Men Want Sex, Women Want Relationships

[hammervice]

Given a choice, men prefer “hooking up” to dating, while women prefer dating with the prospect of a relationship to causal sex, U.S. researchers said.

Carolyn Bradshaw of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va., and colleagues exposed 150 female and 71 male college students to a variety of situations involving dating — when the man asks a women on a date and the woman accepts or rejects any sexual overtures and there is the prospect of a relationship — and/or hooking up — a casual sexual encounter between strangers or brief acquaintances.

The study, published in the journal Sex Roles, found women seemed to want a relationship more than men, but women fear, whether dating or in hooking up, they will become emotionally attached to a partner not interested in them.

The study also found men seemed to value independence and they feared that even in hooking up, a woman might want to have a relationship.

A study of 221 individual people does not say things about billions of others. The hetero-centric nature of the study is also very telling, and I think it's stupid to overlook the age group, region, personal history, and millions of other factors which go into how individual people see relationships (perhaps asking about actual experiences and thoughts instead of presenting abstract fantasies would do the job.)

Seems like a pretty accurate study. I don't want some bitch tying me down either.
