Though all the fine woman always laugh their hearts out when I am around, none ever ends up in my bed…What is it that I am doing wrong as a new study has stated that, ‘wittier people were seen as particularly attractive for a short term fling.’
What does it take for a man to get a girl into bed? It’s a question that has puzzled men for generations – but now psychologists have got the answer.
Forget champagne, chocolates and the rest – they key is wit, they say.
According to Psychologist magazine ‘wittier people were seen as particularly attractive for a short term fling.’
Researcher Mary Cowan at the University of Stirling, and Anthony Little filmed 40 psychology students – half men and half women – explaining which two items they’d take to a desert island and why, choosing from chocolate, hairspray or a plastic bag.
Even though they hadn’t been told about humour, 19 of the 40 students tried to be funny in their responses.
These 19 students were then categorised as ‘actors’.
The next 11 students were played audio recordings of the actors’ answers and asked to rate them for funniness, and for the attractiveness.
Each actor was then rated for whether they would be most suitable for a short term relationship, such as dates or one-night stands, or for a long term relationship.
Finally the 11 students were shown photos of the 19 actors.
The magazine revealed that ‘a key result is that attractive actors were judged to be funnier.’
It added ‘men who were considered funnier also tended to be considered more attractive for both short and long term relationships but especially short term.’
A follow-up study found that funniness ratings were ‘very similar to rating for perceived flirtatiousness and that this perceived flirtatiousness explained the link between funniness and appeal for a fling.’
Male wit was found to score more highly for short term flings rather than long term ‘because it nurtures an impression of not being serious or willing to invest in a mate’.
But female wit may be perceived by men as attractive for short term flings because it’s taken as a sign ‘that she will be receptive to his advances.’
The magazine, published by the British Psychological Society, concluded that men use humour to show off their intelligence and good genes to women.
I’m sure this research was done on white student I mean white girls are cold , pale and ugly and are cheap and will bed anything one that moves as for black women on the pother hand are pretty classy and have standards I will not disrespect either black women nor white women, I love them both and God bless them for putting up with us.
But i will say that white women are not as guarded as black women. White women are more liberal and sexually free, they have in my opinion more life options than black women so if the sexual relationship ends or does not work out, they just go on with their lives, rather that be school, business, kids, family, whatever.
Black women are not going to give it up as readily because in many cases that’s all they have is their self and their bodies so they see sex often as a much more gaurded commodity. Like I said it is a fundamental difference in the two cultures and the history that follows them. As far the sexual intimacy of either of them, all I have to say is, man it’s ALLLL GOOOOD! Variety is truly the spice of life
Umm which group of black women are you talking about? Africans yea maybe but African Americans are even less classy than the white gurls if you say white gurls are easy to get. )mo de3 they dont care about nufin. its YOLO for them..All they want is if u have the money most of them will give it to you. It aint only white gurls bro.
