What? No way!

Neurontic skewers two studies leading to incredibly obvious conclusions:

Attractive young psychology professor is stunned to discover that “it sucks to be rejected based on how you look.”

Three new studies spearheaded by University of Buffalo Assistant Professor Lora Park provide the “first known evidence that some people anxiously expect that they will be rejected by others because of their physical appearance,” according to a January 27 article in Science Daily. But wait that’s not all: Park’s research also suggests that people who deem themselves unattractive are “preoccupied with their body and weight in unhealthy ways.”

In addition, a Swedish researcher discovered that some people are more prone to gain weight than others.

I actually thought (hoped?) this was Onion-style satire, until I clicked through the links. Absolutely terrifying!
