What others see may define who you are…
In France there’s a psychologist, Professor Nicolas Gueguen,
who roams the North-West, asking young women for their telephone numbers
So far he’s found that:
- Men getting out of expensive versus cheap cars are more likely to get the numbers of passing women.
- A fire-fighter’s uniform makes women more likely to divulge the digits.
- A touch on the forearm makes a man more likely to get a woman’s number (it also works on men, see 10 Psychological Effects of Nonsexual Touch).
- And, on a slightly different tack, why loud music in bars increases alcohol consumption.
