Some men avoid taking their relationships to the next level at all costs. This may be why, explains WendyPatrickPhD
Menelaos Apostolou and Rafaella Philippou explored the effects of self-esteem and desirable traits on the decision to remain single.They distinguished between involuntary singlehood, defined as people who would rather be in an intimate relationship and those who are single by choice. They investigated the link between possessing valuable traits that people prefer in a partner and self-esteem on singlehood status.
They found that self-esteem was a significant predictor of marital status for men. Higher scores correlated with a higher probability of being in a relationship or single by choice rather than involuntarily single. They found no such link between self-esteem and marital status for women.Apostolou and Philippou also looked at the impact of desirable traits on relationship status.
However, Apostolou and Philippou found that generally, for both genders, self-ratings of desirability did not directly predict marital status. However, some traits had significant indirect effects on men, the largest being “good looks,” where higher scores were linked with higher self-esteem, which was associated with a higher likelihood of being in a relationship or single by choice.
