A recent study conducted by researchers at Cardiff University found that women found men who wore medical masks more attractive. Do you agree? Do we agree? This week, we discuss their research findings, possible reasons for this preference, and pre-pandemic perceptions of mask-wearing. Don’t miss out on where evolutionary psychology fits in all of this and our (hot?) takes on mask-wearing and attractiveness.
TLDR: Perhaps there would be more trips to Paradise if the men on Single’s Inferno wore medical masks.
