title: Heterosexual social competence, anxiety, avoidance and self-judged physical attractiveness.
abstract: The relationship between self-judged physical attractiveness and opposite-sex behavior was examined as part of a large survey on the interaction patterns of 963 college students. The findings suggest that a self-rated negative physical image is related to significantly high levels of heterosexual difficulties.
