In the novel Blink by Malcom Gladwell I read the chapter titled The Warren Harding error:Why we all fall for tall,dark, handsom men. Throught this chapter what is talked about is how "blink" decisions meaning fast and having no time to think about can sometimes be the best decisions. In the chapter they had you play what I would call a game. It starts out by having to catagorize male or female for a certain name then it goes to job duties and work. The decisions have to be made in the blink of an eye.
I have any easy time connecing to this chapter and im sure I would the whole book if I had read every chapter. In the chapter i selected i can really relate to very much. I know for myself and many others judging looks is somthing we try not to do but no matter what your mind is going to do it wither you like it or not. When it comes to men, with only seeing someone for a breif second it's easy to prejudge everything about them such as their social class, work, relationship status and many other things. Although, some decisions can be made about men in a second some need more time.
In the T.V show Friends their is a character named Rachel Green. Rachel works at Ralph Lauren and she had been reccently promoted. With her new promotion she had to self select a assist for her many new duties.When the time came around to interivew Rachel had met many qualified contestants but one stuck out to Rachel. His name was Gaven he was tall dark and handsom but he had no qualifications. Rachel within a blink of an eye told Gaven he was hired because in that momment in time it seemd like the best option.
