If you explain this & you've cracked about a dozen issues with human relationships that social sciences have been struggling with for years.

so approach I had in mind: (i) have people identify genders to whom attracted; (ii) rate attractiveness of photos; (iii) test differences
-
How would you rate (ii)? Better for you to provide the photos to the subjects right? So use photos from studies on consensus on beauty? …

contrast ratings by people attracted to depicted gender vs. ratings by those not weight by variance of first group's ratings probably

So you are comparing results of one study controlled for sexual orientation & another not controlled for it?

… I might be babbling nonsense anyway since I have no training in statistics or such studies at all. But …

… If one study is not controlled for sexual orientation, wouldn't it skew heterosexual because that's the majority?

How attractive someone is, is literally in the eye of the beholder. Diff. groups measure beauty differently. Is one more right than another?

well it being ppl hoping to attract men at the top cld imply it's that ppls skills at judging self get sharper when theres more "pressure"

Oh that's good. And maybe this dominates the attraction to own gender advantage I imagined
