University of Austin study

Always falling for adventure-seeking bad boys? A new study says you can now properly blame your hormones for the misstep.

Entitled “Ovulation Leads Women to Perceive Sexy Cads as Good Dads,” the study found that ovulating women unconsciously overestimated the potential of many a charismatic cad to be great partners and future fathers. It turns out that attractiveness and social dominance are just traits linked with good genes—women’s hormones simply led them to the best genetic candidates.

Conducted by Kristina Durante, a professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, the study asked UT-Austin students to view fabricated online dating profiles of both a good-looking adventure-seeker and a reliable accountant—and to imagine having a baby with each one. The women who were ovulating gave substantially higher estimates of how much the sexy man would help with child rearing tasks such as changing diapers and cleaning bottles.

A second wave of the study, published in the current edition of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, employed 300 women at both high- and low-fertility windows, who interacted via Skype with professional actors playing the roles of “Mr. Sexy Cad” and “Mr. Good Dad.” The “cad” behaved in a charismatic and adventurous way while also exhibiting unreliability. The “good dad” expressed his desire for a committed relationship and a family but acted in a reserved manner, lacking in the charm and adventure departments.
When the women imagined what kind of father each man would make, incredibly, ovulating women still believed that the bad boys would be dependable dads.
Bad news for nice guys. But good intel for you.
