caroljane Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 How far does another person's appearance influence our conscious and subconscious reactions to that person? This arises from Adam's comment on Obama on another thread, "This is what a tyrant looks like." And it brings to mind the Christian tradition of the devil assuming supernaturally attractive guises, wolves in sheep clothing, etc.For example, Obama is magnetically handsome, even with those ears. So was Romney ('memba him?), but his good looks were one-dimensional, sort of like the old Superman flat on the comic book page. Would Obama have won the female vote if he had had all his other attributes but looked like his father, instead of like a darker copy of his grandfather?I know there have been tons of psychological studies on this...but I haven't read many of them.
