Men who are overly eager do not come across as attractive. Men sometimes act way less interested in sex than they really are, perhaps because of the assumption that giving an impression of wanting to have sex with anyone, anytime, is definitely not what most women are looking for, suggests new research.
Women are much more likely to have sex if they thought the potential partner was attractive. Men and women’s real intentions may be different from the signals they send each other.
It’s really the same reason for both men and women – the man’s sex appeal that decides whether they end up having sex.
Men who are the most interested in having sex reduced their signals of interest more. Women, on the other hand, might pretend to be a little more interested than they actually are.
As long as the woman does not seem to be excluding the possibility of sex, men across the board are willing to spend time with her – and enabling her to check out whether he is a good choice.
