Dove Experiment, Parodied: How Men See Themselves

Stan Schroeder2013-04-18 19:48:58 UTC

We learned from the recent Ogilvy ad campaign for Dove that, when it comes to physical features, women tend to give themselves less credit than they deserve.

But what about men? How would an average guy describe himself? Try ...

"My mom said I have the most beautiful teeth."
"I have a balanced face, almost like a white Denzel Washington."

Of course, when girls describe these same guys, the results are ... a little bit different.

Just how different? Well, you can learn that from New Feelings Time's brilliant parody of the Dove campaign.

We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say the girls are even harsher judges when it comes to describing guys' looks than their own.
