A more interesting trend emerged when Guéguen analysed the data according to a women’s fertility. Among women off the pill, those in their fertile phase accepted 21.7% of advances, while women in the midst of their periods gave out their numbers to just 7.8 % of men, a significant statistical difference that did not exist for women on the pill.

Guéguen is cautious in his interpretations, but the study seems to offer real-world behavioural support for studies showing that women are most receptive to advances when they are likely to get pregnant.
