Students and Miscellaneous: She's lost control again

She's lost control again

By wellgreat - 14/04/2009 05:11 - United States

Today, I was in the Student Union when a man a came up to me and asked if I wanted to be in a study to see how men acted differently when working with attractive women. Flattered and taken aback, I agreed. He then told me I would be part of the control group to see how they act around plain looking women. FML

Today, I signed up for a psych experiment. I was a damsel in distress on the side of the highway, but no one stopped. Back at the lab, another participant said a half-dozen people helped her. The professor was testing how attractiveness affects altruism. I was the unattractive subject. FML

Today, I filled out a political survey for a psychology experiment. A really cute girl was doing it, too. We hit it off and flirted through the surveys, and I asked her out when it was done. Then I found out it was really an attraction experiment and she was in on it. She was acting. FML

Today, I went to work to find two new beautiful trainees. I thought maybe I might be able to hook up with one of them, so I walk up and flash my blue eyes and begin to act like a gentleman. Not five minutes into our conversation the girls ask me if there are any cute guys working here. FML

Today, a very attractive man asked me out. I'd have been flattered if I weren't the nurse assigned to his laboring wife. FML

Gaslighting 101

Today, I volunteered to be a "mentally stable" person in a psychology experiment at my university. Little did I know, they'd paired me with a psychology grad student who asked me a series of increasingly bizarre and personal questions about my life. I ended up questioning my own sanity. FML

Today, I was shopping with my friends and I got asked by a man if I could be in one of his commercials. I obviously said yes without thinking twice. I then found out that he wanted me to be the before picture for an acne control moisturizer. FML

Today, I went downtown with my friends. A group of guys came up to us and started hitting on everyone except me. Then one of them said, "Do you girls hang out with her to make yourselves look better?" FML

Today, I was sitting in Walmart and I saw an attractive woman walking by. Being the single guy I am, I went up to her and asked if she needed help with carrying her groceries. She responded with "You know I'm a guy right?" FML

Today, my biology professor was giving a lecture to everyone and used me as an example. For what? Traits men are repulsed by in potential mates. FML

That's just rude... they could have at least you keep your thoughts that you were the attractive woman.

Yeah I agree with number two. That's a bad experiment, you don't tell the control that they are the control. That's like telling a group that they are getting the placebo, it's kinda ruins the experiment.

Fake. I'm too lazy to read the other comments but I'm sure plenty of people have pointed out that the experimenter would never tell the participant which group there are in. They shouldn't even directly tell you what they are studying. Nice try though.

Not really an FML. I'd say you deserve it for thinking that you are hot.

"Today, I found out I'm not as hot like I thought I was. FML." Tough shit. Yes, the guy could have been nicer, but that doesn't mean you aren't full of yourself.

So... according to him, you look plain. According to one person. This invalidates the experiment right then and there, as saying that someone looks plain based on the subjective judgment of one person is not scientific. I also agree with #8. And, furthermore, judghing by this guy's complete ignorance of the the scientific process which has been drilled by every science class that I've been in since eighth grade and certainly should be known by anyone actually conducting a study, he's a complete moron and should go suck it, his opinion is worth shit.
