Männer, die denken, dass sie attraktiv sind, schließen eher von Frauen auf sexuelles Interesse. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Selbstwahrnehmung von Männern und das Aussehen von Frauen das sexuelle Urteilsvermögen von Männern beeinflussen können

>A study of heterosexual men found that they perceive stronger sexual intent in women’s behavior when they (participating men) feel stronger sexual arousal. They tended to report greater sexual arousal when shown a picture of an attractive woman than when the woman was unattractive. The paper was published in [Behavioral Sciences](https://doi.org/10.3390/bs15081101).
>Men sometimes infer sexual interest from women’s behavior even when no sexual intention is present. This is called sexual overperception. On the other hand, women tend to underperceive men’s interest in long-term commitments. In part, these situations occur because both men and women tend to rely on ambiguous social cues to infer the other party’s intentions. However, costs associated with making a mistake in judging sexual intent differ by gender.
>Error management theory suggests that gender differences in perceptions appear because men and women strongly guard against costly mating mistakes. For men, this usually means making sure that an opportunity for sex is not missed. For women, this means avoiding a situation where they would have a child with a man who will not invest resources in her or her offspring.
Phew, good thing I know im ugly. Scientifically speaking of course.
Doubt this is men specific.
Men who think they are more attractive are more likely to think women are attracted to them. Seems a bit circular.
>these situations occur because both men and women tend to rely on ambiguous social cues to infer the other party’s intentions.
Clearly we need to work on a non-ambiguous system. Some sort of LED traffic light set-up maybe?
I’m curious does this is work inversely
I must think I’m hideous…
confidence in general is obviously part of it, but I’m sure there are plenty of guys that just base it off of experience. I’m no Brad Pitt, but I have always struggled to be close platonic friends with women because they never are truly platonic friends. Which makes me feel like women find me attractive when I’m talking to them probably more often than normal. If I were to never be hit on or anything, there is no way in hell that I would be thinking the same way.
This has GOT to be relative to the mean, because the average guy is clueless when a woman is hitting on him.
Next they’ll be telling us that men who think they’re ugly trolls are less likely to think women are less likely to think women are sexually interested.
Science is crazy
