This may not come as much of a surprise, but a recent survey by 'albamon,' a job board for young adults, revealed that women and men scan each other differently upon meeting for the first time. 


'albamon' surveyed a total of 786 college students and discovered that men tend to look at women's faces, whereas women rely more on first impressions and what they feel--or the 'vibe.'

When both genders were asked what you're focused most on when meeting the opposite sex, 31.3% of those surveyed chose 'first impression and feeling,' with 26% of the guys selecting 'face' (or physical features) while 36.6% of women selected 'first impression.' Further, 26.8% of men answered 'socioeconomic status' and 39.7% of women answered 'face' for the characteristic that they believe the opposite sex focuses on the most. 


Meanwhile, 95.5% of the students surveyed believed their looks can lend an upper hand in society. 58.7% of male students and 64.8% of female students answered that they felt like their looks put them at a disadvantage. 


In Korea's highly competitive society, it comes as no surprise that people feel the pressure to not only look good but also look better than the next person.
