Responsiveness may signal to a potential partner that one is concerned with her or his welfare, and may therefore increase sexual interest in this person. Research shows, however, that this proposition holds true for men, but not for women. In three studies, one observational and two experimental, we explored a potential mechanism that explains why men and women diverge in their sexual reactions to a responsive opposite-sex stranger. Studies 1 and 2 showed that men, but not women, perceived a responsive stranger as more gender typical (masculine/feminine) and, in turn, as more attractive. Study 3 revealed that responsiveness increased men’s perception of partner’s femininity. This, in turn, was associated with higher sexual arousal, which was, in turn, linked to greater partner attractiveness and greater desire for a long-term relationship. These findings suggest that whether responsiveness affects perceptions of partner attractiveness varies in individuals, depending on the contextually based meaning of responsiveness.

That's weird because when I think of a nice guy it's not exactly a positive but when I think of a nice girl I subconsciously think of like librarians and other friendly women in my life

I wonder how that differs from person to person

It's because good looking and high status men have women throwing themselves at them, so they have no need to be nice, it's only the undesirable men that are forced to be nice to women.

I will be kind and masculine, and if women do not like it, they aren't the type I'd want to be with.

Women prefer a nice attractive man vs a man that is not nice but is unattractive, altough, usually the ones higher in the looks scale are more mean and those lower are nicer, however, beetwen nice attractive men and Bad boy attractive men, it's the Bad boy the one more likely to be picked.

Why do you feel comfortable conflating responsiveness and niceness?

"Nice guys" are almost never actually nice.

Brilliant_Theme_618 · 2025-03-02T05:12:44+00:00

from a guy, probably because most "nice" guys are actually entitled, by expecting for their date to be equally as subservient, followed by a short tempered attitude when someone doesn't act the way they want them to.
