The smiling Hitler

 

 

in a study at University of Bristol

 

“

 

After viewing an assortment of videos, women were then asked rate the men’s attractiveness in the context of either a fling or a long-term relationship.

 

In general the women preferred men who made prosocial statements, but the importance they placed on this varied according to whether they were interested in a short or long-term relationship.

 

For those women more interested in a fling than a long-term relationship, the men who appeared most flirtatious were rated as more attractive, even if they had been paired with antisocial statement.
