judge each other’s looks.

Shameless Care and Robert were featured in the Daily Mail. Some of the comments called Robert ugly. Ouch.So naturally, we’re making chicken salad out of chicken poop and turning internet cruelty into a science episode.Are we more or less attractive than we think? Is there any objective way to measure beauty? Why can one person find you hot while another thinks you look like a haunted thumb? And what do studies actually say about faces, symmetry, confidence, familiarity, sexiness, and the toxic sewer known as online comments?In this episode, Anna and Robert discuss the science of attraction, why beauty is partly shared and partly personal, why static photos are terrible data, and why strangers on the internet are not qualified to grade your face.
