— Being too rich and good-looking can actually hurt a man. Then again, marriage may be a bad deal for handsome guys.
Women appear to exhibit a subtle reluctance to engage in long-term relationships with physically attractive, high-status men. They propose that this bias away from men of very high market value is based on fear that these males may desert a relationship and also on the comparative self-perceived market value of the women.
— You can predict how many women a man has slept with by how funny he is.
Structural equation models showed that general and verbal intelligence both predict humor production ability, which in turn predicts mating success, such as lifetime number of sexual partners. Also, males showed higher average humor production ability. These results suggest that the human sense of humor evolved at least partly through sexual selection as an intelligence-indicator.
— Yes, most TV commercials make men look like morons.
A sample of 477 commercials featuring domestic chores that aired in a week of primetime television programming on all of the broadcast networks was analyzed. Among the key findings: Male characters’ performance of chores was often humorously inept as measured by negative responses from others, lack of success, and unsatisfactory outcomes.
— Companies pay women more if a male CEO has a daughter.
when a daughter was born to a male CEO, wages paid to the CEO’s female employees rose relative to the wages paid to male employees. The effect was stronger for the first daughter, and stronger still if the first daughter was also the first child. The birth of a daughter to a male CEO particularly benefitted women who were more educated or who worked for smaller firms.
— Poor and hungry men prefer heavier women. Rich and full guys like skinny girls.
The men with a sense of life’s scarcity wanted their women to carry some extra pounds, almost as if their partner’s fat could protect them against starvation. Those feeling flush wanted skinnier women.
— Attractive TV anchors make men unable to remember the news.
The most compelling visual cues of female sexual attractiveness (low waist-to-hip ratio). Male sees the sexualized version of an anchor as less suited for war and political reporting.
— What’s the chance that a man’s kids are not really his, biologically?
The bottom line is as follows: If you commission a DNA paternity test, you have roughly a one-third chance of the child not being yours. On the other hand, if you are confident that your wife has not had any extramarital dalliances then the probability of your having been cuckolded is very low (but still far from negligible).
— Punching things does make men feel better.
A public display of aggressive readiness reduced men’s anxiety-related cognitions in the wake of a gender threat.
— If men’s jobs didn’t affect their ability to attract women they’d be far less ambitious.
What if a guy’s job had no effect on his value in the marriage market? How would that affect a young man’s career choices? He’d be a heck of a lot less ambitious.
if there were no returns to career choices in the marriage market, men would tend to work less, study less, and choose blue‐collar jobs over white‐collar jobs.
— Men fake orgasms too.
Research shows that many women pretend or “fake” orgasm, but little is known about whether men pretend orgasm.
According to latest Report:
Both men (25%) and women (50%) reported pretending orgasm (28% and 67%, respectively, for PVI-experienced participants). Most pretended during PVI, but some pretended during oral sex, manual stimulation, and phone sex. Frequently reported reasons were that orgasm was unlikely, they wanted sex to end, and they wanted to avoid negative consequences (e.g., hurting their partner’s feelings) and to obtain positive consequences (e.g., pleasing their partner). Results suggest a sexual script in which women should orgasm before men, and men are responsible for women’s orgasms.
