Yes, being good with kids can be attractive, especially to women.
According to research, being seen interacting well with children can signal positive traits, making someone more appealing. Here's a breakdown:
- Signals Caregiving and Trustworthiness: As Professor Bos explains, being good with kids communicates an interest in caregiving and indicates trustworthiness. This is a highly desirable characteristic in a potential partner.
- Attractiveness During Ovulation: Studies have shown that women in the ovulation phase of their cycle find men more attractive, both with and without children. The added element of interacting well with kids further enhances this attraction.
- Perception of Nurturing Qualities: Demonstrating patience, kindness, and responsibility around children showcases nurturing qualities. These are often associated with someone who would make a good parent or partner.
