00:00What the study really echoed to me was the previous pieces of research, facetious or otherwise, that have come out
00:06about men who say they could fight off a bear or men who say they could beat Serena Williams in
00:11a tennis match.
00:13The Serena Williams, I mean, for a start, none of us can beat Serena Williams in a tennis match.
00:17But I do think that it does reflect this kind of underlying impunity and advantage with which many types of
00:26men walk through life.
00:27You know, and if you are, I mean, look at Boris Johnson, for example.
00:31Boris Johnson would be the absolute classic example of a man who walked through life as though he was never
00:37going to be told no and he was never going to be told he was unattractive or unwanted.
00:42And therefore that he manifested that to be the case.
00:45Women do not typically benefit from that kind of if you think it, you can be it.
00:51Having said that, on the other hand, obviously attractiveness is about so much more than the way people look.
00:57It is about the way they present themselves and the way they perceive themselves.
01:01But as Arian was saying, these men are obviously benefiting from that as well.
01:05So it's kind of like a catch 22.
01:07If society tells you that you are more attractive, then you're going to believe that you're more attractive and therefore
01:12you're going to be perceived as more attractive.
01:14So it's kind of like a catch 22.
