An anonymous reader writes "We've discussed (at length) functional MRI technology as it pertains to marketing and virtual reality, but now Esquire writer A.J. Jacobs has become the first person to go inside the controversial machine to test the science behind his sex drive.

    He knows attractiveness better than people with both interference from emotional attachments and good reasons to lie about their opinions.

    And it's insightful because it's true - men are lucky, we can improve how women perceive our appearance by having the proper attitude. Women don't have as much leeway as men do, in my experience.
