      scientifically of course cause if they compliment a man, they might get the wrong idea

      Yes, no surprise. Women have a massive in-group bias, with some evidence suggesting they view the majority of men as below average.

      Does this explain why women feel significantly more pressure about their appearance than men do? If the whole world is subconsciously holding female faces to a higher standard of attractiveness that has real social consequences beyond just an interesting study result.

      I know the article said it’s controlling outside factors, but what exactly does that mean? Is this accounting for makeup? And women also take more care for fashion and skin care. Does this account for that? I quickly skimmed the article and couldn’t find the actual study, just vague comments. I feel like a study like this needs all makeup and hairstyle removed from factors.

      Women also have to perceive if other women are a threat due to them being more attractive. They could potentially steal resources from their mate.

      I mean it makes sense, evolutionarily women probably get a bigger reproduction advantage out of being pretty than men do. Men can lean more on factors like wealth, status, leadership, etc

      I mean, women are the most beautiful thing on this planet, so I understand.

      I mean it makes sense. In my experience women way overestimate the attractiveness of other women

      Well they do wear all kinds of makeup and  are taught to closer attention to their looks, so not really a surprise.

      I wonder what would happen if they did this without make up and having the hair hidden.
