Just last night, I was so happy.

And ofcourse that means that today, I am in the darkest dumps. Sometimes, I think it is my own imagination and because others refuse to clarify. But granted that I am a woman and the female brain exercises it's imagination more than neccessary.
Many, many days back, I and Unat and Em were getting ready to go out into the city for some good old eating, shopping, the usual. One of us was cribbing about our looks and considering I am the ugliest of the three, I THINK it was me. That's when Em told us about this research thing she had read sometime back :

See, a while back a few scientists started researching beauty amongst women. So this was the experiment.




A group of very average looking young women with impressive bio-datas were gathered. Almost all of them had/ had had self-image issues despite having achieved a lot. Some were CEOs and stuff. But all of them were average looking. You wouldn't walk into a bar and notice them at all.

So the same number of men were called in too, though they were just randomly chosen.

The men and women were not allowed to know/ see each other before the experiment.

Anyway, for the experiment the men and women were paired up. All the men recieved bio-datas of the women but instead of the real woman's photo, they gave each of the men a photograph of a model/ really good looking woman. (So basically all the guys thought they hit jackpot cuz she was hot and she was talented.)



The men and women were given a telephone and they had to talk to their respective pairs. The women though had no idea about their own photo being replaced by a model's photo. They were made to talk for around 4 hours.

After the 4 hours the men and the women were shown their respective partners.



75% of the men found their partners more attractive than the model whose photo was put. You know why that was? Because obviously the guy flirted with her, complimented her. With every compliment she bacame more confident and that made them seem even more attractive than the superhot model.

See what it means is that, even a very average looking woman can be so beautiful if only men tell them.

I'd like to believe that this is true. And I do. What most people don't know about women is that none of them find  themselves beautiful. And I'm beginning to think that all of them, except me ofcourse, are.
I just want to sleep now.
