It’s the classic conundrum: Do women like a nice guy or a bad boy? BuzzFeed conducted a large poll of its readers and asked them to choose between a few different scenarios in which the same man posed as two different versions of himself: a more feminine version (the “nice guy”) and a more masculine version (the “bad boy”).
Almost 400,000 people took the poll, and its results were surprising, defying gender norms! In 6 out of 7 tests, the poll audience voted for the more feminine option. Take a look at their findings below.

Conclusion: the results of this experiment suggest that the sample polling group of upwards of 400,000 people preferred the less traditionally masculine portrayals, going against established societal gender norms and supporting a theory that our perception of male attractiveness is changing.
