===<span style="font-family:'Linux Libertine, Georgia, Times, serif'; font-size:24px; font-weight: normal;">Women desiring marriage and commitment are more attracted to narcissistic men</span>=== | |||
---- | |||
Haslam & Montrose (2015) conducted a survey of 146 British females asking them to rate their agreement with a series of statements intended to measure their attraction to narcissism in a potential male partner. The questions were based on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) a psychological test designed to measure the level of "sub-clinical narcissism" in an individual. | |||
The researchers found: | |||
* Women wishing to get married were more attracted to the narcissistic male personality (mean rank = 77.82) than those not desiring marriage(mean rank = 59.81). | |||
* Women with a higher number of sexual partners were significantly more attracted to the narcissistic male personality. | |||
* All of this is despite it being previously demonstrated that narcissistic mates are more likely to be unfaithful and narcissism is associated with a lack of relational commitment. | |||
Thus it seems apparent that there exists a preference among women for men who are actually less likely to commit (both in SMV and personality), especially from women who seek commitment more. | |||
