Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles How men react to different levels of makeup online this was a really interesting social experiment, a beauty-related social experiment. Her name is Brinton Parker. What she wanted to see was how men would react dependent on how much makeup she wore, So she created three completely identical accounts on Tinder, one where she had very minimual makeup, almost bare-face-makeup. The other one average amounts of makeup. And then finally the third account with heavy makeup. And then she swiped, 'cause you guys are familiar with Tinder, I'm not. But you basically "swipe" to accept someone. So she "swiped" the first one hundred suggested matches for herself. This is what her findings were. So she saw that men actually flocked to the bare-faced version of her. But their language was different. They almost treated her more like a friend than a hook-up. Now the person with average makeup that's where she got most of the flirtation. And where most the men I guess wanted to take her out on a date. And then finally with the heavy makeup. It was people assumed she was more, based on the language, sexually promiscuous. And then also that she was more stylish. So she would get comments like "dope style", "I like this style". She did say which I thought is really interesting that she was actually quite refreshed by most of the conversations that most of the people seem that they genuinely wanted to get to know her even though Tinder is specifically based on your physical appearance. But she said of course there were some standouts, some negative standouts that definitely correlated to her sexual willingness to how much makeup she was wearing. Interesting thoughts. Five words or less. Men make up your mind. This experiment needs more foundation. Can't make this stuff up. Tinder is the night. Okay, so...First of all, what do you guys think about the results of this experiment? And I do think that we need to just talk about the fact that it's not the ideal sample size. A hundred people. It's not gonna have the significance, statistically, nor there's other variables involved. But what do you still think? I have a problem of calling it a social experiment to begin with. It lacks credibility. What about all the other factors that are not being counted here? There's backgrounds, there's clothing, there's lighting, there's photo composition. there's a fact that she is beautiful no matter how she looks in all the pictures. You don't know about the men coming up to her and you don't know about are they judging by social economic status. How does that work? It's Tinder though. This is not like, you don't set up a huge dating profile. You don't get the opportunity to find out about anyone anyway. I think she had plenty of controls. I think she has like it's the same person. It's basically the same photos. She did like change some they were like I'm outside and an outdoorsy person. I disagree 'cause in the no makeup one she had a picture with her wearing like a beany and she is outside in a forest, she was very outdoorsy. There's one in the medium makeup where she is holding a drink, so men maybe take that as a "woo", that drink means. She is ready to "gagedi gagedi gagedi " Yeah! I agree. 'Cause I don't think makeup is necessarily the right thing to say she changed, because I think it would better presensitized like, "do men like an outdoorsy-looking person", "or like a person who looks like they wanna go out and do it". And I think it's been proven by the reactions she got --- people picked up on her. They picked up on that instead just being like you know this looks like somebody that's clearly promiscuous, 'cause I'm equating their sexual availability to wearing makeup. They saw more stylized because the pictures were very stylized. So that's a very good point! But do you think she has any sort legitimacy here? With her claim that men will equate one woman's...uh... Yes! Well, first of all what was frustrating is the medium amount of makeup getting the most, she said flirtations and disturbing. And there are a list of disturbing comments. And to me, as I'd say most of us, we are like in the medium makeup section, right? I mean, if you were to post pictures, would you do full makeup...? I think I'd like to go too off the board on mine. I've been wanting to tell you that, but I thought I'd tell you in private. Each beard hair is individually placed by my guy I have a guy who does that, beard guy. I don't like that. If I wanna wear that much makeup, I don't want that type of attention. Do you think you get objectified more, Kim, when you do pile on more makeup? Or do you think it also has to do with the fact that your clothing choices and how friendly you are. I think that place more into it than the makeup. It's easier to detect what you are wearing than being like "oh that's that kind of girl. I mean, lot's of different kinds of girls wear the medium amount of makeup. Right! But I think heavy makeup is like... It communicates whether you are consciously or not that I spend lots of time trying to get you to notice me. Or I care about my appearance or I'm an artistic person. It could mean a lot of things. It could. But in her defense... Those all fall under "to get you to notice me"... I think, in the guys' mind, I totally understand women being like "oh today I'm just gonna put a little extra into it 'cause I got the time"...whatever. I've known girls who do that. I agree with you. Normally, when women wear more makeup but usually it correlates with the outfit. They are gonna be dressed up more, and I think that lands your point as well as the fact that I think subconsciously when men see and women see girls that are dressed down and normally when you dress down and your normally bare-faced makeup, you do put off more a grounded vibe, which does sometimes lead to people thinking that you are less available or promiscuous. For us, guys, in the way you go about doing it, trying to get chicks, you try to do on their, try to do "all right all right" on their level.
