Die Studien drehen sich um das „Nice Guy“ Sterotyp, dass im wesentlichen besagt, dass Frauen zwar sagen, dass sie liebe Jungs wollen, sie aber eigentlich eher auf den Macho stehen (vgl. auch Mögen Frauen Arschlöcher? und Mögen Frauen Arschlöcher? II).
Proponents of the nice guy stereotype argue that women often say they wish to date kind, sensitive men, but, in reality, still choose to date macho men over nice guys, especially if the macho men are more physically attractive. We investigated the relationship between men’s agreeableness, physical attractiveness, and their dating success across different relationship contexts. One hundred and ninety-one male college students completed a computerized questionnaire to assess their levels of agreeableness and aspects of their dating history. Twenty college-aged women rated the men’s photographs for attractiveness. Results supported the nice guy stereotype. Lower levels of agreeableness predicted more less-committed, casual, sexual relationships.

Die Studie bestätigt die „Nice Guy Sterotype“, also den Umstand, dass Frauen zwar sagen, dass sie die netten Jungs wollen, dann aber mit dem Macho-Man ausgehen.
Noch eine Studie zu dem Thema:
The purpose of this study was to investigate why some women report a desire to date nice guys but prefer dating jerks. Specifically, young women’s dating choices based on their reasons for dating in general and the attractive/unattractive traits that they perceive that a man possesses were explored. Popular texts offer evidence that young women may/may not select nice guys as dating partners because nice guys may/may not be able to provide them with what they want from their dating experiences. Scholarly texts offer evidence that the answer may lie in how the young woman perceives the nice guy—does he possess attractive or unattractive personality traits? The results of the present study suggest that reasons for dating (i.e., not wanting physical contact, wanting stimulating conversation, and wanting an exclusive relationship) and perceived personality traits (i.e., sweet/nice and physically attractive) influence a young woman’s desire to date a nice guy, and that perceived personality traits are better predictors of her choice of a man to date than are reasons for dating.

Es gibt also eine Unterscheidung zwischen den Kriterien, die Frauen für ein Date aufstellen und dem was sie attraktiv finden, wenn sie jemanden sehen. Und das was sie attraktiv finden ist wichtiger.
Das könnte auch für die nachfolge Studie von Interesse sein:
Many researchers have attempted to discover what types of men women consider most desirable for relationship partners. This study investigated university women’s (N = 165) perceptions of “nice guys,“ specifically whether women perceived nice guys to be more or less sexually successful than guys who are considered not nice. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were used. The qualitative analysis was useful in understanding women’s differing interpretations of the nice guy label. More than one half of the women agreed that nice guys have fewer sexual partners. However, more than one half also reported a preference for a nice guy over a bad boy as a date. As hypothesized, women who placed a lesser emphasis on the importance of sex, who had fewer sexual partners, and who were less accepting of men who had many sexual partners were more likely to choose the nice guy as a dating partner. The findings indicate that nice guys are likely to have fewer sexual partners but are more desired for committed relationships.

Die Frauen schätzten also, dass die netten Jungs weniger Sex haben. Sie meinen aber, dass sie lieber einen netten Jungen aussuchen würden für eine Beziehung. Was ja wieder dem Sterotyp entsprechen würde, deswegen aber eben gerade nicht wahr sein muss. Vielleicht sprechen hier eher die eigenen Datingkriterien als die Kriterien, die sie dann tatsächlich attraktiv finden.
We examined the role of personality (e.g., hypermasculinity, sensation seeking) and physical individual differences (testosterone, physical attractiveness) in predicting university men’s (N = 215) number of sexual partners. Significant zero-order correlations occurred between number of sexual partners and sensation seeking, hypermasculinity, physical attractiveness, and testosterone. In addition, multiple regression analysis revealed significant increases in prediction with an additive combination of these individual differences, and some of these individual differences (e.g., sensation seeking) contributed unique variation to the prediction of the number of sexual partners. Finally, principal components analysis revealed a common personality factor labeled Disinhibition that may partly underlie the relationship between some of these individual differences and the number of sexual partners. The results are discussed in relation to recent personality research and recent evolutionary theories of human sexual variation.

Hier zeigt sich, dass die Einschätzung der Frauen bezüglich der Sexualpartner wahrscheinlich gar nicht so falsch war.
Meiner Meinung nach unterschätzen die Studien, dass man eine gewisse Kombination beider Faktoren vornehmen kann:
Der „Bad Boy“, der sich emotional zu ihr hingezogen fühlt und eine geistige Verbindung zu ihr hat.
