Researchers claimed that waitresses who wear red get up to 26 percent extra in tips than they would wearing other colors. However, the team finds that the sexes tip very differently—with the bigger tips coming only from male customers.

No matter what color they wear, female diners will give the same kind of amounts for service every time. Yet men, whether they realize it or not, add anything between 15 and 26 percent more to a waitress in red than they would if it was the same waitress wearing a different color.

The test was simple. Take 11 waitresses in five restaurants over a six-week period and ask them to wear the same kind of T-shirt every day but change the colors. Previous research has suggested waitresses could earn more if they acted charmingly or wore more make-up than their colleagues. But this study, by the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research, only changed the color of the T-shirt. Every other aspect from make-up to behavior remained the same.

When wearing either black, white, green, blue or yellow T-shirts, the size of the tips from both male and female customers was almost identical. But when they wore red, the size of the tips went up by between 15 and 26 percent from male customers, yet stayed the same from female ones. 

A total of 272 restaurant customers were studied by researchers Nicolas Gueguen and Celine Jacob for the international journal of the tourism industry.

Even as a T-shirt, it shows just how much the color red is thought, by men, to increase the physical and sexual attractiveness of woman, said the researchers.

The researchers wrote: As red color has no negative effect on women customers, it could be in their interest to wear clothes at work.

以下是在一场关于“安乐死是否应合法化”的辩论中正反方辩手的发言:正方:反方辩友反对“安乐死合法化”的根据主要是在什么条件下方可实施安乐死的标准不易掌握,这可能会给医疗事故甚至谋杀造成机会,使一些本来可以挽救的生命失去最后的机会。诚然,这样的风险是存在的。但是我们怎么能设想干任何事都排除所有风险呢。让我提一个问题,我们为什么不把法定的汽车时速限制为不超过自行车,这样汽车交通死亡事故发生率不是几乎可以下降到零吗反方:对方辩友把安乐死和交通死亡事故做以上的类比是毫无意义的。因为不可能有人会做这样的交通立法。设想一下,如果汽车行驶得和自行车一样慢,那还要汽车干什么对方辩友,你愿意我们的社会再回到没有汽车的时代
