研究:为什么丑男热衷追美女

There are hints in the HOTorNOT.com data that suggest men do learn to accept their limitations: They apparently hedge their bets by asking for more dates. In fact, the men in the study requested a full 240 percent more dates than the women. Researchers didn't look at how many of these online come-ons were successful, but the number of dates most men asked for might be a sign that the less attractive among us — even the men — recognize that they may have to settle for dating someone who is closer to them on the "hotness" scale。

来自HOTorNOT.com的数据提示，男人须要学会接受自己的局限：他们显然应该邀请更多的约会，以增加成功的几率。事实上，研究中的男性提请约会的次数整整是女性的2.4倍。研究者并不关注这类在线的“勾引”有多少会成功，而是关注大多数男性发起的约会数量，这也许是个信号：缺乏吸引力的女性——甚至包括男性——满足于与自己“魅力”指数近似的异性约会。

"Good looking people are always looking for other good looking people," says Helen Fisher, a professor at Rutgers University who studies mating behavior and romantic love。

“漂亮的人总是追求漂亮的人”，该研究外的另一位学者、专门研究交配行为和浪漫爱情的罗格斯大学教授Helen Fisher说。

"And ultimately, men figure their own good looks are not as important as a woman’s," says Fisher, who wasn't involved with the study. "They figure they’re selling a whole lot of things that women want that aren’t associated with being attractive."
