Do Women Have a “Fireman” Fantasy?The fireman’s allure: The archetype of the male hero.

Published on September 21, 2011 by Gad Saad, Ph.D. in Homo Consumericus http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/homo-consumericus/201109/do-women-have-fireman-fantasy

Of all archetypes of a male hero, the firefighter ranks very highly on most women's lists. It is not difficult to explain why such a "fireman" effect might exist. They are typically athletic men who face great physical risks, as a means of saving strangers' lives. Many of these traits are highly sought after attributes in a male suitor and accordingly the fireman archetype is deeply entrenched in many women's psyches. Few women fantasize about accountants, office managers, and dental hygienists. I dare say that few women (if any) have ever uttered: "You are arousing me with your sexy talk of the amortized depreciation of manufacturing equipment." A recent survey found that firefighting was ranked as the most prestigious profession!

Nicolas Guéguen, a French psychologist whose work I have covered on numerous occasions on my blog, recently conducted a set of experiments to determine whether women will respond more favorably to men dressed in a fireman's uniform (see here for the published article). For the purposes of this post, I'll restrict my discussion to one of the three studies (study 3), namely whether when asked for their phone numbers, women were more likely to oblige the request when the man is wearing a fireman's uniform versus casual civilian clothes. The men used in the experiment were considered good-looking and of comparable good looks (across the experimental conditions). The exact words uttered to the female participants were: "Hello. My name's Antoine. I just want to say that I think you're really pretty. I have to go to work this afternoon but I wonder if you would give me your phone number. I'll phone you later and we can have a drink together someplace".

Two hundred and forty women who were strolling down the street unaccompanied were approached (120 in each of the two experimental conditions). Here are the proportions (in terms of obliging the request):

When approached by the fireman: 26 out of 120 (21.7%)

When approached by a "civilian": 10 out of 120 (8.3%)

The difference is highly significant (p < .005).

On a related note, some of you might recall two earlier posts wherein I discussed how women will evaluate men quite differently as a function of the social status that is signaled by their clothes and cars (see here and here), and a third post in which I described another study by Guéguen that showed that women were more likely to offer their phone numbers to a man walking with a dog (see here). Bottom line: If you wish to augment your chances of obtaining a woman's phone numbers, step out of a Ferrari, wearing a fireman's uniform, whilst holding a miniature poodle in your hands!

Men and women use a wide assortment of cues when judging the attractiveness of a prospective suitor. That men are more likely to be intoxicated by a woman's looks and that women might be more likely to succumb to cues of social status does not suggest that either sex is shallow and/or superficial. Rather, these robust findings speak to evolutionary-based sexual dimorphisms in the mating domain.

How about a pickup truck to pick up women? Just throw them in the bed. Stack 'em up.

Easy...perhaps for men it seem that way...but as a woman, I still believe there is that one special person out there that I want to share every part of my life with......to cling to thru all the ups and down..and grow old together..and at the end be able to say "Damn, wasn't that a blast...and I won't have wanted to share it with anyone else!'

Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic...but I still believe!

Problem now adays is people rush things they go out for about a year or even 6 months decide to move in with eachother than a year later they get married and what happens is they thought they knew the person but they truly didn't and figured out they weren't as compatible as they thought it happened to me its happened to a couple of my friends and now they are paying for it Some are still married but they always complain about certain things. This alone has turned me off from marriage back then marriage meant a lot more because basically the wife would take ccare of the family, cook, and stuff and the husband would work now adays women dont even need men they are very career driven individuals now and basically its so easy just to leave and get a divorcce if things arent truly working out. People dont believe in working out their problems or honoring the word of GOD in marriage anymore it is obselete from this generation, So i question why should i get married?? I can live with ssomeone i love be with them cherish them and be faithful wwithout a legal piece of paper binding us at the hip. IMHO of course.

Thanks NonL...appreciate the support!

Easy...I orginally was going to say that the two of us are projecting textbook versions of the difference between males and females when it comes to attraction. You want to spread your "seed" to as many women as possible..don't get me wrong, I'm not saying sex necessarily but that kind of follows the path of evolution...to spread your genes to as many women as possible. While I on the otherhand, am looking for someone that will stick around and protect me and be a provider for a family.

However, stepping outside the generality of our sexes, and seeing what you wrote, I can certainly understand your feelings. In the "old days" women were the ones that stayed home and nurtured the family, while the men earn the living. Each sex had their own roles...it was a ying and yang...a balance. But now, with both sexes working, the family unit suffers...we have a generation or two of latch key kids...ones that have every gizmo they could possibly need (phones, laptops, video games etc) but no one home to watch over them and lay down the ground rules. And with both parents on the treadmill, there is more stress when they come home..fixing dinner, helping johnny with his homework, etc. And just as you say, the family falls apart because people don't work things out. Coudn't agree with you more.

I don't know what the answer is...I personally could never see myself as a homemaker..and yet, in my heart, I wish that I could fulfill that role. What a wonderful thing to be able to provide a loving home to a mate and the resulting rugrats.

Ok...off my soap box, now where did I put that poodle!

[jon29]

women of real substance aren't attracted to 'bling'; firemen, farrari's, blah, blah, blah, who cares. I do like the idea of having a poodle on the truck to send in before those blokes risk their lives. Canaries and sparrows for coal mines, poodles for fiery inferno's.
