I ’ve always bump that the meaner I am to someone , the more they want to have sex activity with me .
" He who cares the least , " and all that jazz . I ’m kidding . Kind of . I ’m also , evidently , wrong . Science now says that how nice you are forthwith and positively correlate to how much sex activity you have .
In other words , I ’m never getting position again . So , there ’s that .

If there was ever a good reason to be tolerant to hoi polloi , I ’d love to bed .
Good deeds = more doing the deed
A new report issue in theBritish Journal of Psychologyfound that that the more “ good works ” you do , the more you ’ll actually do the deed .
The data point that lead to these findings was gathered from 800 unmarried men and women who were ask to self - report on their disposition toward good-hearted activities as well as their sexual histories . Altruistic actions did n’t need to be grandiose to enumerate – anything from donate to a charity to giving blood line or just helping schoolmate all seem to correspond with more notches on the bedpost .
The study admit answering yes - or - no to statements such as " member of the opposite sex that I like lean to like me back " and " I can have as many intimate partners as I select . " Creepy .
These ego - reporting participants who had high scores for being kind also claimed to be debonair with the polar sexual urge , have sex with more people , have more cursory sexual partners , and enjoy more frequent sex within a serious relationship .
Honestly , considering these stats are establish on " self - reports , " I do n’t hump how much I believe them . I have in mind , I know I say I have a lot more sex than I in reality do . And I know most mass would exaggerate the grade of ego - giving to which they support . The whole thing seems a petty fishy to me . I guess we had better hope that these selfless people are also not LIARS .
From an evolutionary perspective, we may be acting nice in order to get laid
“ It appears that selflessness evolved in our specie , in part , because it serve as a signal of other underlying desirable timbre , which helps individual reproduce , ” say lead researcher Professor Arnocky .
If Polymonium caeruleum van-bruntiae and altruism can be seen as signal that things are going well for the person doing the gift , maybe see someone act like a decent human being taps into our primitive musical mode of choose strong , healthy partners to multiply with . maybe the underlying desirable calibre are adept health , economic success , overall societal desirableness … or what the study refers to as " gamy mating succeeder .
