5 Facts From Male Psychology Research

The relations of men and women have been thoroughly studied by scientists. No matter how we romanticize, questions of love obey mathematics and biology.

Today in our collection — psychological facts about men. Not all of them are true for 100% of cases. After all, these are dispassionate statistics that do not take into account individual characteristics. But in the vast majority of cases, this is how it works.

Men are much more positive about their former female partners than women are about their former male partners.

This is stated in Ursula Afenstadt’s book “Socio-psychological science and the science of personality”.

This is due to the fact that men in general are easier to relate to the issue of relationships. And they continue to perceive the former partner as a sexual object. The vast majority of men are not against continuing relationships with exes, even if there is already a new partner. Women, on the other hand, try to break off relationships with exes as quickly as possible.

Ursula notes that this property of men can become a problem when building new relationships.

Men prefer women who are less ambitious professionally than they are to start a family.

According to the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, the logic here is that a man does not want to compete with his woman for professional status. He competes at work, but at home he needs to gain strength.

For the same reason, women are cautious about handsome men. Not everyone wants to have a very handsome husband and compete with him in matters of appearance.

Men are more prone to self-compassion than women. Women are more prone to self-criticism. This is what the psychologist Reilly says in the book “Psychology of Men and masculinity”.

Self-compassion has its pros and cons. One of the advantages is that a person with compassion for himself does not engage in “self-eating”, does not condemn himself. He accepts himself with his problem and begins to look for practical ways to solve it.

Of the minuses, self-compassion often leads to the idea that the bad is only your unique, unique misfortune. But all people have adversities. It is very easy to immerse yourself in this state and constantly empathize with yourself, instead of doing the real thing.

Men are less likely to seek help than women. We are talking about both close people and medical and psychological assistance. The more a man is inclined to traditional patriarchal values — the lower the probability that he will ask for help.

This property negatively affects men. This behavior of men greatly affects physical and mental health. One of the reasons for the early mortality of men — despite serious symptoms, they did not go to the doctor until the last.

Men like the color red. Many women know this in practice, but they can’t even imagine how strong this factor is!

As psychologist John Elliott writes in the Journal of Social Psychology, men can’t ignore a woman in red at all. They will definitely pay attention to it. And even if this color does not suit a woman, it will still play a plus for her in men’s eyes.

But girls, on the contrary, often hesitate to wear red. It seems to them that this makes them too accessible in the eyes of men. Psychologists note that this is not the case. If a man likes you, then red only adds points to a woman. He will perceive her as younger and more energetic, and not at all frivolous.
