Males Prefer Females Who Are "Hard to Get"

[HelloHockeyFans]

A Montreal male recently had the option of sleeping with a member of the opposite sex whenever he wanted.

But he also had another female in his life, one who only occasionally fulfilled his sexual desires.

Left in a room with both sexual partners, he found himself instantly drawn to the one who had been playing hard to get.

And from the same story:

The science of love

Your buddies tell you

You need a rebound.

Science tells you

It might just help. According to Louanne Brizendine, author of The Female Brain, the only surefire way out of the "brain pain" of relationship loss is to trigger a dopamine and oxytocin high - through sex.

Cosmo tells you

Girls dig the bad boy.

Science tells you

There is a reason women are drawn to emotionally unavailable men. Dr. Brizendine says females are wired to interpret an emotionless face as a signal they're doing something wrong, and to work harder to get a response.

I don't think that has anything to do with the woman being "hard to get" but everything to do with the man wanting more variety.

Think of it this way: every night for dinner you eat chicken and potatoes with apple pie for dessert. There's nothing wrong with that; you certainly like chicken and pie. However, one night you're presented with the option of having roast beef and cake instead of chicken and pie. Which one do you choose?

Not this guy.

Hahaha...

Is the "bad boy" a guy that's emotionally unavailable? I don't think that's what a bad boy is.

We need to revoke this persons member ship to the mens club. He's so deep in the closet that he's finding his grandmothers shoes.

If 'hard to get' = 'attractive and desired by many other men' then yes, I think you're on to something

I've always been instantly attracted to females who appear to have no interest in me whatsoever. The ones that play hard to get are the best kind... I dunno what it is, but it's motivation. It's not necessarily to get them in the sack, but more to establish an emotional connection with someone who refuses to establish one themselves.

Hence, why I'm not in a relationship.

[HalifaxDrunk]

I don't understand the study. I've never run a cross a woman who wasn't intertested in me......

Me ->
Every female I've ever met ->

Wouldn't you???

[mykalberta]

Why the hell wasnt I ask to participate in this study. I would have relocated to Montreal for this

No kidding. I'll gladly give my body to science for this....

Speaking as someone who is not God's gift to women like HalifaxDrunk :

A girl who is too easy/eager is likely to be that way with other guys. Getting into a relatioship with a girl like that doesn't make you feel like you accomplished anything. Recreationally speaking, however, you probably don't want to wait for the fifth date to get that casual intimate contact you need.

Part of it is the thrill of the hunt. Now that I'm married. I don't necisarily want to sleep with other woman. But I miss looking for girls and the challenge of picking them up. I guess it is an ego thing.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

I like to hide behind the bushes and run out yelling words when the object of my affection approaches. Been pretty successful so far.

Its naturally wired into the human brain, it is how we asses value for almost everything…

and it’s the same with women too

Easy to get=not valuable=unattractive…calling a women 100 times days,always being able to get a hold of, always willing to hangout and blowing off other people for her are all very unattractive things to women…

[Oil Stain]

I think it would also be pretty hard to trust a girl who has a reputation for jumping in bed with any guy who asks her.

The chances of a girl like that being a cheaty pete are probably a little higher then your school marm types.

The real question is how did they find a woman for that study in Montreal who DOESNT give it up. Ever been there, its easier to score there than on, well Roloson.
