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.

It doesn’t bother me. That part was a joke. It was always a surprise to have anyone in the the same league. Maybe if I hadn’t spent the previous night smoking pot I’d have outscored her. I’ll never know.

You left out the part of the woman’s brain that withstands the birth of your children, is concerned with raising them properly, runs your household, probably pays all your bills and keeps the budget, takes care of you when you get sick and whine like sick men often do, and sits and listens to your bitching every night when you come home from work.

(And she might also be a brilliant lawyer or banker, in her ‘spare’ time, and bring home a lot of loot.)

The $10M research grant was conducted by Captain Obvious.

Also watch how many lovely women get traffic tickets.

That has NOTHING at all to do with intelligence!

Are there some differences between males and females? YES, but not in ALL ways.

Just as all men are NOT more intelligent than ALL women, not ALL women are less intelligent than ALL men.

There are differing IQ and intelligence in all groups, no matter how you want to judge any grouping.

Bodily functions, such as giving birth, are determined by actual physical structure/organs.

Strength is another difference, due, again, to the anatomical differences.

Ditto for the ability to withstand different levels of pain, which does vary from person to person and the also the sex of each.

But with identical education, the differences between males and females are almost nihil.

The picture is from the early internet era, possibly mid-1990s.

Oh yeah. It’s been around forever. That’s still my favorite rendition of the concept.

“I looked at your photo on your home page and you were very pretty back then.”

You know, I’m not a relationship expert. But I think I would have left off the words “back then”. Just trying to keep you safe bro.

On the Female Brain depiction they left off the tiny dot representing the vestigial "sense of humor". ;-)

I haven’t seen much of what I’d call ‘humor’ out of you in our previous communications.

You’ve actually seemed extremely crude, and not funny at all.

I had a coworker once that was a botanist. Very cute, nice shape, dumb as a box of rocks and twice as lazy. She admitted to banging the professors at college. She admitted to being on birth control pills since she was 13.

She was also a belt and suspenders girl, she needed both just to keep her pants on.

I’m serious, she screwed her way through everything. Until she found a supervisor she could not seduce.

Hmmm... I'm picking up a disparity in language capability here... but it seems to be gender-reversed, since I take it from your comments you're an XX. I'm so confused!

Not surprising at all.

There have been numerous studies done over the years confirming more attractive people get treated better and are judged less harshly than average people, and way better than unattractive people. The bias has been clearly proven.
