"People who think they're attractive are less likely to wear masks"

that’s odd. I wear at least two masks at a time…

Quoting the article:

>>"Our findings suggest that mask-wearing can shift from being a self-protection measure during the COVID-19 pandemic to a self-presentation tactic in the post-pandemic era."

For mundane activities such as walking a dog, people were less likely to care about their looks and thus, were less motivated to wear a mask. But those who see themselves as attractive were still more likely to feel the need to make a good impression.<<

A) The point of the mask is not necessarily to protect yourself, but to protect others from your germs.

B) Walking the dog isn’t really a good test of this, because masks aren’t needed for outdoor activities.

But C) WTF-ers are all good looking, so we’re no longer masking?
