Study: Attractive People Less Likely to Wear Masks When Needed

A new study reveals that people who consider themselves attractive are less likely to wear masks – to prevent Covid-19. Apparently, it’s “all about you,” if you like how you look.

Researchers asked 1,030 participants to evaluate their attractiveness, and how likely they were to wear a mask.

Those who ranked themselves as “attractive” were less likely to wear them. And those who considered themselves “unattractive” were more likely to mask up. [What about regular people, who aren’t narcissistic?]
