‘People who are selfless appear more desirable to the opposite sex. They tend to have frequent sex and more sexual partners.’
The researchers interviewed about 800 people regarding their relationships and propensity for helping others, including giving to charity, donating blood, helping strangers cross the street, donating winnings and helping classmates, among other things. They found the more altruistic someone was the more sex they had even after controlling for factors like age and personality. “This research is the first to show that altruism may translate into real mating success in Western populations, that altruists have more mates than non-altruists,” Pat Barclay, a professor at the University of Guelph said.
The study, called Altruism predicts mating success in humans was published in the British Journal of Psychology. It was led by Professor Steven Arnocky from Nipissing University in North Bay Ontario who partnered with researchers from the University of Guelph.

The researchers suggest expanding the study to include a wider array of variables such as relationship length and partner quality. Also, given the importance we place on attractiveness, resources and intelligence, it would be worthwhile to explore how individuals trade-off altruism against other desirable qualities, Arnocky said.
