Women who are perceived as unattractive are more likely to cheat on their partners, while the opposite is true for men, according to a study that identifies predictors for whether your Valentine will be faithful in a long-term relationship.
The study by researchers from Florida State University in the US identified some of the strongest predictors of infidelity, including age, marital satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, attractiveness and history of short-term relationships.
Another predictor of infidelity was attractiveness. A person's own attractiveness was negatively associated with infidelity among women but not men - meaning less attractive women were more likely to have an affair.
A partner's attractiveness was negatively associated with infidelity among men but not women - meaning men were more likely to be unfaithful when their partners were less attractive.
A person's history of sex was a predictor of infidelity, too. Men who reported having more short-term sexual partners prior to marriage were more likely to have an affair, while the opposite was true for women.
The research, published in the journal Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, is the first to find evidence of psychological responses that help a person avoid infidelity and stay in a long-term relationship.
The team followed 233 newly married couples for up to three and half years and documented intimate details about their relationships, including marital satisfaction, long-term commitment, and whether they had engaged in infidelity and if they were still together.
Researchers tested two psychological processes that everyone shares in varying degrees: Attentional Disengagement and Evaluative Devaluation of potential romantic partners.
Disengagement from possible partners is the ability to direct attention away from an attractive person who could be considered a romantic option.
Devaluation of possible partners is a tendency to mentally downgrade the attractiveness of another person, even if he or she is especially good looking.
The team tested newlyweds on those processes by showing them photographs of highly attractive men and women, as well as average-looking men and women.
Researchers discovered that participants who quickly disengaged their attention from an attractive person were less likely to engage in infidelity.
Individuals who looked away in as little as a few hundred milliseconds faster than average were nearly 50 per cent less likely to have sex outside marriage.
Conversely, partners who took significantly longer to look away from romantic alternatives had a higher risk of infidelity, and their marriages were more likely to fail.
The tendency to devalue, or downgrade, the attractiveness of potential romantic partners also lowered the risk of infidelity and raised the likelihood of maintaining the relationship. Faithful people evaluated romantic alternatives much more negatively.
Both reactions - disengagement and devaluation - minimised the risk of infidelity and, consequently, were predictors of relationships with a higher likelihood of succeeding.

Basically, if you want to be in a happy relationship, never date an ugly girl.

Jfl. Ofc they are. They think they mog Stacey due to validation

 

[DharkDC]

no shit, they require more validation, and they won't get enough from you, so they'll fuck some other guy

 

[wasted]

Not a single shit given

 

[Britishlooksmaxxer]

Yeah I suppose its due to women in general having self esteem issues and then couple that with being an ugly fat cow and it exacerbates this effect so the desire for validation is so much so that if they arent fed constant compliments they feel 'lonely' and if they are they will think they can do better.

Its a lose lose situation for men these days

What I really like about this study is that it destroys the "date uglier women" cope.

Because they can't get Chad into a relationship and marry normies even though they consider them subhuman
The result could not be different
Stacies marry Chad and don't feel like cheating because they already have the best genetics guaranteed

Confused me too, theres a lot of other studies that show more partners = higher divorce rate though

They don't have affairs, they just divorce and get all your shit. It's proven in million statistics how the more dick a women has before marriage the more she is likely to divorce, exponentially.
