Photofeeler 2022 vs 2025 Results (Unexpected)

[Foreverbrad]

I thought it might be interesting to run an experiment on this.

These are the results of two of my best dating app photos in 2022:

Below are the results for the same two photos in the same order, in 2025.

Voter settings were Foids Under 34.

It’s interesting to observe that while Attractiveness rating has stayed virtually the same, Smart rating has taken a 0.5 to 1.0 point hit and Trustworthy has taken up to a 3.0 point hit.

Possible reasons:
1. Gender war heating up in general
2. Change in Photofeeler user demographics
3. Change in the perceived trustworthiness/smartness of my phenotype

I am quite surprised that Attractiveness maintained at a high level considering how much sexual market inflation has been going on empirically in the last couple of years.

My lost thread!
I did a third test and it showed the same pattern.

I’m now going to run tests on the same photos with votes set to male only instead of female only. In the past, females were harsher raters. Let’s see if that is still the case.
