Recent research has revealed that women seeking short-term relationships prefer men who take financial, romantic, and health risks.
It is often find only in stories, dramas and movies that a girl falls in love with a risk-taking and aggressive boy and the two live happily ever after.
Scientists at the University of Western Australia recently decided to look at this trend to see whether pre-industrial times required a girl or woman to choose an aggressive, protective and risk-taking mate. Or the thought is still found today.
According to the findings of a research report published in Evolutionary Psychology Science, different characteristics influence whether women prefer risk-taking men.
For the study, scientists surveyed more than 1,300 women from 47 different countries about their relationship status, sexual preference, household income and health.
In this poll, women asked how they would choose a man as a short-term or long-term partner. The poll also detailed risk-taking men and their jobs, and asked women about their opinions on what qualities they find attractive in men.
Participants also asked whether they like adventurous activities that make them nervous.
Analysis of research data revealed that women who like to take risks like men who can take risks.
In addition, the researchers also discovered that women from different socio-economic backgrounds are less likely to like risky men compared to women with better health and access to health care facilities, because Women who have access to health and wellness facilities feel more secure when choosing such men.
On the other hand, the researchers say, despite this research, it is still unclear whether risk-takers are more attractive to women because women who want to raise a family with a man and establish a long-term relationship. She absolutely does not like men who used to taking risks.
