#30: Don’t Take it Personally
Maxim magazine posted an article about an alleged new study that claims “women are happier when their partner is less attractive than they are”. They used a photo of actress Ema Stone and actor Jonah Hill from the movie Superbad. They were trying to illustrate the premise of the study with a photo of a beautiful woman and a somewhat less attractive man.
I guess I can see why Jonah Hill would feel personally attacked by this. Did they have to use his photo to illustrate a point about unattractive men? Of all the people in the world, they chose his photo. Of course, the photo has nothing to do with the article, and I’m sure he has plenty of luck with the ladies, but still… I can why he’d feel personally offended by this.
