The old adage that opposites attract could not be further from the truth. A research by Luis Garcia, who has studied human sexuality and gender differences for more than 20 years, indicates that men and women tend to gravitate toward those who have similar sexual as well as social backgrounds. This means that those who are more sexually experienced tend to stick together while those who are considered to be more sexual novices look for similar type
companions.
Garcia has done research on how men and women view sex in an attempt to determine whether couples who are the most accurate in predicting the sexual likes and dislikes of their partners tend to be happier.
“In general you find that men and women are pretty good at knowing in general what the other likes sexually,” says Garcia. “But what we also find is that women tend to overestimate the arousal level of men when it comes to certain sexual
activities.”
While men more often than women are initially attracted as a result of a female’s physical attractiveness, women, when compared to men, tend to be guided more by a man’s intelligence, personality, and level of ambition.
