→Men are attracted to "nice" women, but women are not attracted to "nice" men

The Internet is full of women claiming the reason they "don't give [[nice guy]]s a chance" is that those "[[nice guy]]s" are not actually truly "nice". The more scientifically valid explanation for this behavior based on these findings is that a man's niceness does not appear to be sexually valued by women at all or is perhaps even negatively valued. | The Internet is full of women claiming the reason they "don't give [[nice guy]]s a chance" is that those "[[nice guy]]s" are not actually truly "nice".

An interesting addition is that nice men have substantially lower economic success. In Judge et al. (2012), men who are one standard deviation nicer, had ''an 18.3% lower income''. For women it's 5.47% lower, but they are more agreeable and tend to occupy positions of lower status to begin with. | |||
It pays off being disagreeable, in life as a whole, and doubly so with women because women also prefer men with high income. | |||
