Internet dating study: Women can tell how good-looking men are even without photo

The study that is set to be released following psychologist Rebecca Brand from the Villanova University in Philadelphia, found that women were able to determine good-looking men from their ‘uglier’ counterparts, without the need to view a profile picture.

More appealing men were able to portray their level of attractiveness in their self-description whilst individuals not regarded in the same esteem failed to convey the confidence that women respond to.

Brand concluded: ‘Online dating does not seem to level the playing field.’
