Ugly reading habits
Belatedly noticed this post on Trashionista about a survey which reveals how what people are reading influences how attractive they are perceived to be.
Just don't read his book on the train
Unsurprisingly, 44pc of men said they would find a woman reading The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic 'a real turn-off', while a third of women said they would be physically repulsed by a man perusing The World According to Clarkson in public.Â And a reassuringÂ two thirdsÂ of British peopleÂ perceive readers of celebrity autobiographies to be physically unattractive – ironic given that they'll be reading a lot about beauty tips, and not much else.
I wonder which would be the least attractive, in the eyes of the British public: a man reading a) Clarkson, b) The Little Book of Calm or c) Mein Kampf?
