(10 pts) IF YOU ANSWER THIS ESSAY, LEAVE THE OTHER TWO BELOW BLANK In a review of online data conducted by dating site OkCupid, the people who received the most attention via messages are people with polarizing features (Rudder, 2014). These individuals may have physical features people either love or hate compared to what we typically see as average features being rated as attractive. In another study of the OkCupid site, Rudder (2010) found that when women showed more cleavage and looked flirtatiously yet directly at the camera, they received more messages from men. For men in the study, looking away from the camera, displaying muscles, and posing with an animal increased the attention they received from women. Use research and theory on (heterosexual) attraction to explain these findings.   [HINT: Make sure you explain why polarizing features increased interest regardless of gender and then explain why each of the specific desirable characteristics increased interest for women and for men noted in the dating research.]

(5 pts) IF YOU ANSWER THIS ESSAY, YOU MUST ANSWER THE OTHER SHORTER ESSAY AND LEAVE THE LONGER ESSAY ABOVE BLANK You have a friend who is involved with a person–we’ll call Moz. Your friend really likes Moz, but Moz likes your friend and someone else, who your friend does not know. Moz said they don’t plan on continuing this love triangle and will make a decision in a week or so after they get through exams and a big writing assignment. Knowing that you took this course, your friend begs for advice on how to win over Moz and make them fall in love. First, give your friend one piece of advice to improve their friendship with Moz, one piece of advice to increase Moz’s attraction to them, and two pieces of advice to help Moz feel love toward your friend. Second, explain how each piece of advice relates to research or theory corresponding to the topic.   [HINT: Make your advice concrete and specific. In other words, don’t say something general like be supportive to Moz. Give your friend details on how to behave, what to do.]
