He found that having the male rater be of high vs. low attractiveness had a moderate-to-large effect (''d'' = 0.72) on whether women would accept the offer to visit his apartment alone or not. This difference was not significant for the explicit sex offer, likely owing to the low sample size.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21369773/</ref>

Further, Baronowski & Hecht (2015) also replicated Hatfield & Clark's findings in Germany across several conditions (campus and party setting.) They found a lower effect for sexual attractiveness on and higher effect for "perceived sexual skills," however, these two constructs were significantly overlapping and theorized to represent sub-factors of a higher-order construct.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25828991/</ref>

Barowski & Hecht also conducted a follow-up experiment to attempt to examine if the common counterargument to the Hatfield and Clark finding of women refusing casual sex more because they have more concern about their physical safety with strangers compared to men was valid. Subjects told they would be taking part in a dating study and then were presented with photos of people who had also seen their picture. They were then told the people in the photos either wanted a date or sex with them. The research team would then actually arrange and film their meeting, leaving them to have the date or a sexual encounter.
