A small study at Hamilton College in New York state suggests that the more often you see someone, the more attractive you find them. A group of 22 male and female singles were shown 112 photos of different individuals, half that had been deemed attractive by some unnamed arbitrary measure. The 22 subjects were to rank the looks of each of the 112 on a scale of 1 to 9 because apparently the universal 1 to 10 ranking system went completely over their heads. Their brainwave activity was measured as they were shown the photos in two different orders. In the second viewing, the “attractive” faces scored higher than in the initial viewing. There was also a notable increase in the brainwaves that are generated when we are excited.
This study, unfortunately, doesn’t tell me that you can go from a 1 to a 10 (in this study’s case 9) if you saturate a member of the opposite sex’s day with your face all day every day for a year. I believe that is called stalking, creep. What it does tell me is that if someone finds you above average attractive in one way or another, the more they encounter you the more attractive you become. The study doesn’t conclude whether it is a familiarity thing or if there are other variables involved since they didn’t test variables like sexual tension. However, it does explain how a 6 can become office hot if you see him or her on a regular basis, or even work together closely. So next time you see the “office 7,” you’re grading on a biological curve, but that doesn’t mean don’t make a move. Studies show we aren’t having enough sex anyways. .

Uh, her butt. Duh.
Please don’t read that, IT.
Or, if your like me, and work in a male dominated industry, any woman under the age of 50 without major a major deformity starts to look pretty good. I’m sure a lot of military guys can relate to this as well.
You are correct in that one. Any female on the ship was acceptable.
Yeah, it’s called the Mermaid Theory. The great Barney Stinson already figured this one out.

This phenomenon caused me to have sexual intercourse with an office 8, but a real life 5.5 🙁
Doesn’t matter. Had sex
Congrats on the sex
Not too surprising. After working at a Big 4 for 3 years and being made aware of numerous inter-office hookups, it’s easy to see why. Spending 50+ hours a week in a 10×11 foot room with someone for months on end will do that to you.
You can tell the stock image girl is both office and real life hot. Would.
how hot they look in work clothes vs regular clothes
Didn’t know the HIMYM wiki was a thing. thanks for that
I can’t see her face but I want to make that girl in the thumbnail my office wife
Soo you’re saying my snapchat stories are helping me win my crush over?!
