"'Gold digging emerged as an exploitative mating strategy beyond a simple preference for resourceful partners. It was observed among both sexes.'"
"'If gold digging is a human mating strategy, [it makes sense that] men also use it - even at lower rates.'"
"'Gold digging was associated with psychopathy, which captures its reckless component. This was true for both sexes.'"
A study from the Behavioural and Social Sciences Institute in Vienna reveals that gold digging is not exclusive to women. Researchers surveyed 351 individuals about dating preferences and found that both sexes engage in this exploitative strategy. Gold diggers often exhibit narcissistic and reckless traits. The study emphasizes that pursuing partners for their wealth or status is a broader human behavior, not limited to one gender. The findings challenge stereotypes surrounding gold diggers and highlight the psychological traits associated with this behavior.
