Talk about your touch rugby league, not your marathon PR. Women are more attracted to team players than to men who prefer solo sports, according to a study in Evolutionary Psychology. When women viewed photos of men along with captions about the men’s athletic endeavours, they rated those who played team sports higher in both datability and sexual attractiveness. The reason? Women may associate team sports with celebrity, says study author Dr Albrecht Schulte- Hostedde. They may also prefer socially dominant men – the type often seen playing team sports.
