being nice is sexy



Naughty or Nice?

From Yahoo.com/Business Insider

"In a study published this year, researchers looked exclusively at heterosexual women's preferences for attractiveness and altruism in men.

About 200 women were asked to look at photographs of men's faces. Half those faces had been determined to be extremely physically attractive; the other half had been determined to be extremely physically unattractive.

The women saw two pairs of faces at a time, one attractive and one unattractive.

Each pair of faces was displayed alongside a description of a scenario and how each man behaved. For example: "two people are walking through a busy town and see a homeless person sitting near a cafe." One man goes into the cafe and buys a sandwich and tea for the homeless person; the other man pretends to use his cellphone and walks straight past the homeless person.

All the women were asked to rate each man on how attractive he was for a short- or long-term relationship.

The researchers walked away with several key findings.

First, as previous research had found, altruistic men were more attractive than non-altruistic men.

Second, altruistic men were more attractive for long-term than short-term relationships. When it came to short-term relationships, non-altruistic men were in fact more desirable than altruistic men."



OK, men, this makes it real simple. If you want to have a long term relationship be a nice caring guy. If you want to get laid be a nasty naughty self-centered uncaring asshole.
