You need some actual poll here, but yes, the pride image seems obviously more attractive. It is possible that the other confounders played a role, but I at least think that I find pride attractive generally.

Come to think of it if I rate the pictures based on how happy they seem to me at first glance the ‘pride’ picture still wins out over ‘happiness’. That quite possibly speaks primarily to how happy I feel when in the respective poses.
Pride it is. What we need now is an experimental design to discern whether LWers prefer pride because we’re contrarian; because wannabe-rationalists are less threatened by strong, confident women; because we’re unusually attracted to prominent breasts; or some other reason.
I was thinking that giving volunteer instructions on the poses they are to make and letting them take their own pictures with a foot-pedal to operate the shutter might work. Does anyone see a problem with that solution?

OK.

Purely out of scientific curiosity, I’m sure.
