Sexes split over one night stands


Men and women view one night stands differently

Many women are left unhappy in the aftermath of casual sexual encounters, a survey has revealed.
Just under half of women who answered the internet poll, published in the journal "Human Nature", said they felt it had been a bad idea.
Four out of five men, in contrast, said they were happy with a brief fling.
The academic leading the research said it showed that there was no evolutionary advantage for women in one night stands.

Basic emotions guide us down pathways that have been advantageous for our ancestors

Durham University?

The survey was answered by 1,700 people who had all experienced this kind of relationship.
While men reported feeling more content, sexually satisfied and confident after meaningless sex, women were more likely to worry about feeling used and "letting themselves down".
Some of the their reasons for the encounters were because they felt there was the possibility of a longer term relationship.
Professor Anne Campbell, from Durham University, who carried out the research, said this was evolution at work.
"In evolutionary terms women bear the brunt of parental care and it has been generally thought that it was to their advantage to choose their mate carefully and remain faithful to make sure that their mate had no reason to believe he was raising another man's child.
"Recently, biologists have suggested that females could benefit from mating with many men - it would increase the genetic diversity of their children, and, if a high quality man would not stay with them forever, they might at least get his excellent genes for their child."
However, she said that if women were designed by evolution for short-term relationships, they would enjoy them more, and the survey suggested this was not the case.
"Basic emotions guide us down pathways that have been advantageous for our ancestors," said Professor Campbell.

Not really surprised because most women are more emotional than men.

I'm one of those girls that don't like the idea of a one night stand. If you see where I pee, then we are officially dating. lmao

OMG!
I agree with you though in a sense, i'm now in a place where I really won't do it with a guy unless I feel he's boyfriend material and after he bites and eats the cookie we're an item

Well, I doubt that most drunk guys would be concerned if the girl they take home for the night... gets hers as well.
And yes, the emotional aspect must play a big part as well.

Not to mention all the STDs or AIDs that may come along with it even with protected sex as condoms do break. STDs / AIDs sometimes won't show up at tests till years later... SCARY!!!

If men likes it, it just show as a species sexually, they have less self-control to do such idiotic thing (putting health at risk). So their IQ when ONS hormones kick in... equals "0".... same with women who gave into ONS hormones.

Just GROSS!
