If you’ve been following my Twitter feed recent days you probably noticed I’m catching up on New York Times Magazines from the fall. One blurbed a French social scientist who has built an interesting, if not slightly controversial/un-PC, set of studies including:
- Female waitresses who wear red receive up to 25% more in tips (but only from male diners)
- Asking women out on sunny days increases your success by 50+% vs cloudy days
There are others which tend heavily towards the freak in freakonomics…
