If a young woman thinks she looks hot in that chesty selfie she just set as her Facebook profile picture, chances are another woman thinks she looks incompetent. Well, maybe not entirely incompetent, but certainly less capable than if she were wearing a buttoned up button down, a cardigan and classic Levi’s. According to a new study published on Tuesday, girls and young adult females who post revealing photos of themselves on social media are received by their peers as being less attractive — physically and socially — as well as less competent, in general.
