INFLUENCE 67 This "scientist" learned what women find attractive by A/B testing his beard on Tinder
Apps like Tinder know a lot about you, but why should they horde all your dating data? In order to settle an argument, one man conducted an exhaustive experiment on the platform to determine if he was more attractive with a beard or without. He shared the results on the subreddit r/dataisbeautiful. He woke up the next morning to thousands of comments about this methodology, graphs, and why his chin was ugly. The discussion about attractiveness, cultural biases, data, and controlling variables in an online dating environment went viral. But did he actually get a date?
Alli and Jen speak to "The Scientist" about his process, expectations, and why beards are so polarizing.
