Mars in Aries. I'm attracted to cockiness that has been visibly earned. Guys who reserve their respect for the worthy.

I get that ...it something about a man that is accomplished and confident in himself, what he has done and what he will do ...

Scorp mars

I prefer my men to be deep and passionate. I like a darker side in a man. I love great sex appeal. But I also like a man whom I can respect and get his job done right.

Mars in Libra

I'm usually attracted to a calm, deep voice and composed gesticulation and facial expression, as it gives me a sense of stability.

Nice Guys Win: Women Choose Altruism Over Looks

Forget the expression "nice guys finish last." A new study finds that men who are concerned for the well-being of others in place of themselves may have a better shot with women compared to men who are just good-looking.

Researchers found that women reported men as being more attractive when the guys were paired with a scenario showing them doing something kind, generous or heroic, compared to men who were notable for their physical appeal.

Altruism is the term for when someone acts in a way that is beneficial to others and not themselves. Scientists from the University of Worcester and the University of Sunderland, both in the United Kingdom, said they wanted to know if this trait has any impact on how women choose a partner.

In the new study, the researchers analyzed what happened when two desirable characteristics, physical attractiveness and altruism, were investigated together, and whether women preferred one quality over the other.

"I have been interested in why altruism or cooperation occurs in our species, seeing as it is something that traditional views of evolution … would suggest shouldn't occur," study lead author Daniel Farrelly, a senior lecturer at the Institute of Health and Society at the University of Worcester, told Live Science. The theory of evolution suggests that individuals should do things that only benefit the passing on of their own genes.

The study included 202 women, who were shown pictures of 24 men of varying degrees of handsomeness, judged independently by the three study authors. Alongside the photos were descriptions of the men doing something like saving a child from a river or buying coffee for a homeless person. Other photos were accompanied with not-so-nice situations, such as the man refusing to help in either of the previous scenarios.

"We found, in particular, that being altruistic is better than being attractive for long-term relationships," Farrelly told Live Science.

The researchers found that being selfless gave men a better chance with a woman if she was looking for something long term. The findings support previous studies that say altruism is desirable to women, because it means an individual is more likely to be supportive and because altruistic men are more likely to be better fathers.

In contrast, the new study found that selfish men were seen as more desirable among women who were looking for a fling. Farrelly said he found this result interesting, and he said one possible explanation is that it relates to other characteristics that women prefer in short-term partners. For instance, it might be that if a woman is looking for something short term, her choice of a partner might be one with less socially desirable traits such as narcissism, the researchers said.

Next, Farrelly said he wants to look into whether the findings relate to actual decision-making when a man or woman picks a partner. Although it is good to conduct studies with a high level of control over the conditions, it would be more valuable to see how these preferences apply in the real world, he said.

"Apart from looking at real-world settings, it would be very useful to see what the pattern of results is for men's ratings of women," he added. "I think there will be some overlap, but some differences — we shall see!"

Straight forwardness, authenticity, morals and ethics, genuine kindness (ie. not only that which can be seen and tallied).

Slore mars, sooo misunderstood lolol ?

Maybe my aspects? Maybe my life experiences have taught me to seek, crave this?

Taking Astro in account- its my Saturn in Taurus.

Saturn in Taurus has a deep need to feel secure; both emotionally and financially. They like to keep a strict control over their daily tasks. Unfortunately for them, nothing comes easy. They have to work hard for everything they get.

Taurus is my 6th and 7th house, I MUST have stability.

Aries Mars (5th house)

I like a dude who can be playful with me. Make me laugh, do silly things with me, be random and don't take life so seriously...at the same time I need someone who knows when to be serious. Lol. Maybe that's my Scorp Venus chiming in. 😛

Anywho, if you can relax and let loose with me, get me laughing and being genuinely happy in my presence...that's what I like.

Mars in Gemini. For them to be happy and kind.

And also be able to talk to anyone 🙂 (cuz I can't so I admire that 🙂 )

Actually that's pretty good, to be able to chat to someone for hours on end, just good banter about anything.
