Here’s a question for women: If you were trying to dress so you look smart, what would you wear? Librarian glasses, sensible clothes, your hair in a bun, flat shoes, maybe a traditional brooch . . . right?
Wrong.
A new study out of the University of Bedfordshire in England found that people actually think a woman is smarter when she dresses sexy.
The researchers showed people two photos: One of a model wearing a low-cut shirt, a jacket, and a short skirt . . . and one of the model with a long skirt and shirt that didn’t show any skin.
And believe it or not, people who saw her dressed sexy thought she was smarter than the people who saw her dressed more conservatively. They also believed she was more faithful in relationships!
The researchers believe it shows how people’s stereotypes are evolving . . . now we believe that positive traits like brains and attractiveness are connected. Because, you know, good-looking people didn’t have it easy enough already.
