And finally the last one. Writing the alt texts took my ages on this one! But enjoy the comic.
Also I'd like to point out that the book Ulkonäköyhteiskunta: ulkoinen olemus pääomana 2000-luvun Suomessa was a big inspiration when making this comic. If you're interested in the subject, read it!

This video explores how personality traits influence relationships, the science of love, and how positivity resonance enhances connection. It also examines the effect of anxiety on sexual attraction.
Why do we assume someone's attractive, confident, or well-spoken means they’re also smart and honest? Gordy explores the Halo Effect, a psychological bias that influences judgments about people, products, and leaders…

Young men suffer the most from the Halo Effect: the assumption that what is beautiful is good. And so they perceive a pretty woman to be kind, competent, even intelligent. These men are flabbergasted when it turns out a pretty woman can also be unkind, incompetent, even vile. https://t.co/k0khoRj0UG
