In a new study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, researchers found that men often feel anxious when dating sexually aggressive women, to the detriment of their relationship—and the reason why is depressing.

For the study, which was small, researchers followed 62 newly dating couples for a period of eight months. The goal was to explore how each participant’s level of desire for sex and intimacy could influence their “attachment style.”

In psychology speak, attachment styles  refer to how people bond with others. Psychologists recognize four different types: secure, anxious, dismissive-avoidant, and fearful-avoidant. According to Fusion in the past, experts believed that one’s attachment style could influence his or her romantic relationships. For example, if you had an anxious attachment style, you likely needed a lot of reassurance from a romantic partner.

To test this newer theory, the researchers sent the newly dating couples a series of questions to answer about their relationship, intended to measure what type of attachment style each partner each exhibited. For example, the participants rated questions such as

I worry a lot about my relationship with my partner

is an anxious attachment,
and

I find it difficult to allow myself to depend on my partner,

which will be avoidant attachment, and so said my ex-girlfriend.

The couples were also brought into a lab and videotaped, which allowed research assistants to measure their verbal and non-verbal cues—including touching, displays of intimacy, and flirting. The couples were then surveyed again at four months and eight months.
And there were the maddening plight of being with a sexually voracious woman.
