“The study was published in Psychological Science. Previous research has consistently found that when it comes to gauging a partner's sexual interest, men and women display different biases. Men tend to overestimate women's sexual interest, while women underestimate men's sexual interest.”
Somebody lying. The popular male internet narrative is that women have an overinflated sense of attractiveness which is why they won’t choose up on the men on their levels.
But several studies actually say the exact opposite.
I dunno. I’m on the fence with this one. I’ve definitely seen these dynamics at work irl, but I know shy dudes and aggressive chicks too.
Then again, I just read a thread on unsolicited dikk pics

Regardless, differences between men and women became negligible when accounting for individual desires for casual sex or tendency to project their attraction onto others. It just so happens that men were found to be more likely to do this than women.
Sooo which is it?
