自恋的人桃花运旺 约会中更受欢迎

 Narcissists aren’t just attractive to themselves. They are, at least superficially, attractive to other people.

自恋者不只是对自己有吸引力。至少从表面上看，他们对其他人也有吸引力。

And as a new study of speed dating led by Emanuel Jauk of the University of Graz, in Austria, finds, people rate them as more attractive and more dateable. 

澳大利亚格拉茨大学伊曼纽尔·尧克在一项关于闪电约会的研究中发现，人们认为自恋者更有吸引力，也更适合约会。

To gather their daters, Jauk and company found people on social media and through the University of Graz website.  

为了找召集约会对象，尧克和他的同事在社交媒体上和格拉茨大学网站上寻人。

A total of 90 people participated in three dating events for a total of 691 dates (nice). Those participants took online surveys measuring their sexual orientation¹, their Big Five personality traits, and whether they had “dark triad” traits of Machiavellianism (the willingness to manipulate people), psychopathy (the inability to relate to others’ interior states), or narcissism². They were also asked to rate the physical attractiveness of other participants by looking at photos of them. Then came the dates themselves, and after each three-minute hang, the participants rated them on how much they wanted to be friends with that person, and how much they’d like to pursue a short-term relationship.

总共90个人参与到了三次共691场约会。这些参与者接受了在线调查测试他们自己的性取向，五大人格特征，以及马基雅维里主义的“黑暗性格”特征（操纵别人的意愿），精神变态（无法与他人沟通自己的内心状态），或者是自恋。他们还要求通过观察其他参与者的照片来对他们的吸引力进行排名。然后开始约会，在他们各自三分钟的约会之后，参与者被要求评论是否想和另外一个人成为朋友，或者追求对方来成就一段短暂的恋爱关系。

The ladies were marked as “yes” on further dates by 48 percent of men, and 30 percent of guys were deemed dateable by women.

48%的男性对于见面的女性表明想再次见到，女性认为想要二次约会的男性占30%。

The authors find that narcissistic³ people invest more in their appearance. Also, narcissists tend toward vanity, and with that vanity, what researchers call “mating effort.”

作者发现：自恋人们更多地投资于他们的外表。同时，自恋倾向于虚荣，研究人员称之为“配偶努力。”
