More attractive people elicit more positive first impressions. This effect is called the attractiveness halo, and it is shown when judging those with more attractive faces, bodies, or voices. Moreover, it yields significant social outcomes, including advantages to attractive people in domains as far-reaching as romance, friendships, family relations, education, work, and criminal justice. Physical qualities that increase attractiveness include youthfulness, symmetry, averageness, masculinity in men, and femininity in women. Positive expressions and behaviors also raise evaluations of a person’s attractiveness. Cultural, cognitive, evolutionary, and overgeneralization explanations have been offered to explain why we find certain people attractive. Whereas the evolutionary explanation predicts that the impressions associated with the halo effect will be accurate, the other explanations do not. Although the research evidence does show some accuracy, it is too weak to satisfactorily account for the positive responses shown to more attractive people.

Using Tinder to Understand Interpersonal Communication
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

Nowadays, among all the online dating sites and apps, Tinder is one of the most innovative apps because link users’ contacts from Facebook and the apps’ algorithm immediately gives them an endless photos of potential mates with no questionnaires or forms –as the previous traditional dating sites and apps do-, only faces, and then users need to swipe right if a user likes a person, and by the contrary swipe left if not (Bertoni, 2014).  Tinder is the biggest player in the online dating market. In the last three years, the newest app has reached 30 million users representing one fourth of the total market. But, to our knowledge, the research on addressing what makes this online dating app more or less interactive and how the communicative affordances offered by this online dating app may have an effect on the subsequent romantic outcomes is scarce.
