Women care about physical appearance more than men
Women gossip more often than men about physical appearance (d=-0.8) and they gossip about 2.5 times as often about close friends and relatives.
Some more data hinting at the possibility that women secretly care more about looks than men:
Among friends, women gossip more about physical appearance (d = -.80), whereas men gossip more about achievement (d = .16).
http://doi.org/10.1007/s11199-012-0160-4 (Watson, 2012)
Female students are twice as talkative as males in collaborative tasks when they are physically close and in small groups (N = 79).
https://www.nature.com/articles/srep05604 (Onnela 2014)
50% of women, but only 19% of men reported having phone conversations lasting longer than 10 minutes, daily or weekly (N = 136).
http://doi.org/10.1007/bf00303101 (Aries 1983)
Men are more talkative in large mixed-sex groups, so overall the sex difference in talkativeness is small.
http://psycnet.apa.org/record/1993-98939-010 (James & Drakich, 1993)
However, in a sample of N = 194 students, 71% of conversations between female students were gossip compared to 64% between male students.
(The data were "collected by having trained observers overhear conversations in the student lounge". Gossip is defined in a neutral way as "talking about a third person without their presence", regardless of tone or intention.)
56% of the women's targets but only 25% of the men's target were friends or relatives. Men rather gossiped about public figures and distant acquaintances (M 46% vs F 16%). No sex difference in derogatory tone.
Thus, women likely engage in nasty, personal gossip (.71 × .56) / (.64 × .25) ≈ 2.5 times as often as men. Perhaps even more often because such gossip might occur more often in small groups and women are twice as talkative in that setting.
http://doi.org/10.1007/BF00287594 (Levin & Arluke, 1985)
This roughly agrees with this more recent study that found women to be around twice as often described as "demanding/difficult" as men.
http://doi.org/10.1177/0003122417737951 (Offer 2017)
… so not only do women gossip more about physical appearance, they also gossip a lot more overall, so overall they possibly gossip about physical appearance more than 3 times as often as men.
Alpha fucks, beta bucks

Because ancestral women faced trade-offs in choosing mates, they may have evolved to pursue a dual-mating strategy in which they secured investment through one partner and obtained good genes through others. The dual-mating theory predicts that women will display greater interest in extra-pair sex near ovulation, especially if they are mated to a primary male partner who is low in sexual attractiveness. Forty-three normally ovulating women rated their partner's sexual attractiveness and separately reported their own desires and their partner's mate retention behaviors at high and low fertility (confirmed using luteinizing hormone tests). In the high-fertility session relative to the low, women who assessed their partners as being lower in sexual attractiveness reported greater extra-pair desires and more expressed love and attention from their male partners. Women's desire for their own partners did not differ significantly between high and low-fertility sessions.

- There is abundant evidence that women, as well as men, desire long-term committed relationships; but there is also an emerging literature revealing a hidden side of women's desires suggesting that women have also evolved to pursue short-term or illicit affairs. The purpose of this article is to review these lines of evidence and other recent findings pertaining to the evolution of women's sexual strategies.
http://content.csbs.utah.edu/~cashdan/publications/ec_evolanth.pdf
- Women value the ability to provide economically in a long-term mate. Females in a wide variety of species (insects, birds, mammals) prefer males with resources, and the same is true for humans. Buss’s cross-cultural questionnaire study of 37 societies showed that women in all of them placed a higher value on the financial prospects of a prospective mate than men did. Closer questioning of an American sample showed that women prefer immediate access to resources when seeking short-term matings but place greater value on cues to future resource acquisition when evaluating long-term mates. If women act on these stated preferences we would expect wealthy men to have more mates, and there is ample cross cultural evidence that they do. The importance of resources to women is apparent even in egalitarian societies such as the Ache and the Sharanahua, where the best hunters are able to attract the most sexual partners.
- Half of women have “back-ups”, men they keep close just in case they fail to establish a romantic relationship.

Using a movie that morphs a very masculine male face (frame 1 of 700) into an androgynous face, the facial pictures and vertical lines indicate the mean location of participants’ dominant male (DOM), short-term mate (STM), long-term mate (LTM), average male (AVM) and androgynous face (AND) selections, with respect to experimentally assigned personality traits.
F1 (‘Friend’ factor) is composed of positive attributes such as sensitive, helpful and trustworthy.
F3 (‘Enemy’ factor) consists of undesirable attributes like selfish, controlling and threatening.
The ‘Lover’ factor (F2) includes sexually exciting, supportive and healthy.
The STM selection appears to be the best ‘good-genes’ choice (Lover factor), while avoiding the negative traits associated with high degrees of masculinity (Enemy factor). The LTM selection appears to trade off some ‘good genes’ attributes in favor of those required for a good friend and good father (included in F1)

- Mate poaching is a robust phenomenon, and it is here to stay. When single women see a moderately attractive male, they are more interested in him if they believe he is already in a relationship! In fact, one sizable study found 90 percent of single women were interested in a man who they believed was taken, while a mere 59 percent wanted him when told he was single.

But women have evolved to have a high sex drive when they are initially in a relationship in order to form a "pair bond" with their partner. But, once this bond is sealed a woman's sexual appetite declines.

How ovulation affects what women find attractive: she wants Alphas when she’s ovulating, betas when she’s not
http://www.livescience.com/8779-fertile-women-manly-men.html
- Ovulating women prefer alpha fucks, non-ovulating women prefer beta bucks. A new study reveals that heterosexual women whose partners have less-masculine faces report more attraction to other men during ovulation. Women with masculine-looking partners said their eyes wander less, perhaps because the traits women tend to find sexy when they're fertile are already present in their partners.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1617143/
- Here, we show that women in the fertile phase of their cycle prefer body odor of males who score high on a questionnaire-based dominance scale (international personality items pool). In accordance with the theory of mixed mating strategies, this preference varies with relationship status, being much stronger in fertile women in stable relationships than in fertile single women.

- In this study, 208 women rated the attractiveness of men described as single or attached. As predicted, partnered women favored attached men at the low-fertility phases of the menstrual cycle, but preferred single men (if masculine, i.e., advertising good genetic quality) when conception risk was high. Because men of higher genetic quality tend to be poorer partners and parents than men of lower genetic quality, women may profit from securing a stable investment from the latter, while obtaining good genes via extrapair mating with the former.

Female reproductive hypergamy: few men have all women
https://www.webmd.com/men/news/20060601/how-many-men-become-fathers
- 14% of US men account for 51% of male reproduction.
Breakdown:
- Only 47% of men have any children by the age of 45.
- 47% of men are impregnating all the women. But it gets worse:
- 17% had 1 child. So 17% of men account for 17% of children.
- 16% had 2 children. So 16% of men account for 32% of children.
- 30% of men account for EIGHTY THREE PERCENT (83%) of male reproduction in the USA.
- 14% reported 3 or more children. They make up the difference. A whopping 51% of children.
- 14% of men account for FIFTY ONE PERCENT (51%) of male reproduction in the USA.
It gets worse, because this is where you guys are right:
- Of these men, a stunning 79% had their first child during their teens or 20's.
- Men in their teens and 20's don't have shit going for them - their brains aren't even fully developed. Their "personalities" and "character" are absolute shitheaps, they don't have any money or wealth or status or even stable careers. All they have going for them at their age is a) looks and b) the shallow ephemeral social status of highschool locker rooms and college fraternities.
- They are literally just hunky hot guys that fuck and impregnate 20-something year old women. And 14% of them are producing 51% of the children.

Context Effects on Women's Perceptions of Stranger Harassment
Context plays a vital role in interpretation of stranger harassment.
Age and attractiveness of the harasser were implicated in making a harassment situation more frightening or more enjoyable.
The most interesting finding regarding emotions was that the control condition was viewed as more negative than the conditions with the attractive man, the younger man, and with two girlfriends. This was not predicted and presents a curious result. Because the control condition did not include details about the harasser, harassee, or situation, it is quite likely that participants added their own interpretations to the story [= the harasser was likely presumed to be old and unattractive when no description was given].
Women predicted that the target character would be more likely to view the harassment as harmless or a joke when the harasser is younger than the target woman.

Women's Reactions to Hypothetical Male Sexual Touch as a Function of Initiator Attractiveness and Level of Coercion
In reaction to low and medium levels of coercion, women anticipated feeling more flattered by the advances of an attractive initiator than by those of an unattractive one. In addition, regardless of the amount of coercion used, women regarded the sexually coercive actions of an attractive initiator as having a less negative effect and as being more socially acceptable than those of an unattractive one.
On average women anticipated feeling mildly flattered by the sexual advances that employed lower levels of coercion.
Women indicated that being the target of a coercive act would, overall, affect them negatively. How negatively, however, depended on the level of coercion used. They expected, for example, to be very negatively affected when either their breasts or genitals were touched. Their feelings, however, were more neutral when they anticipated to be gently touched and kissed by their casual male acquaintance. This last result is contrary to the finding that women react very negatively to almost all forms of sexual coercion, from kissing to fondling.

The Perception of Sexual Harassment in Higher Education: Impact of Gender and Attractiveness
Both men and women judged a sexual harassment incident involving a female perpetrator as less harassing than the same incident involving a male perpetrator.
Physical attractiveness worked in favor of the perpetrator when the judge was of the perpetrator's opposite gender and hurt the perpetrator when the judge was of the perpetrator's same gender.
Female research participants perceived more harassment when the victim was attractive.
The fact that women perpetrators in this study were seen to be more appropriate, to possess more personal power, and to have a more engaging interpersonal style than men perpetrators indicated that womens' actions are even more likely than men's actions to be misinterpreted as harmless flirtation.

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: Exploring the Effects of Attractiveness on Perception of Harassment
Ambiguous behaviors were more likely to be perceived as instances of sexual harassment when the potential female victim was more attractive and when the potential male harasser was less attractive.
The interaction between an attractive male and an unattractive female was least likely to be perceived as sexual harassment. This was true for both male and female raters.
Stereotypes associated with attractiveness may bias the identification of a behavior such that an ambiguous action directed at an attractive female is assumed to be harassing, especially if performed by an unattractive male.

The success of politicians and athletes is heavily determined by their physical appearance.
Women choose tall men over short men no matter the rest of the variables.
People consider tall men stronger, more handsome and smarter for the fact of being tall. Short men are considered sadder, more scaredy and weaker.
Good looking people get treated better in economic aid and physical aid for the fact of being good looking.

How past sexual experience affects people’s marriages
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3737.2003.00444.x/abstract
- Using nationally representative data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth, I estimate the association between intimate premarital relationships (premarital sex and premarital cohabitation) and subsequent marital dissolution. I extend previous research by considering relationship histories pertaining to both premarital sex and premarital cohabitation. I find that premarital sex or premarital cohabitation that is limited to a woman's husband is not associated with an elevated risk of marital disruption. However, women who have more than one intimate premarital relationship have an increased risk of marital dissolution.
Lower numbers of sexual partners before marriage results in happier, more stable marriages and lives.

For women, the more sexual partners they have before marriage the less likely they are to be satisfied in marriage.
For men, there is no difference.

Homosexual men reported arousal at male-male and female-male but not female-female or animal. Their physical measurements also matched their words.

The majority of perpetrators of domestic violence are men. Perpetrators are often young, troubled, unemployed, and of low self-esteem; they have often experienced abuse (of various types) themselves.
http://www.reachofclaycounty.org/domestic-violence
Many abusers suffer from low self-esteem, and their sense of self and identity is tied to their partner. Therefore, if abusers feel they are somehow losing the victim, either through separation, divorce, emotional detachment, or pregnancy (fearing victims will replace love for them with love for a child), they will lash out. If victims "leave" through any of these methods, abusers feel they are losing power, control, and their self-identity.
Many victims describe domestic violence perpetrators as having a "Jekyll and Hyde" personality. Abusers often experience dramatic mood swings of highs and lows. They may be loving one minute, and spiteful and cruel the next. Abusers are frequently characterized by those outside the home as generous, caring, and good, and behave drastically differently in their home environment. Perpetrators of domestic violence are rarely violent to those outside of their domicile.

- The prevalence, age of onset, and symptomatology of many neuropsychiatric conditions differ between males and females. Gaussian-process regression coordinate-based meta-analysis was used to examine sex differences in voxel-based regional volume and density. On average, males have larger total brain volumes than females. Examination of the breakdown of studies providing total volumes by age categories indicated a bias towards the 18–59 year-old category. Regional sex differences in volume and tissue density include the amygdala, hippocampus and insula, areas known to be implicated in sex-biased neuropsychiatric conditions. Together, these results suggest candidate regions for investigating the asymmetric effect that sex has on the developing brain, and for understanding sex-biased neurological and psychiatric conditions.

- Following recall of a conflict involving direct aggression and role-playing a reaction to it, compared with men, women reported their anger would dissipate less quickly and they would take longer to reconcile. Women also exhibited increased heart rate, but little change in cortisol, whereas men exhibited little change in heart rate but increased cortisol production. We interpret the results as indicating that women are less prepared than men to resolve a conflict with a same-sex peer.

- Here, we develop and explore the hypothesis that the norms and institutions that compose the modern package of monogamous marriage have been favored by cultural evolution because of their group-beneficial effects—promoting success in inter-group competition. In suppressing intrasexual competition and reducing the size of the pool of unmarried men, normative monogamy reduces crime rates, including rape, murder, assault, robbery and fraud, as well as decreasing personal abuses.
- Women engage in indirect aggression and slut-shaming, even in clinical research studies. In his book, The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating, Buss argues that women do this because, evolutionarily, women who are willing to have casual sex undermine the goals of women who want long-term relationships. "Slutty" women hint to men that it’s okay not to commit because there will always be someone available to give away the milk for free, as it were. Their peers' “derogation” is thus intended to damage the reputation of these free-wheeling females.

- The evolutionary psychological perspective on wars suggests that the ultimate cause of all intergroup conflict is the relative availability of reproductive women. Polygyny, which allows some men to monopolize all reproductive opportunities and exclude others, should increase the prevalence of civil wars, but not interstate wars, which did not exist in the ancestral environment. The analysis of the Correlates of War data supports both hypotheses derived from the evolutionary psychological perspective; polygyny increases civil wars but not interstate wars. The evolutionary psychological perspective implies that women should be far less resistant to alien rule than men, because they have the option of marrying into the conquering group; however, this sex difference should disappear when women are no longer reproductive. The analysis of the Eurobarometer data from 15 European Union nations strongly confirms this prediction.

- Men and women have more sex when they follow gender norms in the household. This study investigates the links between men’s participation in core (traditionally female) and non-core (traditionally male) household tasks and sexual frequency. Results show that both husbands and wives in couples with more traditional housework arrangements report higher sexual frequency, suggesting the importance of gender display rather than marital exchange for sex between heterosexual married partners.

- Benevolent sexism makes men more attractive to women. German female students (total N = 326) rated the likability and typicality of male targets: a nonsexist, a benevolent sexist, a hostile sexist, and (in Studies 2 and 3) an ambivalent sexist. When targets were presented as response profiles in the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (Glick and Fiske 1996) (Studies 2 and 3), the benevolent sexist was rated to be most likable but least typical, whereas the ambivalent sexist was rated to be highly typical. Thus, women were aware of a link between benevolent and hostile sexism and approved of men’s benevolent sexism.
- Since the women's liberation movement of the 1970s, female happiness has on average declined. The paradox of women’s declining relative well-being is found across various datasets, measures of subjective wellbeing, and is pervasive across demographic groups and industrialized countries. Relative declines in female happiness have eroded a gender gap in happiness in which women in the 1970s typically reported higher subjective well-being than did men. These declines have continued and a new gender gap is emerging − one with higher subjective well-being for men.

Male vs Female Sex Drive:
Intimacy and sex are regarded as the most pleasurable and meaningful experiences.
/img/43f780caf8c8362e641b5ad592ee02e6.png (Source)
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17439760.2014.941382 (Grimm, 2015)
Cross-culturally, women play "coy" by downplaying their sexual interest, thereby provoking men's courtship investment and testing their readiness. The coyer the female partner, the more valuable she becomes, the harder it becomes for males to let go.
Ethnologist Eibl-Eibesfeldt was able to elicit the ‘‘coy glance’’. Looking at a variety of cultures, he found flirting to be prevalent and very much the same the world over.

60% of women said they hoped a recent hookup would lead to a romantic relationship compared with only 13% of men, demonstrating women's stronger preference for signals of investment.
http://doi.org/10.1111/pere.12220 (Weitbrecht 2017)
Women have a much higher preference for being asked out (M 16% vs W 94%) vs doing the asking (M 83% vs W 6%), so the mating strategies are completely different (competing/impressing/initiating vs choosing/waiting).
Women's interest in sex steeply declines in a relationship while men's interest remains stable. Within 90 months (7.5 years), the wife's willingness to engage often in sex typically reduces by ~66%.

Biochemical research points to a natural four-year sexual cycle for the human female. A woman’s natural tendency is to “liberate” herself from her mate after that point. This is in line with divorce statistics where women are the initiator 75% of the time.

Women have much more sexual disgust (d = -.6 to -1.7), likely because reproduction is more costly and risky for them (e.g. women are more likely catch STDs and maternal mortality used to be very high).

Even in the most gender egalitarian countries, women are 1.68 times as likely regret having engaged in casual sex (20.4% M, 34.2% W). Men are eight times as likely to regret passing up casual sex (28.9% M, 3.6% W).

In steady heterosexual relationships, men masturbate 4 times as often as women, mainly due to differences in sex drive (masturbation frequency M 2.02±5.37 vs W 0.51±0.92).
http://www.gerontoseksuoloog.nl/Artikelen/Sex%20drive,%20masturbation%20and%20partnered%20sex.pdf (Waterink 2018)
In the past 45 years, sex difference in masturbation frequency has not changed despite women's sexual liberation and even though masturbation toys for women are less stigmatized than men's.
http://doi.org/10.1080/00224497309550786 (Sigusch 1973)
Men think about 1.8 times as often about sex as women.
http://doi.org/10.1080/00224499.2011.565429 (Fischer 2011)
But the content of these thoughts is likely very different for each sex: A difference in sex drive causes a sexual satiation in the choosy sex and overdemand in the other one.
Hence, men's sexual thoughts are more about how to get sex (innovation). Women think more about how to evade unwanted sexual advances.
Note: Differences in sex drive are not generalizable to related things, such as orgasmic capacity (women have much higher), enjoyment of sex (mixed evidence), extrinsic sex motivation (for love/babies).

Social psychologist Roy Baumeister wrote about the "Tragedy of the Male Sex Drive":

https://www.amazon.com/Billion-Wicked-Thoughts-Internet-Relationships/dp/0452297877/
Women have possibly evolved to prefer the most dominant man available because that man can provide protection from other contenders (bodyguard hypothesis) as well as access to higher quality foods.

Up to 57% of women report to have had rape fantasies.
Men are more aroused by looking at and touching their partner, whereas women are more aroused by being looked at and touched (d = 0.7 to 1.2); again differences in preferences for dominance vs submissiveness.

Some explorative statistics on the OKCupid questions dataset (N ≥ 11,139; q… is the question ID, heterosexuals only). The dataset does not contain "skipped" answers, so the following data may be biased. The dataset is also limited in other ways as discussed in the paper linked below (e.g. people sometimes do not answer truthfully, but strategically to attract certain potential partners), so take this with a grain of salt…
- The vast majority of women prefer their partner taking control during sex (F 86.0%, M 32.3%, d = 1.54, q463).
- Women also prefer a dominant partner in a non-sexual sense 4.7x as often as men (F 36.5%, M 7.7%, d = 1.08). Fewer women than men prefer a balanced relationship (F 61.2%, M 79.9%). Only 2.3% of women prefer a submissive partner (vs M 12.4%, q9668).
- Most women prefer being tied up during sex (F 61.4%, M 22.2%) vs doing the tying (F 18.1%, M 54.0%, d = 1.05). F 20.5% an M 23.8% avoid bondage all together (q29).
- Preference for masculinity as broad gender description (F 65.1%, M 8.3%) vs feminininty (F 6.6%, M 74.7%). F 17.2% and M 11.6% have no preference (q82778). More evidence that about 2/3 of women prefer a rather masculine guy!

The husband's life satisfaction increases by 1.3 (out of 6 points) with each 1-point increase in his wife’s marital appraisals, as opposed to 0.5 per 1-point increase vice-versa. So men are more empathetic with their partner and/or women more likely make a fuss when they feel blue.

Women are attracted to high status:
Males with much lower income than their wives were 2.27 times as likely not to have sex.

Humans instinctively organize in status hierarchies and can easily tell status from subtle cues:
Grade received after an exam influences errectness of posture (r = .6 to .8) and people intuitively infer dominance from erectness of posture. (Erectness before the exam does not affect the grade.)

~10-11 months old toddlers are able to infer dominance relations between simple geometric objects by observing relative confidence and forcefulness in the object's movements.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21273490 (Thomsen 2011)
Another simple measure of dominance is the Visual Dominance Ratio defined as VDR = (% eye contact while speaking) / (% eye contact while listening).
Dominance positively correlates with eye contact during speaking and negatively with eye contact during listening. The ratio cancels out differences in individual propensity for holding eye contact and combines both in one number.

This study split men into 4 groups, and had them do training for a certain amount of time, and compared training results between natty and non natty. 1 group natty + training, 1 group juicing + training , 1 group juicing + doing nothing, and 1 control group doing nothing.
The group that did natty training gained 4 pounds of muscle.
The group that did Juicy training gained 13 pounds of muscle.
The group that did juicing plus NOTHING AT ALL gained 7 fucking pounds of muscle.
Yes, you read it right. That means that you can juice, stick your thumb up your butt, and do NOTHING and gain more muscle than a serious natural lifter. This is just to put things into perspective for people. I know if you go on over to the steroid subreddit you'll have alot of people tell you that steroids arent a magical muscle pill and that serious training is needed. This is really a half truth. Its not a magical muscle pill, but its pretty fucking close.
