Haha, this question is really good and worth studying.

After reading many other answers, including high-read answers, they all basically have the same explanation:

Because beauty and filters are turned on.

But, is this question finished?

Of course not. If I say there are economic principles in this, would you believe it?

OK, in addition to the explanation of beauty filters, I tried to give another explanation.

There is a principle in economics called "survivor bias", which means that what you can see are actually survivors, that is, those who win, while those who lose have already They were eliminated, so they were silent. Therefore, when we make judgments, we are actually analyzing the winners, so it is unreal.

For example, if you see everyone in your circle of friends showing off their wealth and happiness every day, you wonder why everyone is so rich and happy? In fact, this is not the case at all. Most people are not rich or happy at all. The reason why you can't see them is because they don't post on WeChat Moments at all.

Another example is that you see all kinds of news about positive energy every day, and you feel that everyone is positive. But the fact is that TV does not report on things that lack positive energy. Of course you watch them. not see.

So, even if the filters and beautification are turned off, the handsome guys and beauties who have been recommended still have a good foundation.

Then why are there not so many beauties in reality?

Two reasons.

First, you live in an environment where there are no beautiful women at all. Take Beijing as an example. If you live outside the South Fifth Ring Road, how can you have fashionable beauties? Try Shuangjing Sanlitun instead.

Second, as I just said, most people have no good looks. In reality, the few beauties must have been diluted in society.

This is the real cause of this problem! !

It’s really not as simple as turning on beauty.

This question is very interesting. Douyin seems to have become an entertainment APP for more and more people. The explosion of beautiful and handsome men on Douyin is worth studying. Let me talk about my views.

Although we all know the powerful function of beauty + filter.
