Please note: beautiful women do not like modest men!

　　Notice! The more modest a man is, the more disgusted a woman will be.

　　Humility is a virtue, but in today’s society it is male Not necessarily applicable. American researchers found that female I don’t like men who are humble and shy about showing their talents in front of others, but prefer men who are confident and even a little arrogant. The results were published in the journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity.

　　mock interview

　　Three female researchers recruited more than 200 volunteers to watch the videotape. In the video, a man and a woman each applied for a computer lab manager position. They followed the same script and participated in a mock interview, showing equal humility about their respective abilities and achievements.

　　The researchers asked volunteers to rate the modesty, likeability and a range of other factors of two actors in the video. The results showed that even though both men were equally qualified for the computer lab manager position, the man was less desirable than the woman.

　　The findings are partly consistent with a survey by the University of Aberdeen in the UK. The online version of the British "Proceedings of the Biological Branch of the Royal Society" published a survey report by researchers from the University of Aberdeen in March. The report said that if a country or region healthy If the level is low, then women will pay more attention to masculinity when choosing a mate. This means that Simon Cowell's haughty image on screen is more likely to win over women than Hugh Grant's shyness.

　　Reason: Transformation Bias

　　Researchers wrote in a published paper that modesty makes men appear less confident and ambitious, making them appear weaker, unstable, and unreliable.

　　The paper says: "Modest men are less likable than modest women because men who are modest tend to appear 'too weak' and lack confidence and ambition. ”

　　Researchers said the results showed that women successfully transitioned and established a bold, determined and confident image in society, while men encountered transition bias.

　　The British "Daily Mail" quoted one of the researchers, Professor Laurie Ruderman of Rutgers University, as saying: "Our findings prove that men are biased when they behave modestly. ”

　　Pressure to be a man may be damaging to men's health

　　Some men find this too: being a man and acting modestly can sometimes be disappointing or humiliating.

　　"The findings also suggest that men may avoid modesty behaviors because of concerns about 'side effects,'" Rudman said. ”

　　She said that in modern society, gender roles have changed, and women are more economically independent, but the requirements for men have not been relaxed. "Men are still required to maintain their masculinity, show strength at all times, and cannot show the slightest sign of weakness."

　　Rudman believes the pressure to be a man can be detrimental to men's health.

　　“Men are constantly burdened with expectations to be successful, powerful, dominant, without the slightest weakness or crack in their armor, and avoid behaviors that are traditionally considered feminine," she said. "Men's mental and physical health can be harmed by maintaining a macho image. ”
