[IsraelAngloSingles] Age Perception Test

I recall when I was requested by my university dean to take a course
in social science which he decided should be Psychology, a course I
had previously vowed I would never take, but deans have ways of
persuading students! Anyhow, I took the course and few more psych
courses during the summer semester, and before I realized it, I in the
top 10% of my Junior class and majoring in (yes) Psychology! For the
most part I've freed myself of my major and have reverted to
Mathematics; however, from time to time I find my old major like Mr.
Hyde trying to reassert itself on my consciousness...especially when
subjected to an opulent diatribe of "Martin and his misdeeds"! Seeing
that name, I immediately click the delete box with the youthful
reaction time I once possessed (as Billy the Kid). But what is a
repressed experimental psychologist to do--I'll tell you! He will post
pictures of men--some looking middle aged, others elderly like a
father figure, or at the very least a sugar daddy, and he (the
manipulative experimenter) will require that all of you gripers
respond as to your perceptions of the men's ages: thus, a guy whose
picture will be presented could be 30 years old and look like 50, or
he could be 70 and look like 50--only the experimenter will know for
sure. Your answers will be checked, and each of you will be given a
grade as to your ability to discern men's ages correctly...like the
fellow at the county fair guessing someone's age. If your replies
indicate that your age perception is weak, you will be offered the
opportunity of taking a course to improve your ability of NOT
MISTAKING 70 year old men for 50 year olds! Just because you dye your
hair doesn't mean that the guy in the picture doesn't as well,
especially if his intention is to deceive to win that cupie doll!
