Pretty women 'anger more easily'
 

Attractive women may have the competitive edge by letting their temper flare more, research suggests.

Researchers found women who rated themselves as pretty displayed a war-like streak when fighting battles to get their own way.

The University of California interviewed 156 female students to gauge their temperament and how they handled conflict.

The findings appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

In the study, the women who believed they were good looking were more likely to respond angrily in disputes than those who rated themselves as less attractive.

Attractive women also had higher expectations of what they deserved.

Survival of the fittest

These were strategies that appeared to work because the same women were better at resolving situations in their favour.

When the researchers, led by Dr Aaron Sell, scrutinised the findings further, they found how attractive other people rated the women also tallied.

And so did hair colour - with blondes rated as more attractive than brunettes and redheads, as reported in an earlier version of this story.

However, Dr Sell insisted to the BBC that this link was less strong and his research had not set out to test this.

The researchers believe the findings have an evolutionary basis, ensuring that the "fittest" people mate and have offspring.

In men, they found a similar link but with physical strength rather than attractiveness per se.

Consultant psychologist Ingrid Collins, of The London Medical Centre, said the latest findings were interesting but should be interpreted with caution.

"This is a small study on a very limited sample group so it is not possible to generalise."

Ugly girls can never win, so what would be the point in them fighting?

In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet.

That's why they say for every hot woman you see, somewhere there's a guy who is sick of her shit. Or something to that effect.

From a psychology standpoint, people will take what is given to them. When you are attractive, people are more generous to you because they want you to like them and date them. This causes a higher level of self-entitlement which then turns to anger when not fulfilled. Plus there's an insecurity factor. Many attractive people feel pressure to stay that way. When their attractiveness is questioned, they lash out.

jebus wish I was a research scientist so I could get grants to prove shit we already know

Thats why pretty girls freak out when you dominate them. Drives them crazy but they are actually the easiest to dominate.

People who have a very high opinion of themselves tend to lash out more often, because they're used to being surrounded by ass kissers.... and don't have any fear of the consequences.

Ugly girls can win. As I've gotten older I definitely have come to realize that there is much more than looks to a good woman. When dating one of the first things I say to them is "There is nothing more common than a beautiful woman. Go out to Dean and Delucas sometime they are everywhere, So what do you have to offer beyond looks?"

And to me the whatever else is WAY more important.

So, how did they get you to ask them out again?

Personally, I find them less challenging. They may lash out faster, but they're easier to shut up. "So, another pretty face coasting through life with no brains." is usually more than enough to piss them off beyond words. At that point, they don't even talk to you anymore let alone try their bullshit.

Hmm, I wonder how Rosie O'Donnell would react if you walked up and slapped her?

Show me something. Making me laugh is huge in my book. Being playful, fun, upbeat all those are huge. A positive attitude is a big thing for me. I want someone that pulls me up not the other way round.

Has not much to do with looks. Girl I'm dating now is not much in the looks department, but shes funny, smart, witty kinda reminds me a bit of Kapitan. I have no idea what Kapitan looks like but I'd date her on personality alone.

Now thats an image I could have done without

Guys like confident women just as much as women like a confident man. Its hard to love someone unless they love themselves also.

I've said as much myself. It just doesn't matter what Katipan looks like. But girls like her do tend to be pretty girls.

what if I love myself hard?

Hot girls are used to getting their way. When they don't, they bitch. Welcome to America.

ROFL

You know she dates fashion models...I wonder who gets angrier when they have fight?

Snooky

This is why I absolutely love it when a stupid hot bitch gets put in her place!

I thought this was a thread about women? :shrug:

Mary Ann > Ginger
Low Maintenance > High Maintenance

BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!!!

:D

Do you think the reverse is true with men and their anger?

Could easily be titled, "Pretty women think they're entitled".

Why does an attractive woman feel at ease to vent her anger?
Same reason a dog licks his balls.

I tend to vent my anger easily, but that doesn't make me pretty. I'm just a redhead, so it's a whole other entitlement.

Indeed.

I hope for your sake, that your girlfriend doesn't read this.

You really think a guy that talks like that is dating a girl?

Ah, yes. Good point, sir.

My friend told me to post that this study was done at the University of DUHHH!!! :)

I agree. Guys aren't like girls. We guys pretty much know we're not the best-looking guy there is, but it doesn't matter. Girls are not the same at all, though from the sounds of your other posts, you seem more than intelligent enough to already know this. I'm assuming you're just being honest with yourself, which is fine, as long as she doesn't read it. :)

I am really not that great with women as my natural tendencies of passiveness and overwhelming kindness tend to be counterproductive in relationships. But I can tell you what not to say. And that is telling a woman she isn't perfect. I told a girl she was a 9, which IMO was an amazing compliment. Lets just say she didn't take it that way. :(
