The author of this article points out the duality/ of what women say they want vs. what they actually go for -

"Specifically, Durante et al. (2014) found that young ovulating women viewed “charismatic and physically attractive men, but not reliable and nice men, as more committed partners and more devoted future fathers.” The problem with preferring caddish male types is they also tend to be higher in psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism—the so-called Dark Triad traits. It has been suggested that highly fertile women prefer these men because their masculine features and dominant personalities are indicators of good genes. Indeed, another study in Germany found that women preferred aggressive, socially dominant men for short-term dalliances—particularly during ovulation. Similarly, Qureshi et al. (2016) observed that young college-age women reported more attraction to fictitious males with dark triads compared to older, less fertile women."

"According to one study that assessed 720 couples, the chances of a woman being taller than her partner was low (0.14 percent). Consequently, it is not enough to simply be a nice, attentive, and articulate guy; attractive women desire much more than that"

What this shows is a disconnect between what women want and actually go for. It reaffirms some RedPill truths that many don't want to accept about women's dating behaviors. I'd tell men to be careful when listening to women's advice on what they want...data and overwhelming experience shows its not true

Edit #1: Its more than just when a woman is ovulating. Women are saying they want men with emotional traits, but they are NOT selecting for that, it's looks. "I agree with Matos that dating apps encourage female choosiness, but I am doubtful that most women on these apps are selecting men based on their capacity for emotional sensitivity. The majority of men on dating apps are being rejected before they get an opportunity to show their emotional side. Moreover, research suggests that attempts to encourage single men to become more agreeable will fail."
