Do you find yourself ending up as the "good friend" of women, although you are being super nice and polite? "Nice guys finish last" is not just a cliché, it's a real principle in human psychology. In this article I would to review studies in psychology that explain why many women are attracted to maniacs and "bad boys", and how you can use this information to improve your attractiveness in the eyes of women. Attraction to Bad BoysHow to make a woman fall in love with you? Should you spend your time buying gifts, complimenting, impressing women and being what you might think women want and need? Or perhaps you should show very little interest, and even the opposite – disinterest? A study that was recently published on the Journal of Psychological Science has shown interesting results.rnThe study was conducted via Facebook, about 50 women were divided into 3 groups, and each woman was introduced to 4 profiles of men.rnThe first group of women was told that these men showed much interest in them. The second group was told that the men didn't show any interest in them. rnThe third group of women was given an unclear signal – they were told that the men did show some interest, but also showed disinterest as well. So their signal was mixed and uncertain. The results of the study showed that women show the little interest in men who showed no interest in them. rnHowever, women are attracted the most to men who give unclear signals of their attraction. You can call it being "maniacs", or "playing hard to get".rnThe study clearly shows that women prefer men who set challenges, who are not easily attracted. Women Choose the "Wrong Guy" Several studies that were published in the past, showed what most women already know – a woman's common complaint about her dating life would be that she's "meeting the wrong guys". Those "wrong guys", as the first study shows, are probably men who aren't really interested. They don't want to commit and show their clear intentions – but women keep dating them again and again. Is it some "biological defect"? Well, the attraction mechanism of human beings was designed through millions of years of evolution. If you think about the male side – well, men are attracted to women mainly based on physical looks – the size of her breasts, her beauty, her curvy body, etc. These aren't necessarily qualities that make her a good romantic partner. But that's how we are biologically designed. How to Use This Information Not understanding what attracts the opposite sex, is one of the main causes for frustration among both men and women.rnDating women has much more to do than physical attraction. However, attracting women is the basis for any relationship with a woman. You don't have to be a bad guy or to mistreat women. But you should definitely consider learning how to talk to women. Not showing excess interest and being a bit hard-to-get, is a good advice for men who seem to not be attractive enough to women.
