Attractive female students got lower grades during remote learning: study

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.

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

Maybe the attractive females had trouble using computers.

See? Even complicated problems usually have simple explanations.

So, you really believe that highly intelligent men are smarter than highly intelligent women on every issue?

And they get really good grades when they wear mini skirts and pull a Kamala on the professors.

Being ‘pretty’ got me through Calculus in High School. I have no other explanation for it.

Oh, wait - I WAS dating my teacher at the time... *SMIRK*

"Smarter" is a subjective term. The statement above referred to particular fields of study and men at the top end of the intelligence curve will outcompete women in intellectual disciplines, almost always. Women may be "smarter" about relationships and so on, but that is not what we are talking about.

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

Oh. I guess Madame Curie, Mrs. Thatcher, and a long list of others were just ‘chopped liver’.

Decades ago, a coworker of mine told me he was going to earn a PhD so that he could become a professor.

His primary motive was to have the opportunity to trade grades for sex with female students.

On every issue, no. But om most issues yes.

There are always going to be outliers.

The stupidest thing our civilization ever bought into was the cabal-generated competition between men and women.

Women will never have the intelligence to be men.

Men will never have the intelligence to be women.

It’s two different categories of intelligence.
