University of Virginia and Harvard researchers have found that when college women first viewed the Facebook profiles of four male undergrads, they were most attracted to the men when they weren’t sure whether the men liked them a lot or just an average amount.
“The general assumption is that there is something about the challenge that increases attraction,” said study author Erin Whitchurch, who conducted the research while she was a graduate student in the department of psychology at the University of Virginia. “However, I attribute the effect to increased thought about the person.”
The study also indicates, “It may be that popular dating advice is correct: Keeping people in the dark about how much we like them…will pique their interest.”
It doesn’t take a research study to know that calling/texting too often or otherwise falling all over a new potential date can be a turn off. Or that keeping a detached attitude can build attraction.
