第一次和她/他见面,该说些什么?似乎无关要紧的搭讪,并非无关紧要。对于女性来说,从男性的搭讪语,你可以迅速知道他要寻找的是哪种类型的对象;对于男性而言,如果你要找的是外向型女子,最好是多开几个玩笑。一般来说,外向型女子最喜欢“领导者”类型的男子,而精神质的女子(表现为孤独、冷酷、敌视、怪异等),则偏向于薄情的坏男人。且慢,PSYTOPIC提醒您:虽然个性特征和搭讪语有相关,但并不意味着个性是影响搭讪语的唯一因素,实际上个性对搭讪语的影响仅在4%-16%之间。-psytopic.com
PSYTOPIC概述:
在初期的相互接触中,也就是从男性发出想要亲近的信号一直到决定是否要发展到性接触的那段时间,女性总是处于控制地位。大部分男性总是在某一方面尤其显示出他们无能的一面——搭讪语的选择。如果你的搭讪语中充满性的暗示,结果将会很糟糕,以充满性暗示的开局者得到进一步发展感情的机会是最少的。
一般来说:
外向型女子喜欢“领导者”类型男子神经质女子最喜欢“好男人”类型精神质女子最讨厌“好男人”,偏向“坏男人”类型
什么是外向型、神经质、精神质?
外向型:喜欢外出,爱与人交往,外向型导向的,表现为内,外的差异神经质:擅长体验负面情绪,情绪比较不稳定精神质:常有负面情绪反应和暴力倾向,表现为孤独、冷酷、敌视、怪异等偏于负面的人格特征
什么是“领导者”、“好男人”、“坏男人”?
领导者:他总是喋喋不休,自信并且意志坚定好男人:他是个好帮手,很体贴,他很让人欣赏坏男人:薄情,自以为是,不可靠
正文开始:
一项新的研究调查显示,男子选择的搭讪语可以迅速的帮助他们挑选出特定个性的女性。当在类似于相亲会的场合中,男性总是希望把自己描绘成是一个不怎么强势,不怎么有城府的类型。研究发现,事实上在初期的相互接触中,也就是从男性发出想要亲近的信号一直到决定是否要发展到性接触的那段时间,女性总是处于控制地位。而大部分男性总是在某一方面尤其显示出他们无能的一面——搭讪语的选择。于是给求爱这场追逐赛一个十分粗糟的开始:充满性的暗示。
兰开夏中心大学的Chris Bale的一项研究也确确实实发现:充满性暗示的开局者得到进一步发展感情的机会是最少的。(Bale,2006),于是这就提出了一个问题:如果结论真是如此,为什么男人还是要用充满性暗示的搭讪语来做开场白呢?
搭讪语=选择工具
Bale (2006)和Cooper et al. (2007)在一些证据支持他们的观点下,简单而睿智的回答了这个问题:搭讪语对男人来说是一种选择特定类型女子的手段。换一种说法便是,男人用充满性暗示的话题作开场白是为了寻求特定类型女子。当然在另一方面,选择性格展现或者是传统搭讪话作开场白的男人,他们同样也可能在试着表现自己是一个好的伴侣同时表现自己正在寻找一段真爱。那么现在我们就来说下Cooper和他的同事是如何寻求这一理论依据的。
试验最初,要求参加者们考虑一系列可能的情节,在这些情节下,男子会尝试和女子展开对话。每一个场景,男子都需要用不同的方式去接近女子。随后参加者们便被要求评估那些基于不同方式展开“攻势”的交流能够继续下去的可能性大小。
那些台词经多种途径比较后归入以下几类:
1. 优秀伴侣——这些台词常常涉及到文化,特征,或者是财富。例如:你知道吗?这个神奇的东西我曾经在泰德现代博物馆中见过。(泰德现代博物馆 Tate Modern 全世界最著名的当代艺术博物馆之一。)
2. 恭维。例如:你就是当代维纳斯啊!(oh,NO!太肉麻了吧!)
3. 性暗示。例如:我虽然不是Fred Flintstone,但是我一定能为你做张石床。(欠扁!)(Fred Flintstone 摩登原始人的主角,在一采石厂工作。具体这句话为什么很有性暗示含义,大家可以自己猜测下~Psytopic成员ling向外籍友人求助下稍微明白了一点,给个提示:我们自家的床从来不是用石头做的阿!)
4. 幽默。例如:我能给你买座小岛吗?(真不错~)
那么现在,大体上来说,了解了我们女性参加者对这四类男性接近者得反应。下一步我们就是要找出女性参加者喜欢的是什么类型。
男子的四种类型
这一次,参加者完成了一系列约会伴侣表现的测试。分析这些结果显示女性通常都会明显偏向四个类型中的一个:
1. 好男人。是的,他很有帮助,他很体贴,他很让人欣赏——他就是会让人喜欢。
2. 养家者。他走进丛林,猎杀食物。带来火种。建了座小木屋——那么温暖那么有家的感觉。
3. 领导者。他总是喋喋不休,自信并且意志坚定——是你心灵的导航者?
4. 坏男人。薄情,自以为是,不可靠的——他完全配不上你。但是他身上总是有些东西,让人…
通过设想情节以及约会伴侣表现测试,参加者被要求完成一些列性格测试,测试他们的精神质(对于负面情绪反应和暴力的趋向性。表现为孤独、冷酷、敌视、怪异等偏于负面的人格特征),外倾性(喜外出的,爱与人交往的,外向型导向的,表现为内,外的差异)和神经质(体验负面情绪的趋向性,表现为情绪稳定性的差异)。现在我们得到了所有我们所需要的信息,那么就让我们看看这两者之间是不是有什么联系。
结果
察看相关性,我们可以发现,搭讪语的确可以选择特定性格的女性。
外向型女子最喜欢“领导者”类型的男子。
神经质女子最喜欢“好男人”类型的男子。
精神质女子完全否定“好男人”,她们偏向“坏男人”类型的男子。
那么,这就意味着男子所选择的不同类型的搭讪语的确对做出回应的女子有一定的影响。通过女子对特定搭讪语的回应,男子可以有效地快速判断出女子的个性特征。那么对于那些渴望寻找“坏男人”的人来说,就该用充满性暗示的,或者是恭维的搭讪语,相反,对于那些等待外向型女子的男士来说,还是应该多开几个玩笑比较好。
男子对于女子的台词的理解
我们大多很注意女性对于男子搭讪语台词的理解程度,因为在很多国家,很多概念中,搭讪总是男子的行为。但是这一情况已经改变了。这次研究中同样也反映了男性对女性搭讪语的理解程度。男性理解程度的结果显示,(和女子理解程度相比较)男子多偏向搭讪语中暗含性暗示(令人惊讶,令人惊讶!)这和女子喜欢幽默的搭讪语背道而驰。同样男子在判定女子较为喜欢哪种搭讪语的能力上,也比女子差了很多。而被男子低估了能力的搭讪语则是:那些包含愿意帮助女性的,那些愿意把控制权交给女性的,以及那些巧妙展现富有的搭讪方式。(太令人惊讶!)
注意:
个性特征和搭讪语评估的相关性并没有特别的高。(在0.2-0.4之间)这意味着仅仅是一小部分的人格变化可以和搭讪语相互联系(4%-16%之间)。因此,个性特征并不是影响搭讪语回答的唯一因素,当然,也一定是有些影响力的。

New research suggests men's choice of chat-up line may help quickly select for women with particular personalities.
When it comes to the human mating game, men are often portrayed as having little power or guile. Research finds it is women that control early interactions, from first signalling the man to approach to deciding whether to engage in sex. One area in which men are popularly seen as especially inept is in their choice of chat-up lines. Leading the field in crass openings are sexually-loaded remarks.
Indeed, a study by Chris Bale from the University of Central Lancashire found that sexually-loaded remarks were the type of openers least likely to lead to further interaction (Bale, 2006). Which begs the question: why do men still use them?
Chat-up lines as selection tool
An ingeniously simple answer is suggested by both Bale (2006) and Cooper et al. (2007), with some evidence to back it up. Chat-up lines may be a way for men to select for a particular type of woman. In other words, men using sexually-loaded remarks are looking for a certain type of woman (an easy one). Similarly, at the other end of the scale, men who use character-revealing or culture-based openers are probably trying to show they are a good mate looking for a long-term partner.
That's the theory and here's how Cooper and colleagues searched for evidence.
The study first asked participants to consider a series of scenarios in which men tried to strike up a conversation with a woman. In each the man used a different type of approach. Participants were then asked to rate how likely it was the conversation would continue on the basis of that opener.
These 'lines' were collated from a variety of sources and clustered into the following categories:
1.Good mate - these included comments that made reference to culture, character or wealth. E.g. "You know I saw this fantastic piece in the Tate Modern".
2.Compliments. E.g. "You remind me of a parking ticket because you've got fine written all over you." (Please. No!)
3.Sex. E.g. "I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I can sure make your bedrock." (Club to the head.)
4.Humour. "Can I buy you an island?" (Nice.)
So, now we know, generally speaking, how our female participants react to these four broad types of male approaches. Next we need to find out what types of men the female participants prefer.
Four types of men
For this they complete the Dating Partner Preference Test. An analysis of these results suggests women see men as generally falling into one of four types:
1.Nice guy. Yes, he's helpful, he's considerate, he's appreciative. He's a puppy.
2.Provider. Man go into woods, kill pig. Bring fire. Build log cabin. All warm and fed.
3.Leader. He's chatty, confident and strong-willed - a captain of your heart?
4.Bad mate. Fickle, conceited, dependent. All wrong for you. But there's something about him...
Along with these vignettes and the Dating Partner Preference Test, participants were asked to fill in personality measures of their psychoticism (tendency for inappropriate emotional responses and recklessness), extraversion (being outgoing, gregarious, externally oriented) and neuroticism (the tendency to experience negative emotional states). Now we've got all the information we need to see if there's any connection.
Results
Looking at the correlations shows there is support for the idea that chat-up lines select for women with particular personalities.
Women high in extraversion preferred the male 'leaders'.
Women high in neuroticism preferred the 'nice guys'.
Women high in psychoticism rejected 'nice guys', preferring the 'bad mate'.
It does seem, then, that the type of chat-up lines men choose does have a measurable effect on the types of women who respond to them. This can effectively allow men to make a quick assessment of a woman's personality by their response to a particular type of approach. Those looking for a 'bad mate' might use a sexually-loaded remark or a compliment, while those wanting an extrovert should use a joke.
Men's perceptions of women's lines
I have focussed on women's perceptions of male chat-up lines as in most cultures it's mostly the men using the lines, although this is changing. Perhaps to reflect this men's perceptions of women's chat-up lines were also included in this study.
The results for men's perceptions showed that in comparison to women, men were more likely to prefer chat-up lines involving sex (surprise surprise!) as opposed to women who preferred humour. Men also tended to be worse than women at judging what types of chat-up lines women prefer. The types of chat-up lines whose effectiveness was under-estimated by men were those involving offers of help to women, handing control of the interaction to women and (subtly) displaying wealth (surprise surprise!).
Caution
The correlations seen between personality measures and ratings of chat-up lines were not particularly high (between 0.2 to 0.4). This means that only a small proportion of the change in personality measures is associated with the chat-up lines (between 4% and 16%). So, it's far from the only thing affecting chat-up line responses, but there is still some effect.

我们家一位老师曾经说,在每个人的心里,对于和谁一起吃饭、一起睡觉、一起洗脚等问题都有一个排行榜,有的人把老板排在最前面,有的人把老婆排在最前面。
每个人对爱情都有自己的想象,每个人都认为在爱情的世界中,自己是最重要、唯一重要、排行榜永居第一的人物。然而事实并不是这样的,事实的真相是在不同的人生阶段,一个人他或她的心目中一定有过不同的、比爱人更加重要的人或者事情。有时候是前途,有时候是友谊,有时候是银行存款什么的。
很不幸,在你女朋友最近的吃饭逛街排行榜上,你显然已经远远地落了后,现在友谊是雄居第一的,这和你对爱情重要性的想象显然对不上号,但是---我个人认为这没什么可担心的,因为我向你保证,这个世界上没有比女人的友谊更不堪一击的东西啦。
一个女人,在她赤手空拳面对陌生世界的时候,她会紧紧抓住 “友谊地久天长”等每一根救命稻草。而一旦她暂时把世界解决了,这时新的威胁出现,那就是其他的女人。这个世界上大多数女人是没有安全感的,她们一生都在担心其他的女人比她美、比她年青、比她身材劲爆。
所以,万一你没有耐心等待你家女友和她的女友那天长地久的友谊自行崩溃,你可以采取:1。挑拨离间法,每天在女友面前发表“那位茶楼姑娘的身材太劲爆了”“她有男朋友了吗”之类的社论;2。装可怜法,每个女人内心深处都有伟大的母性,你可以假装生病、假装摔跤、假装被狗咬等等,总之要令你的女友意识到其实你比全世界所有独在异乡的茶楼姑娘都更可怜、更凄惨、更需要母爱,从而重登她的“需要照顾的宠物”排行榜第一名。
在你的女友之前,这个世界上有很多的女青年表达过不要孩子的理想,最后她们都幸福地生了。就像这个世界上有很多的青年表达过长大要当老板的理想,最后他们都成功地当上了老板的秘书。
SO,现实和理想的差距就是你脆弱的理想在坚硬的现实面前它能挺多久。有一首著名的歌曲“Get rich or die trying”,翻译成中文“不富贵,毋宁死”,也就是如果你不能实现你的理想,你就死在实现它的路上,绝不当秘书的意思。所以在你为女友的理想抓狂之前,我希望你首先搞清楚你的女友她的理想有多硬,她是真的做好了“生BB,毋宁死”的准备,并且打算从此和你的爹地她的妈米你善良的七大姑八大姨她好心的幼儿园同学等等都有一个叽叽喳喳的孩子从而绝不允许这世界上任何一个育龄女青年不生一个叽叽喳喳的孩子的人作不屈不挠的斗争吗?
能够反抗全世界对她的期望的女青年是很少很少的。我估计你的女友并不是其中的一个。她不想生BB并非因为她有着为可怜的地球妈妈减轻负担以及誓死捍卫京都条约的伟大理想,她只是患上了暂时性可治愈性的产前恐惧症。
一切的恐惧其实源于未知,恐惧是因为我们不知道自己将要面对的是什么。所以如果你想消除女友的恐惧,最好的方法是变未知为已知,让她认识到并不是每一个BB都像你们家亲戚那么可怕,这个世界上还是有很多BB会像张柏芝生的那么美,并且长大后还会像徐子淇生的那么有钱。
让一个不那么想生孩子但并没打算为此去死的女人生孩子的方法有很多,你可以无意中令她收看到关于长期吃避孕药可能导致乳腺癌的医学文章,你可以天天拍她马屁,令她分泌强烈的基因自豪感,觉得以你俩的素质不生一个孩子太对不起社会以及达尔文老师,最后在确定你的女友她其实想要孩子但又脆弱得无法亲自克服自己的恐惧的时候,你还可以采取其它手段,按照概率学,100个安全套中总有1个是会破的。
