Men Think They're Hot -- And It Works

Fri Dec 16, 2011 7:09 pm » by **Freeyourmindnow**

men tended to think that women were a full point more interested in them than women actually were, the researchers report in paper to be published in Psychological Science. Women, on the other hand, guessed that men were a full point less interested than they actually were.

Some men were more off in their misperceptions than others, and the study turned up some clues that could explain why. Compared to men who said they generally valued long-term relationships, for example, men who said they were on the prowl for casual sex were more likely to assume that women wanted them much more than was true.

There was also a relatively big gap between perception and reality in men who women ranked low on a scale of attractiveness. Hotter guys, on the other hand, had a more realistic sense of how women saw them -- possibly because they didn't need to be overconfident to score a hook-up.

Men were most likely to misread signals from the most attractive women, and for those women, they illustrated the biggest difference between perception and reality. One possible explanation is that the prettiest women usually get the most attention from men, allowing them to be choosier, said Peter Todd, a cognitive psychologist at Indiana University in Bloomington.

"The research in this area is important because it provides insight into some of the sources of potentially harmful misunderstandings regarding sexual intent between men and women," Todd said. "This paper in particular gives more support for the idea that men over-perceive the sexual interest of women, and it indicates which men paired with which women are most likely to show this over-perception."

Many women like the attention they get from men, even if they don't feel the same way in return. But others get tired of having to constantly fend off men who think a benign interaction carries sexual overtones.

And for those women, Perilloux said, the new research suggests that it might be worth toning down flirtatious tendencies in certain situations, including simple gestures like smiling, making eye contact and touching men on the arm.

To avoid unexpected rejections, overconfident men could work on exercising caution and waiting for more direct signs from women before making a move.

I'm naturally good looking.
Women have to put on all this fake shit just to make themselves look good.
There are some naturally good looking women though. Don't get me wrong.

Good Looking Guys

The following rant was posted on Craig's list in January of 2005 and is quite an analysis of the current social scene.

Dear Good-looking guys,

Thanks for ruining things for us average-looking guys. You, like all men, will tag pretty much anything female. So you go out to bars and other social venues and you go for the low-hanging fruit. You go for the average-looking girl. Why? Because they are easy and don't give you half the shit that hot women give.

So what's the big deal? The big deal is that average girls don't know their place anymore. They suddenly think that they are hot just because they have been banged by a hot guy. They are wrong, and they do not know it. We average guys, however, do know it. We know that the average girl -- in the long term -- is out of your league. We know that she is in our league, the league of the average. But she does not know that.

So the average girl goes on thinking she is hot and holding out for a hot guy to spend the rest of her life with. Yes, it's great for the ego of the average girl. She bangs a hot guy every now and then, and she really thinks she is the shit. No one told her, though, that any guy (hot or not) will bang any average girl. Sadly, the average women develop this "I'll never settle" mentality. Average guys are suddenly not an option for them, leaving us average guys out in the cold. The genuine hot girls, of course, are not an option for us, so that leaves us with the fat chicks. Thanks. Thanks a lot, hot guy. Meanwhile, the really hot chicks are sitting around dissing us and waiting for you to come talk to them. (And we can only imagine the torture that the fat guys are going through as we average guys are forced to mack on their women.)

So do the social scene a favor -- stick with your own kind. Leave the average girls to us, and stop creating delusions of grandeur in their minds. The average chick is our niche. We work hard enough as it is for the average girl. Now you go work hard to bag the hot chick. Don't be afraid of a little work.
