According to researchers at the Royal Holloway, University of London, standing next to an ugly friend will make you appear more attractive.<\/p>\n

People’s judgement of how attractive you look vary according to the company you keep according to the researchers.<\/p>\n

The researchers asked volunteers to rate pictures of different faces for attractiveness.<\/p>\n

The volunteers were then asked to rate the same faces placed next to\u00a0pictures with faces perceived to be on the ugly side.<\/p>\n

The researchers found that adding the pictures with faces perceived to be on the ugly side led to the original faces seeming more fancied.<\/p>\n

“We live in a society obsessed with beauty and attractiveness, but how we measure and understand these concepts is still a grey area,” study author Nicholas Furl said.<\/p>\n

“Until now, it’s been understood that a person’s level of attractiveness is generally steady.<\/p>\n

“However, this work demonstrates that the company we keep has an effect on how attractive we appear to others.<\/p>\n

“Rightly or wrongly, the way people look has a profound impact on the way others perceive them.”<\/p>\n

The study was published in the journal Psychological Science<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
