The Science Of James Bond's Success - Article

Seen this and just had to post it:

I found it very interesting that this study showed the amount of sexual partners a guy had was linked to personality traits.

The paragraph that really struck me was this:

However, the study shows that women who share the same personality traits do not enjoy the same success with the opposite sex.

So personality gets guys laid but it doesn't help women? Sounds like science is agreeing with us.

Scientists believe that the root of their good fortune is simply that they try it on with more women, therefore by the law of averages are likely to ensnare more.

They say these type of men adopt a more predatory, scatter gun approach to conquests and have more of a desire to try new things which helps when it comes to meeting women, according to the study highlighted by New Scientist magazine.

The scatter gun approach line seems in line with Rollo's thoughts on guys that use a sniper approach.

I assume that when the article/study says "success with women" that this is just a polite way of saying "have fvcked the most women".

The study got one thing right:

Scientists believe that the root of their good fortune is simply that they try it on with more women, therefore by the law of averages are likely to ensnare more.

I question the validity of the methods used to conduct parts of the study however:

The scientists then asked the students about their attitudes to sex, including how many partners they had had and whether they desired short-term sexual encounters.

Most men are going inflate their numbers and project a macho, aggressive attitude towards sex, most women are going to play down their numbers and their attitude to seem more demure and socially acceptable. How reliable could their answers be? The article doesn't say how the study would account for this.
