→Women are prone to instability when they are more attractive than their male partner
| Line 496: | Line 496: | ||
---- | ---- | ||
Women reported a tendency towards dating men who they perceived as more attractive than them. When their partners were less attractive than them, they reported less commitment, more flirting with other men, more appealing dating alternatives, and more frequent thoughts about breaking up. | |||
Thus it seems apparent that satisfaction is only possible for a woman when a man "dates down." "Dating up" on the other hand for a man will create a situation of instability that will make the woman unhappy and initiate destabilizing behaviors. | |||
