Attractive female students got lower grades during remote learning: study
NY post ^ | Alex Mitchell

New research suggests that attractive female college students accustomed to earning high grades in person aren’t making the same marks during remote learning.

A Swedish study, published in the journal Economics Letters, probed the impact of a student’s looks on their performance, both in the classroom and online.

The better their looks, the higher their grades for some in-person courses such as business and economics, according to the study. Courses like math and physics — where scoring is based more on tests than projects, speaking and reports — did not see the connection.

But when the courses were taught online, the grades of attractive females dropped.

Attractive male students — who, according to PsyPost, “tend to be more persistent and have a greater influence on their peers” — suffered no such setback.

“Women are not very good at this because of their small brains.”

Wow. Are you just on a misogyny bender today—or always so simple minded?

In high school the only fellow student to outscore me on the SAT was a female. Just a point or two, but the humiliation still burns...

Men accomplish things men are designed to accomplish.

Women accomplish things women are designed to accomplish.

We made the mistake of believing the lie that the metric is the same for both.

Who in this study got to decide if a girl “is pretty” ?

Yeah, well, Time & Tide waits for no man! ;)

My BFF is a STUNNER. Her GRANDMA was a Pin-Up Girl in the 40’s. They have won the Genetic Lottery in that bloodline of females, for sure!

Anyhow, her daughter was also a stunner. She worked for Hooters, but as a Hostess, not a scantily-clad waitress. Her Mom (my BFF) was NOT please about it but Daughter explained:

‘Mom! I’m ONLY going to LOOK LIKE THIS for a very short time in my life. I’m going to make the most of it! I’m NOT doing ANYTHING illegal or immoral. I’m. Just. Pretty!’

The girl put herself through a private Catholic College and came out with an advanced degree in Accounting with NO Student Debt and went on to work for very impressive accounting firms in her career before she settled down and became a wife and THEN a Mother. :)

God GIVES YOU THE TOOLS you need to get through life. Some fail to recognize them. ;)

>> Men at the high end of the intelligence scale cannot be outcompeted by women.

True. And men at the EXTREME high end of the intelligence scale keep that fact to themselves when in the company of women, particularly strong intelligent competitive women.

Especially if they happen to be married to such women and wish to remain so.

(If you know what I mean, and I think you do.) :-)

Quite a difference when the instructor cannot see the hot body and sexy eyes.

Careful. If you say that make 3 times she’ll rise back out of the sea and eat the planet.

Why did it bother you that it was a female?

Would it have been different if it had been a male?

“Women are not very good at this because of their small brains.”

That's not what he said. Anyway, womens' brains aren't smaller, just different...

That is exactly what he said on another thread today:

On second thoughts. Her answer about consoling the children seems strange. Like she does not need to be consoled. Check her phone records. Women are not very good at this because of their small brains.
