Scientists: men need relationships, not casual relationships

Most men are looking for a relationship, not sex for one night, the scientists said. This is contrary to the well-known stereotype that men are trying to drag in bed as much as possible the number of women. 

American psychologist Andrew P. Smaylernazval the idea that men are looking for casual sex with multiple partners - "Casanova stereotype." According to this stereotype, "the guys are interested in sex and not relationships." This leads to the notion that men can not achieve true emotional intimacy with their partners. 

The study Smayler found that men have the inner desire to build a good healthy relationship with a woman. He found that in fact men who have multiple partners during the year, minority, and under a variety of means, on average, three partners per year.

The ratio of men to have sex: an evolutionary perspective

How did the idea came? According to evolutionary point of view, men are endowed with the ability to theoretically produce hundreds of children a year. They can not be 100 percent sure that every child will be their, and because they need to spread their seed more widely.

However, this theory does not take into account the fact that if you want to pass on their genes to the next generation beyond, from children to grandchildren, it is best to stay close to the child and raise him until he can not pass on their genes.

Casanova stereotype and serious relationship with a man

Scholar argues that if we follow the level of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections way, according to research by about 15 per cent of men will be about 2-3 partners per year. If we follow these men over time, the number of men who will be three or more partners per year for three years is reduced to 5 percent. That is, of course, such "Casanova" exist, but very few of them.

Conversely, if we look at a very religious men, and about 15 percent of them, the majority of them are loyal to their partners.

What woman do men want?

The question of what men are looking for in a relationship, the psychologist said that in fact imnuzhna one that will appreciate them for what they are. 

Usually in pairs partners of the same age and often match each other on ethnicity, religion and political views. And the last thing that lays the foundation base - is compatible personality, like a sense of humor, similar tastes in music, movies, similar activities, since it allows you to do things you love with my boyfriend, and he wants to be close to someone who understands it.

In addition, men want a woman fair, which will not give out his secrets and true. The last three usually are reasons that people leave.
