Study Finds That Men Like Nice Women, But Not the Other Way Around
Newsweak ^ | 25JUL2014 | Paula Mejia

Scientifically, nice (heterosexual) guys might actually finish last. A study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin recently found that while men were attracted to nice-seeming women upon meeting them, women did not feel the same way about men. Researchers from the University of Rochester, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya in Israel investigated a possible mechanism explaining why women and men differ in their sexual reactions with receptive opposite-sex strangers.

Apparently a lot of women need better taste

Especially since they initiate 66% to 90% of all divorces in the US.

FWIW

I flinch, I shy, when the lass with the delicate air goes by

I smile, I grin, when the gal with a touch of sin walks in.

I hope, and I pray, for a Hester to win just one more “A”

The sadder-but-wiser girl’s the girl for me.

I think there is a strong inclination to find a man who is tough enough to protect you, make you feel safe, or provide for you. I have read that professionally successful women still seek men who out-earn them and have higher status.

Biology doesn’t change.

“Especially since they initiate 66% to 90% of all divorces in the US.”

I doubt that the number is that high. A lot of divorces are the result of men manipulating women into seeking out another man and thereby the men preserve their assets. Smart women are rare, smart mouthed women are common. It aint the same thing.

Smart mouthed women are common, LOL.

I think you are on to something there!

I wonder if they will do a study of the attractiveness of the smart mouthed females.

Those are the statistics I see from a wide variety of sources.

The women still get the house, money, and kids; what are you talking about?

If you have any doubt as to who seeks out divorces more, look at who is seeking marriage more - now ask yourself why.

Most modern American women are bitching, spiteful, manipulative wastes of time and oxygen. They are turning many men into misogynists.

A study? I could have told them that for free! But I'm certain it was taxpayer funded!

I do think this attraction to bad boys has something to do with biology. Perhaps bad boys have more testosterone or better sperm counts, who knows? Interestingly, I think that as women age and lose their ability to have children, they start looking at the nice guys.

For men who are complaining here about nasty women, don’t forget that men - no matter how bad-looking or socially inept - will always seek out gorgeous women to date and marry. I mean, what’s up with that?

This.

Men should have to prove themselves worthy to women, as men are the ones who are going to be the breadwinners and the front-line defenders of the household (and, more often than not, the voice of reason). Work on improving yourself BEFORE you go looking for a wife.

Feminism is killing America, but so are losers whose only positive claim is that they are “nice”. Guarantee that your wife will never have to work again, and you’ll attract the intelligent, conservative women. (If you want to attract liberal, low IQ women, go inject yourself with botox, blow all your money on fashion accessories and Andrea Dworkin books, become metrosexual, and chainsaw your schlong off.)

I'm assuming you're one of those guys who is into mail order brides. There used to be a lot more bitter posts like this on FR. It's been a long time since we've had these kinds of screeds. Personally, I find them amusing. Pretty soon we'll have the guys who like Russian dames, Koreans and those supposedly doormat Filipino chicks checking in. Time to watch the hilarious Charles Grodin "Lonely Guy" movie.

“Most modern American women are bitching, spiteful, manipulative wastes of time and oxygen. They are turning many men into misogynists.”

Whatever they may be, the general consensus among American men is that the women aren’t marriage material. They get to watch their biological clocks run out while other women do the marrying/breeding (and they’re not thrilled with that).

I am so glad I am old enough to be past such delusionary quests.

Personally, I wanted to find a husband that was “tough” like my brother (Marine, hunter, gun expert) but that didn't have his attitude, was sweeter and a bit of a romantic, even if it needed to be hidden from others to boost his own ego!

After dating quite a few girly men and borderline serial killers (ha ha), I found the perfect mix at 26. Moral of my story: Don't settle, stick to your values, and don't think you can “change someone”. Also don't think everything will be smooth going, but work through it.
