      This is a demonstration of something that is already known to be true.
      It's just a demonstration, not a proof of concept. We all prefer the way we look in mirrors better than what we look in photographs, because we simply spend more time looking at ourselves in mirrors than in photographs, that it becomes the norm for us even though we are looking at the mirror image of ourselves every time we look in a mirror!
      Plus most selfie cameras in our phones also mirror the image they shoot on purpose so that we look better in them! If you don't believe me try this... Take a selfie with your front camera and take the same selfie with your back camera in your smartphone, and the one will be the mirrored version of the other! :O

      Then, literally speaking, you should consider becoming a Surgeon if you want to help people stay alive. If the dead do not trouble you, also consider becoming a Forensic Examiner/Pathologist/Anthropologist. I hope this helps, but if it didn't, don't use "literally" when you mean "figuratively" next time.

      @AdamDavis444 10 років тому +3

      You are in good company, Stephanie. Although Charlie's percentage share of the UA-cam fandom has waned in recent years, many people find him anywhere from good-looking to the sexiest UA-camr of all time, with many falling into the "Charlie is attractive" or "Charlie is hot" categories.

  • @holeygeorge

  • @homeworldmusic
    @homeworldmusic 10 років тому +11

    60 percent chose the mirrored image, and one of those changed his mind after first picking the normal image, so the theory is let's say...50 percent. case proven. not

    • @AdamDavis444
      @AdamDavis444 10 років тому

      As with any scientific theory, one study does not prove or disprove the theory, merely adding evidence in support or to the contrary. The sample size (10) was very small, so the mirrored image case has weak support here with any one person eliminating the majority, but the normal image case has strong support with all but one.
      This is why peer review every theory and study and meta-analysis of all studies done on a topic are so important. I may be mistaken, though I believe the scientific support for climate change is 97% of studies. This number is overwhelming, though the other 3% are also incredibly important for the purpose of validating scientific theories. Back to you, Charlie.

    It would be interesting to test the 40% who chose the normal image of themselves further. Maybe a lot of them spend a lot of time on Facebook, or in another way see photos of themselves more often than the 60%... or at least that's a hypothesis worth testing, I think!

    Attractiveness is subjective and entirely dependent on what the other person perceives them to be, not all this media nonsense. Not everyone finds the likes of Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Lawrence attractive and they've all been dolled up anyway so its not really the true them and anyone dolled up is going to look really good anyway!. These couples have partners who love them for them and that's the most attractive beautiful thing in the world. Just work to be your best self and the right people will come into your life and stay.

      @ovt1998 10 років тому +4

      it does not work like that, you get a type of body by your genes, he could have six pack and good formed muscles but never obtain that extreme body mass as the double

    • @Keon994
      @Keon994 10 років тому +6

      ovt1998 extreme? that is not even close to extreme lol. An average man can attain that size from just 1 year of proper diet and exercise without steroids.
      I estimate It would take the skinny guy in the video 2 or 3 years of doing the same. This is because it seems he has poor genetics in the muscle gaining department.
      The body of the more muscular man in the video doesn't even come close to what the average human body is capable of on an elite natural body building level.
      You have no idea what extreme is.

    • @ovt1998
      @ovt1998 10 років тому

      that extreme with a year of exercise that is not possible (unless you use steroids ) and fuck off i know what i am talking about, am using the extreme word without cheating, only natural exercise

    • @Keon994
      @Keon994 10 років тому

      ovt1998 Ok you're right, the average man can't get that body in one year. But saying that the skinny guy can't ever get that body without steroids is just ludicrous.
      It sometimes takes people a long time but sometimes you don't know how well your body can gain muscle if you have never worked out before.
      I maintain that if you have good genetics(not even god tier just good) you can get the more muscular mans body in one year.

    • @ovt1998

    If you want to see what you actually look like, take a slefie, and then look in the mirror, both will be at different angles. The selfie, is how other people see you. You must actually take the picture for it to work, don't just look with the camera otherwise it will look the same as the mirror.

    • @spirititi2303
      @spirititi2303 9 років тому +4

      +Cloud Strife actually no, you see yourself from a 2point's perspective, while pictures are taken from a 1points perspective, and other people see from a 2 point's perspective too. That's why we often 'don't look like ourselves' in pictures.

    I think that imperfections are what make people them. Its what makes them attractive. For example, Charlies mole and spots are what makes him who he is in a way. When they got rid of them, it just didn't look like him. He is attractive just the way he is. :)

    That's a natural reaction......Your pupil dialates because it was brighter after they opened their eyes. So in the dark you pupil is bigger to let more light in so you can see and in bright light it's smaller cause there's enough light. Like when you turn on/off the light, you go blind for a second because your eyes are adjusting to the amount light.

    An interesting thought, maybe when people were looking at the photos of themselves, the reason that the preference was so much closer to 50/50 was because they happen to see lots of photos of themselves (which is what their partner would see) as well as mirror images, whereas they wouldn't see their partners in mirrors as much as they would see them face to face or in photos.

    Not true. Say that your part is on the left side, so on the mirrored image it is on the right. The image you see in the mirror has the part on your left, but it is on the mirror's right. Therefore, the flipped image is what you see in the mirror.

    You agree with what he said and perhaps statistically it is true (result is statistically significant)
