Apparently women thought the more responsive men were, the less attractive they were. Possibly because they gave off a Nice Guy vibe? Or maybe they were too eager to please a. So, putting that aside, let's get back to the guys. What about that whole "men love the chase" thing we're always hearing about?
I assumed that extended beyond just the physical to chasing a not-so-responsive woman's attention as well. And what if that chase isn't something a woman is doing to get a man, but she's just more reserved and it's harder to get a read on how much her responsiveness is tied to how nice she actually is?
My issue with the study results is that they play into this narrative of women who aren't the immediately open type getting the short end of the stick because guys think they just don't care. I've actually seen this dynamic play out between me and my best friend. From these results, Greengross argues that a sense of humor evolved at least partly through sexual selection as an intelligence indicator.
As a result of the interviews, the researchers speculated that the best strategy would be to give a potential date the impression that in general you were hard to get and therefore a scarce resource worth having but really enthusiastic about him or her specifically.
They tested this notion by using some of the same techniques… and found overwhelming evidence to support their hypothesis. What you talk about can matter — a lot. Emotional, personal information exchange promotes powerful feelings of connection. How effective is it? In under an hour it can create a connection stronger than a lifelong friendship. What he found was striking. In other words, the instant connections were more powerful than many long-term, even lifelong relationships.
You can read the most effective things to discuss here. When women are looking for a short-term fling, however, it may be a different story. One study conducted on college students found that women favored men for a short-term fling if they found the men attractive regardless of the content of their pickup lines. Conscientiousness is predictive of a number of very important positive elements in life.
Agreeable, conscientious people make better spouses and parents — but disagreeable, non-conscientious people have more sex partners. The former invest in quality, and it seems like the latter make up the difference in, well, volume.
Looking to settle down? Check if that person has their ducks in a row, is organized and easy to get along with. Nettle and Clegg reported that in a sample of people, men but not women with low levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness tended to have a higher number of sexual partners.
It has also been found cross-culturally, across 10 world regions, that low levels of agreeableness and conscientiousness are related to higher levels of sexual promiscuity and relationship infidelity , so there may be reproductive benefits to those on the low end of these traits.
This can be taken to extremes: having someone try to kill you can actually make you more attracted to them. And men see her as headstrong, loyal and direct. Having a girlfriend with that kind of reputation is a good thing.
A sassy girl is one of a kind. Her personality and being is complex. She handles situations differently, and she treats you with a perfect mix of sauciness and gentleness. These words are for us all.
