This is quite interesting...having been with sexy women I can attest to this. I find that most sexy ladies enjoy the attention of other luring men, and sometimes end-up cheating.

Is it safe to assume that men in happy and stable relationships aren't with sexy women, especially the married men?

They also reported a greater number of long-term relationships in the past.

So which is it then?

The 'sexier' women had a greater number of LONG term relationships.

Because if you're sexy, everybody wants to jump your bones. But if you're butt-ugly you've already given up trying ... years ago.

You basically got it spot on.

Attractive people tend to have more sexual partners, simply because they can. This does not mean that people who are less attractive have a lesser desire to have more sexual partners.

4. Discussion

High-oestradiol women were considered significantly more physically attractive by themselves and others. These women reported somewhat lower levels of satisfaction with and commitment to their primary partners, and a significantly greater likelihood along various dimensions of becoming acquainted with new potential mates. However, whereas high-oestradiol women reported being significantly more likely to have a serious affair, they did not indicate a greater likelihood of having brief sexual encounters. Furthermore, high-oestradiol women had significantly more long-term, but not short-term, relationships. Therefore, the results suggest that women with high oestradiol levels have higher mate value and are more likely to be aligned towards serial monogamy.

Oestradiol level was positively correlated with self-perceived (r(45)=0.46, p=0.001, d=1.04) and other-perceived attractiveness (r(44)=0.41, p=0.005, d=0.90). Oestradiol was not significantly correlated with women's relationship satisfaction (r(25)=−0.33, p=0.095, d=0.70) or [b[commitment[/b] (r(25)=−0.37, p=0.067, d=0.80).


(b) Mating orientation and history

Oestradiol was positively correlated with lifetime number of long-term relationships (r(45)=0.37, p=0.013, d=0.80). However, oestradiol was not associated with preferences for long-term (r(45)=0.08, p=0.62) or short-term relationships (r(45)=−0.05, p=0.75) or with SOI score (r(45)=0.17, p=0.29). Furthermore, there was no relationship between oestradiol and the number of one-night stands (r(45)=0.03, p=0.85).

So E2 makes women prettier and more attractive to self, but it doesn't make them anymore horny although they come into contact with more men
because of their prettiness. Such women may be intrigued by additional relationships but not to the point of cheating on their current partners - that is having sex.

Which quote?

That quote is actually the discussion from the journal in question. They are drawing quite a few conclusions there but hey - I'm not a psychologist
so no judgment calls :).

I'm just assuming if one quotes something you are endorsing it. But hey, assumption is the mother of all ****ups. :)

It's simple really... If you're good looking, you'll get more attention from the opposite sex. The more attention you receive, the more choice you have.

If you see a really sexy woman, guaranteed, she'll almost always end up with a sexy model/sports type of guy.

What bull****. I'm sexy and i have never cheated.

:D

On a serious note just because you take a horse to water doesn't mean you can make it drink. Same thing applies.

As an individual none of the above extrapolations apply to me personally.

Sexy I am, many men after me - sure, do I give a hoot ? No.
(it's just irritating, as sexual conquest is not a challenge at all)

The last thing I would want close to me is a vain partner, as far as I'm concerned if you're not exceptionally brainy - you're a dead-end. :p

Anyone cheats regardless. If a relationship is unhappy people are going to fall out of love.
