Do you know the secret to dating? A recent study by a well known University has found that women are more likely to be impressed with a good listener and if men want to succeed at dating they should avoid talking about work. Women are more impressed with men who are sympathetic to their problems and are good listeners. But they switched off if they looked socially awkward or started to talk about work.The study looked at 20 potential dates who were having four minute conversations and they were asked to rate the potential dates on whether that person was flirtatious, friendly, assertive, and awkward. The results found that women tended to be the most empowered and the women were more selective. ” Being a good listener appears to be the best advice to come out of our study ”Dating in the 21st century has become pretty bleak, we are giving all our personal information to computers and out sourcing our lives to spreadsheets and algorithms.
