PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS USUALLY LEADS TO POSITIVE THINGS
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE HOT.
BUT THERE IS ONE MASSIVE DOWNSIDE
BASED ON A MASSIVE STUDY THAT
WAS DONE BY VARIOUS UNIVERSITIES WHICH INCLUDE HARVARD,
UNIVERSITY OF LUVERNE, AND SANTA CLARA.
THEY WANTED TO SEE HOW
BEING PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE
IMPACTS RELATIONSHIPS WHETHER IT BE REGULAR LOVE INTERESTS OR
MARRIAGES.
THEY FOUND A HUGE DOWNSIDE TO BEING HOT.
>>THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING.
>>THEY DID ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT STUDIES TO COME UP WITH THESE
CONCLUSIONS.
HERE IS WHAT THEY FOUND.
>> I'M NOT SURE I WOULD'VE BEEN IN THAT CATEGORY SO I FEEL A
LITTLE GOOD ABOUT THOSE
STUDENTS.
AT LEAST MY MARRIAGE IS GOING TO LAST LONGER.
TAKE THAT.
>>THEN THEY LOOKED AT THE IMDB PROFILES OF VARIOUS CELEBRITIES
AND THEY HAD PEOPLE RATE THE ATTRACTIVENESS, AND THEN LOOKED
INTO THEIR RELATIONSHIP HISTORY.
HERE IS WHAT THEY FOUND.
LET'S LOOK AT THE FINAL EXPERIMENT
WHICH I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING.
>> DING, DING, DING, WE HAVE A WINNER.
>> I'M SURPRISED HARVARD DID THE STUDY BUT WHATEVER.
I THINK IT
IS OBVIOUS.
CHEATING RELIES SOLELY ON WHAT YOUR
OPPORTUNITIES ARE.
YOU CAN BE THE STRONGEST PERSON EVER, BUT
THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOW IN
YOUR RELATIONSHIP AT SOME POINT.
IF SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO RUB UP
AGAINST YOU, WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO SAY NO?
YOU SHOULD, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T.
>> IT IS THE OLDEST ADAGE THERE IS.
HOW LIKELY ARE YOU TO CHEAT?
DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE.
AND IT DEPENDS
STRONGLY ON IF YOU ARE A GUY OR GIRL.
WHAT HE THINKS CELEBRITIES
GET DIVORCED A LOT?
BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL THE OPPORTUNITY IN THE
WORLD.
IF YOU ARE RANDOM DUDE IN
WICHITA, DO YOU HAVE HOT GIRLS THROWING AT YOU AT ALL TIMES?
PROBABLY NOT.
I AM A RANDOM DUDE IN THE MIDDLE OF LA.
EVEN NOW
WHEN WE HAVE A HIGHER PROFILE, NOBODY THROWS THEMSELVES AT ME.
THOSE HOT GUYS, AT SOME POINT THEY WILL BREAK.
>> THE INCREDIBLE THING ABOUT DAVID BECKHAM IS THAT HE HAS HAD
A LONG AND SEEMINGLY HAPPY
RELATIONSHIP.
I FEEL LIKE HE IS MORE OF AN ANOMALY WHEREAS A LOT
OF PEOPLE DO EXPERIENCE
TEMPTATION.
THINK IT MOSTLY HAS TO DO WITH OPPORTUNITIES AND
YOUR SATISFACTION IN THE
RELATIONSHIP.
PEOPLE CHEAT FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.
I THINK FOR
WOMEN THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH HOW INVOLVED YOUR PARTNER
IS, WHETHER OR NOT YOU FEEL EMOTIONALLY CONNECTED OR IF HE
IS RESPONSIVE TO YOUR NEEDS.
THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS
THAT MIGHT CONVINCE A WOMAN IS
WORTH CHEATING.
WITH MEN, DOES SHE HAVE TITS.
I'M BEING UNFAIR TO MEN, BUT NOT REALLY.
>>ONE THING THAT LEADS MEANT TO CHEAT MORE ACCORDING TO THE
STUDY IS IF THEIR WIFE IS GIVING THEM ENOUGH VALIDATION.
THAT IS
BOTH UNDERSTANDABLE AND SAD.
THAT IS COMMON WHETHER YOU ARE A
CELEBRITY OR NOT OR ATTRACTIVE
OR NOT.
YOU HAVE TO BE A CELEBRITY OR RICH BY THE WAY.
SPEAKING FROM A PROBABILITY PERSPECTIVE IF YOU ARE MORE
ATTRACTIVE YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET MORE OPPORTUNITIES AND
HENCE LIKELY TO HAVE SHORTER RELATIONSHIPS AND HAVE ONES THAT
ARE MORE LIKELY TO BREAK UP.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU
MENTIONED THERE, DECREASED EFFORT IN RELATIONSHIP
MAINTENANCE.
IF YOU ARE HOT YOU THINK I AM HOT I DON'T HAVE TO
DO ANYTHING HERE.
WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO BREAK UP WITH ME?
IT
TURNS OUT NO, RELATIONSHIP MAINTENANCE IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING.
>> AT LEAST WITH MARRIAGE I KNOW THAT IT TAKES WORK, CONSTANT
WORK TO REMAIN INVOLVED IN EACH OTHER'S LIVES AND TO KEEP THE
FIRE ALIVE.
WE ARE HUMANS AND YOU CAN ONLY COOK A STEAK SO
MANY TIMES OR SO MANY WAYS.
SOMETIMES YOU WANT SOME SHRIMP
OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP CONVINCING YOURSELF THAT YOU WANT STEAK,
THAT IS RELATIONSHIP MAINTENANCE.
>>I'M NOT SURE THAT IS THE ONLY RELATIONSHIP MAINTENANCE OR THE
FOCUS OF THE STORY.
BUT I DO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON A LITTLE BIT
HERE.
>> I WILL STOP MYSELF BEFORE I GET IN TROUBLE.
I LOVE STEAK
GUYS.
LOVE IT.
>> MAYBE THERE IS A SLIGHT COUNTER EFFECT OR MAYBE IF YOUR
PARTNER IS HOT YOU ARE MORE
LIKELY TO STAY WITH THEM.
BUT OVERALL THE JURY IS IN, A SLIGHT
DOWNSIDE TO BEING ATTRACTIVE IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS MORE LIKELY
TO END QUICKER.
>> CAN WE EDIT OUT THE PART WHERE I TALKED ABOUT STEAK AND
LOBSTER?
>>NO.
ONE MORE STORY.
>>A STARTUP IN SILICON VALLEY IS OFFERING TO PAY ITS EMPLOYEES
$10,000 IF THEY DE-LOCATE,
MEANING IF THEY MOVE OUT OF SILICON VALLEY.
THIS IS GREAT
NEWS BECAUSE THE COMPANY DOES ALLOW ITS EMPLOYEES TO WORK
REMOTELY.
SINCE THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LIVE THERE THEY WANT
TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LIVE
WHEREVER THEY WANT AND THEY GET A $10,000 BONUS AS A RESULT.
I
THINK THIS IS SOMETHING A LOT OF AMERICANS ARE EXPERIENCING.
FINANCIAL ADVISORS TELL YOU YOU SHOULDN'T SPEND MORE THAN
30% OF YOUR INCOME ON YOUR LIVING.
BUT PEOPLE PAY MORE,
THAT IS CERTAINLY THE CASE IN HIGH-PRICED AREAS LIKE SILICON
VALLEY, LOS ANGELES, OR NEW
YORK.
I LOVE THIS BECAUSE IT ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO MOVE AWAY
AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL HELP LOWER THE COST OF THE HOUSING MARKET
THERE IF MORE COMPANIES FOLLOW SUIT AND DO SOMETHING SIMILAR?
>> IT IS A WEIRD HIT THIS GUY IS TAKING ON TO GET PEOPLE TO MOVE
AWAY FROM HIM.
A LOT OF
COMPANIES ñ THIS COMPANY ONLY HAS 85 PEOPLE.
IF THEY ARE ALL
WORKING FROM HOME, WHAT DOES HE CARE IF THEY LIVED NEAR HIM OR 1
MILLION MILES FROM HIM?
1 MILLION MILES DOESN'T HELP THEM ANY MORE THAN IT HURTS HIM.
>> I THINK THIS MIGHT BE AN EFFORT TO ATTRACT MORE TALENTED
ENGINEERS AND EMPLOYEES.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DETERRED
FROM WORKING SILICON VALLEY JOBS IF THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN THE BAY.
IT IS EXPENSIVE AND WHY WOULD
YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH MAKING A DECENT LIVING AND NOT BEING ABLE
TO ENJOY IT.
>> THAT MAKES SENSE, AND IT WORKED FOR HIM. 50 PEOPLE SAID
CAN I PLEASE MOVE AWAY FROM YOU
AS SOON AS THEY STARTED THIS.
IF HE IS LOOKING TO RECRUIT BETTER,
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
REALLY NICE PR MOVE AND WORTH THE EXTRA
$10,000.
RANDOM PART THAT MADE ME BITTER AND JEALOUS, THE CEO IS 30
YEARS OLD.
>>I KNOW.
THAT IS THE CASE WITH MOST SUCCESSFUL CEOS IN SILICON
VALLEY.
THEY ARE SUPER YOUNG,
YOUNGER THAN US, AND THEY ARE MILLIONAIRES.
YEAH, IT SUCKS.
THAT IS LIFE.
>>THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU.
GOD BLESS.
WELL PLAYED ON THIS
EFFORT AND IT HELPS PEOPLE IN
SAN FRANCISCO.
IT IS REALLY MENTAL THAT IF YOU MAKE $700,000
AND YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE RENT.
WE HAVE GONE BEYOND THE MIDDLE
CLASS GETTING CRUNCHED.
IN PLACES LIKE SAN FRANCISCO
EVERYONE IS GETTING CRUNCHED.
>>I KNOW.
IT IS GETTING WORSE IN LOS ANGELES AS WELL.
THINK ABOUT IT.
>>THINK ABOUT IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM THINKING ABOUT.
>> I MEAN I CAN'T WORK REMOTELY.
I CAN SKYPE IN AND DO THE SHOW.
>>NO.
I ACTUALLY WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE PREVIOUS
STORY.
RELATED TO THIS STORY I WILL TELL YOU IN THE POST GAME
ABOUT THIS CRAZY THING OUR HIGH SCHOOL DID FOR THE REALLY
ATTRACTIVE GIRLS AND GUYS IN THE
CLASS.
WE DID A SLAVE AUCTION.
OH MY GOD.
THIS WAS BACK IN 1988
IN NEW JERSEY, WHEN IN THE WORLD WAS THAT SLAVE AUCTION AND WHY
DID WE DO IT AND WHAT WERE THE
RAMIFICATIONS AND DID WE THINK IT WAS A BIG DEAL OR NOT?
I WILL
TELL YOU THAT IN THE POST GAME FOR THE MEMBERS AT
TYTNETWORK.COM/JOIN.
BECOME A MEMBER, GET THE WHOLE SHOW, GET
THE POST GAMES AND FIND OUT THAT
STORY AS WELL.
