Jfl, brutal honesty in this study.
Blind at First Sight: The Role of Distinctively Accurate and Positive First Impressions in Romantic Interest
Also, speaking of manipulation and hiding, this study just unironically found that, yes, you should try hiding your personality and project a fake one to impress whoever you’re trying to date. Literally the “people tell you to be yourself, but that’s bullshit, you need to not be yourself,” stuff, confirmed by an actual study.
Not to mention, I love how this study just casually dismantles any notion of a personality detector. Instead of women liking a guy’s personality, the more women knew some guy’s personality here, the less they liked him, and what got their interest were positive impressions the dude managed to project, regardless of what a guy’s personality actually was, with the “personality detection” being limited to disliking introverts.
Also, contrast this with the first paragraph of how much distinctively knowing someone’s personality improves your relationship with them. It’s literally what we are saying when we talk about, contrary to the ideas IT and other incel-haters have of us, being perfectly able to interact normally and no one having a problem with us or whatever, we just aren’t anyone’s romantic choice.
Blind at First Sight: The Role of Distinctively Accurate and Positive First Impressions in Romantic Interest
Spoiler alert, no.Viewing other people with distinctive accuracy—the degree to which personality impressions correspond with targets’ unique characteristics—often predicts positive interpersonal experiences, including liking and relationship satisfaction. Does this hold in the context of first dates, or might distinctive accuracy have negative links with romantic interest in such evaluative settings?
We examined this question using two speed-dating samples (Sample 1: N = 172, N = 2,407 dyads; Sample 2: N = 397, N = 1,849 dyads).
Not surprisingly, positive impressions of potential dating partners were strongly associated with greater romantic interest. In contrast, distinctively accurate impressions were associated with significantly less romantic interest.
This association was even stronger for potential partners whose personalities were less romantically appealing, specifically, those lower in extraversion.
Jfl. They just casually admit that having a “bad personality”, just means being an introvert. No bullshit about how women actually don’t like abusive, aggressive guys, but are just manipulated by them, just flat-out admitting that having a bad personality in dating context just means being quiet.In sum, on a first date, distinctive accuracy tends to be paired with lower romantic interest. The potential implications of distinctive accuracy for romantic interest and of romantic interest for distinctive accuracy are discussed.
