The ugly truth about one night stands
Only the best looking men tempt women into
casual sex
Men are far more interested in casual sex than women. While men
need to be exceptionally at-tractive to tempt women to consider casual
sex, men are far less choosy |

These findings
by Dr Achim Schützwohl, from the Department of Psychology at Brunel
University in the UK, and his team are published online in Springer’s
journal Human Nature.
The research shows that men are more likely than women to report having
had casual sex and they express a greater desire for it than do women.
It is also thought that women but not men raise their standards of
attractiveness for a casual sex partner.
Dr Schützwohl and his colleagues looked at the influence of an imagined
requestor’s physical attractiveness on men’s and women’s willingness to
accept three distinct offers: go out, go to their apartment and go to
bed with them. A total of 427 male and 433 female students from the US,
Germany and Italy answered a questionnaire. They were asked to imagine
being approached by a member of the opposite sex, described as either
“slightly unattractive”, “moderately attractive” or “exceptionally
attractive”. They then rated how likely they would be to accept each of
the three offers.
The authors found that the requestor’s looks affected men and women
differently. Across all three levels of requestor attractiveness, men
were more likely to go out, go to their apartment and go to bed with
them than were women. German men were less likely to go out with the
requestor and go to their apartment than American and Italian men.
Italian men were more likely to go to bed with the requestor than were
American men. German men were even less likely than American men to go
to bed with the requestor. These differences highlight cultural
differences in sexual morals and preferences.
For each of the three offers, men were more likely to accept when the
hypothetical woman was moderately or exceptionally attractive than when
she was slightly unattractive, but whether she was moderately or
exceptionally attractive made no difference. Women however placed more
importance on the requestor’s good looks. They were more likely to
accept the apartment and bed requests from an exceptionally attractive
man than from either a moderately attractive or slightly unattractive
man.
The authors conclude: “While men are not entirely insensitive to their
requestor’s attractiveness, women have higher standards and are more
likely to engage in casual sex with an exceptionally attractive man than
with a less attractive man.”
