I accidentally turned my crush on Erling Haaland into a psychology project. Here are the results.
It started as a joke.
I wanted to know what it was about Erling Haaland that made me feel like this.
Then I remembered…I have a psychology degree.
So I made a survey.
85 women from different countries answered and it turned out I wasn’t completely alone.
Some of the responses were funny. Some were surprisingly thoughtful. All of them made me realise this wasn’t just about football.
🇳🇴 75% had watched Norway play because of him.
❤️ 59% rated him 8-10/10 for attractiveness.
✈️ 45% had considered visiting Norway.
💬 52% said he’d influenced what they find attractive in real-life partners.
So, welcome to…
The Haaland Effect.
