Is Kindness Physically Attractive?
The tl;dr version: The halo effect of beauty also works in reverse: if you start liking a person, they'll start to appear more physically attractive, as well.
Thanks for pointing out the article. My findings are in tension with the ones that the article reports on: I have an instrumental variables type argument based on the data in the opposite direction (which I'll write about soon), and I think the the phenomena in the speed dating data is more likely to generalize because it was collected in a real world setting rather than a lab.
On the other hand, anecdotally, it seems like the situation may be very different if one looks at perceptions based on interactions that occur over longer time horizons than 4 minute speed dates.
