Note: Attractiveness was self-assessed, but narcissists ("god's gift to women" self-view) tend, as the article notes, to have overly high opinions of themselves while those with overly-low self-esteem tend to be feel frustrated.

Regarding sexual experience, men with both the lowest and the highest numbers of sexual partners were less hostile towards women compared to men with an average number of sexual partners.


The high end is easy to make sense of: Abusers tend to have a few partners, A) because having one is important to self-esteem, B) hostile behaviour repels most potential partners, C) Abusers tend to trap partners, make it difficult for them to break free.

A man who attracts lots of women has to have some greater understanding of them than the average man. Plus true respect, fairness, and laissez-faire is attractive to anyone.

A word to men: Try a little tenderness, then make it a habit.
