1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: You know, it's our job, you know, my job, our 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: job to sort to shift through all the content available 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: in the world and present you with the very best. 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: And this morning, I want to hit you with some 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: revolutionary new research that's come out on the cutting edge. 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 1: And here's the headline. I'll just get right to it. 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: You know, why bury the lead? You want to look 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: good in photos, research says, and I kid, you not 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: stand next to someone ugly. Now, I've been saying the 10 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: opposite for a while. I've been saying that when I 11 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: was on the dating apps, what I would see is 12 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: that people would post group pictures and multiple group pictures, 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: and it would be a little hard to discern which 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: one it was that I was supposedly swiping right or 15 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: left on in the pictures. The problem is, and I'm 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: just being honest, what I have found in the people 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: who have a multitude of group pictures on their dating 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: profile is that they're trying to elevate themselves because they're 19 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,639 Speaker 1: not the most attractive person in the picture. First of all, 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: why do that to yourself? Right? Like, if I look 21 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: at a group of people, it's only natural in my head, 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: especially if it's a dating app and we all know 23 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: that's a hot or not game until you swipe one 24 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: way or the other, right, I mean, that's all it is. 25 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: Until I meet you and talk to you and get 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: to know you. It's hot or not. But I look 27 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: at a picture and be like, well, she's hot, or 28 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: maybe she's hot. But there's a let's sen there are 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: five people in the pictures. You only now have a 30 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: twenty percent chance that I think you're the hottest person 31 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: in the picture. Like, there's a very good chance that 32 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: I will like someone else, So why do that to yourself? 33 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: But in this case, what you should be doing is 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: getting a bunch of ugly people around you and then 35 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: taking pictures with ugly people. Another thing is about group 36 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: pictures is that people will ultimately only post on their 37 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: social media the one where they look the best. They 38 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: don't care how you look, which is why we had 39 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: to go to a group We had to go to 40 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: a group review when it comes to pictures on this show, 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: because I think we all have a tendency to pick 42 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: the one that makes us look the individual dually looked 43 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: the best, Paulina, that's me. I'm guilty of that. No, 44 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: I think we all are honestly we are. We have 45 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: to keep the circle smaller now and involve people from 46 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: the outside because I'm not. Because otherwise it's like we 47 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: all look like donkeys and Kaylen's perfect, or you know, 48 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: you all look like donkeys and I look perfect. It's 49 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: just the way that it goes. 50 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: But I had to go through our group photos, and 51 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: that was also very difficult because there's a lot of 52 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: us and somebody's eyes always closed, somebody's always looking the 53 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: other way. I'm like, we're gonna really need folks. 54 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: What you don't know is the pictures you saw went 55 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: through eight layers of filtering before you saw them. Well 56 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: for sure, but I'm saying like, like you only like 57 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: Jason saw some, I saw some, Hosea says something. So 58 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: the ones you got were narrowed down from about a thousand, 59 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: so we had multiple layers of approval. 60 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 2: My point is that it was still extremely difficult to 61 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: find one where we all looked good. 62 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to read it on that one picked. 63 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't look good. 64 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: I know what I'm talking about. Same Caleb picked the 65 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: one where she looked the best, and now everybody's that's 66 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: what we see. This is what I mean serving SuperM 67 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: it's a natural tendency to only look at yourself in. 68 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: The pictures, and you will understand, no, I'm good, but. 69 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: If you want to look good, I mean, here's the 70 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: problem on this show. I couldn't It was impossible. I 71 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: wasn't able to do it. I wasn't able to stand 72 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: next to ugly people because it doesn't exist. But our 73 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: perception of someone's personality can be influenced by the attractiveness 74 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: of the people around them. And I think it can 75 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: go the other way too. If everyone around you is 76 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: really attractive, and somehow maybe you're around a bunch of 77 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: tens and you're a nine, this is a problem if 78 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: you're the nine. It really is. When a moderately attractive 79 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: person is seen next to someone less attractive, they are 80 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: more likely to be judged having positive traits like kindness 81 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: or friendliness. Even this effect, known as the ugly bystander boost, 82 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: suggests that our brains make snap judgment based on comparisons 83 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: with those nearby. The study found that moderately attractive faces 84 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: were rated more positively when paired with less attractive faces. 85 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: Imagine happen to be that person who gets to decide 86 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: with the base sign is for good looking and bad looking. Additionally, 87 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: people made judgments when they made judgments more quickly in 88 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: these fairings, indicating an emotional response inencing influencing their decisions. 89 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: He's finding highlight how are social perceptions not only solely 90 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: based on individual features, but are also shaped by the 91 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: context and comparisons that we make, often without conscious awareness. 92 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: So there, if you want to be seen as the 93 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: hottest person in the group, then just be the hottest 94 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: person in the group. Hello, I'm really glad we did 95 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: this research.
