I bring this "survey" on a phrase that more than one would have said at least once in your life, and some people here no one has a girlfriend. Anyway, back to the main topic, I leave some data that have something to do with this famous phrase.
"Women like men who have a partner"
More than once probably heard some man say that they look much more when they are with a woman when they are alone. Well, even something completely unusual, this is true and was verified by the science.
"A woman who is alone really likes most men who have a partner," said Melissa burkely of the University of Oklahoma who conducted the study with colleague Jessica Parker.
They asked 184 students to participate in a study on sexual attraction, in which a computer would seek them an ideal companion. However, researchers tended a trap, because all women showed them the photo of the same individual, and all men photo of the same woman.
To draw conclusions what they did was to ask respondents whether they wanted to or not have sex with the person they were seeing. Some were explained to them that that person was married and others were told no.
The men did not change their way of thinking when making the decision,but women. When told he was single, 59% of them said yes have relationships, but when told he was married, the number reached 90%.
Behind this the researchers found a pure sexual selection mechanism. If the candidate is married or have a partner and this translates into female sexual appetite as a male already proven that showed reproductive success, and therefore a good lover. However, when the male is single, she not yet demonstrated its guarantee reproduction.
Now that we talked some data on the subject, in your personal experience What is your opinion about the issue? Is it really true classic phrase "When you do not have a girlfriend the other girls ignore you" or just a myth?
