This hairstyle says dumb as a brick, at least on her...

[Mr. Jeeves]

Men with medium-length, side-parted hair are viewed as the most intelligent and affluent -- great for that job interview. However, men with these styles are also seen as the most narrow-minded.

Hey, that's me all around! And if I weren't narrow-minded, I wouldn't have lasted this long on FR without getting banned. Twenty years ago, though, I had very long hair. Things change...

Someone with a hairstyle like this will help you smoke a brick.

Not an April Fools' joke - there really is such a professor at Yale (!):

"Marianne LaFrance, Professor of Psychology and Women's and Gender Studies
Marianne LaFrance joined the Yale faculty in 1998. Her research focuses on how gender and power are reflected in and maintained by subtle communication processes. Nonverbal behaviors are of particular interest because they lie out-of-awareness and typically operate off-the-record. Also, nonverbal cues can simultaneously reveal information about an individual's identity and attitudes as well as shape and sustain social relationships. LaFrance's goal is to determine why facial expressions like smiling, or linguistic strategies like apologizing, reveal clear gender differences. Her conceptual model, called Expressivity Demand Theory, aims at specifying when people display such behaviors and what functions they serve in social interaction."

"In related research, LaFrance is investigating how gender and power affect patterns of implicit causality resulting from verbal descriptions. Studies have shown that attributions for interpersonal events are substantially altered by the inclusion of gender or power information. Now, she is interested in determining why agents are seen as more causal when they are described as behaving toward women than when they behave towards men. The organizing theme of LaFrance's research is to understand how subtle and implicit messages reveal, justify, and preserve unequal social structures. La France completed her graduate work at Boston University."

Right away, I knew Velqueeta had it goin' ON.

[stylin_geek]

Humph, a good hairstyle on a geek does not make any less of a geek. (speaking from personal experience)

However, now that I've gone short hair combed straight back, no part, I guess I just don't fit in.

Life is always better when one can remain unclassified.

* Does length matter? -- It is no surprise that women with long, straight, blond hairstyles, like Gwyneth Paltrow and Dashing Dasher, are perceived as the sexiest and most affluent.

YAHOO!!!

I'm Sexy! and Affluent!
