In this survey study, a woman was more capable of identifying a cheating male by face alone, yet men were not able to do the same in women. Men often guessed the most beautiful woman would be the cheater and not the "ugly" one.
We saw this in 50 shades where Ana chose Christian Grey over Jose, the "nice guy."
So why do most women still overlook the "good guy"? Are good guys too good to be true?
Because most if not all women will find at same men to be attractive and men are aware of this so given they know they have plenty of options they are less likely to be loyal to the women.
That's true, but if women are better at identifying cheaters, why do they still end up with the wrong guy? Versus men who are more likely to select a better partner
That's what I'm asking, too. But I do agree we as women have the intuition and know because I've seen women do it many of times yet continue to stick with the bad guy. Women hate rejection they're not used to it like men are. So many women THINK they can change a man's mind
Exactly. End of the day people want to feel safe, secure, desired and cared for. When girls find a nice guy they can’t connect with him because he’s insecure and faking that “nice “ image, too afraid to be real. So they can’t tell how he will act in more stressful situations. At least with a bad guy they can see his ability to step up and take action
Bad guy would be like Christian Grey and "good guy" would be like Jose. If you've seen fifty shades of grey you'll get it. Otherwise it's hard to explain. Bad boy doesn't always have to be a bad thing too it can be your steve jobs, Jeff bezzos and even Donald trump because these are men who challenge society, outspoken, well respected and authorities yet the abundance of women for them is plenty. So cheating is likely yet they may not do it. Jeff did leave his wife of years for Sanchez
That’s why I wanted to ask, as words matter and better understanding what the term bad guy means to you helps. Because if you asked me what a bad guy is I would tell you it’s a criminal who may be a child abuser or a rapist, a guy who hurts others and does bad things like is addicted to drugs or breaks laws and drives at 120 mph on his motorcycle drunk only to kill someone. He’s a dangerous man who loves no one and only wants to hurt everyone else for his own selfish gains.
The ambitious men you mention such as jobs and Trump and grey I’d see as leaders and risk takers but who are motivated to build things and improve their community rather than destroy it. They may break rules but they see them as opportunities to win in a competitive business space and third men are intelligent and usually have good people skills so they have support.
I don’t know Jose but if you use him as the good guy example my guess is he plays by all the rules and isn’t as ambitious, he’s shy or insecure in new situations and he hasn’t built much in his life. He’s not a leader and others don’t feel drawn to follow him
