Insecurity in Relationships: Which European Singles Find Themselves Least Attractive (You’ll be Surprised!)
When we asked European singles from different countries some questions on confidence and assertiveness, the one thing we didn’t expect was high levels of insecurity in relationships in the responses from French singles. Surely, the French are hardly perceived as the most insecure Europeans when it comes to dating?
However, it seems that French singles may be suffering from insecurity in relationships. When completing the be2 personality test, French singles revealed that they score themselves lowest for attractiveness, compared to other nationalities and are less likely to express their feelings for someone they like, for fear of being rejected.
The most confident European singles are Italian women, who rate themselves the most attractive and are most likely to make the first move without any sign of insecurity in relationships.
How do we know about European singles’ insecurity in relationships?
All European singles that register with be2 complete the same science-based personality test. These answers allow be2 to provide a unique personality profile that helps the matching algorithm find other singles that are a good match.
One of the questions in the personality test asks singles to rate their own attractiveness:
Another question asks users how likely they would be to make the first move:
When you take the answers to both questions together and compare them by nation, the results are quite surprising.
Asked how they rate their own attractiveness, Italian and Dutch singles have relatively high perceptions of their own attractiveness and women tend to have higher scores than men. Asked if they are prepared to make the first move, the sense of their own beauty does not always correlate with assertiveness.
However, there are some obvious parallels, with Italian singles in general rating themselves the most attractive and also scoring highly on assertiveness. Italian women, in particular, see themselves as the most beautiful and assertive European singles. So far, so true to stereotype.
But the results of French singles surprised us: French men were proportionally least assertive and confident in their and a quarter of all French men would not make the first move out of insecurity in relationships.
The great thing about science-based matchmaking? be2 finds the right partner for European singles based on these replies, so all singles are matched to partners that are well suited. And those singles who are worried about their insecurity in relationships can rely on the personality test result, personal introductions and tools like the internal messaging system and the ‘just ask’ quiz to make it easy to take the first step.

Making the first move is one of the many things that have been affected by online dating.
Where making the first

Find your match – these be2 members already found love online!
Do you want to know what made the difference for singles who wanted to find love through be2?
Based on our success stories, we’ve tried to answer that question and came up with an amazing answer.
It’s amazing because it’s so amazingly simple:
- be2 singles, men and women alike, were not only looking for a partner, someone to spend time with, they expressly wanted to find their match, somebody who could be their “better half”, both physically and emotionally.
- This mindset seems to be the key to success – and the fact that be2’s free personality test makes it possible to really find your match is what sets be2 apart from regular dating sites.
- Former singles furthermore emphasize a good “first date chemistry”. Many even speak of a special chemistry before their first meeting! Several be2 singles fell in love via emails and phone conversations alone, and was verified in real life. Amazingly enough, the physical attraction often proved to match the emotional one. Due to the fact that the personality test allows be2 to select those singles from the database that are a good match, the risk of first date disasters with unsuitable partners is minimised.
- A significant number of the singles who found a partner at be2 say that it was already the first or second match who turned out to be the perfect match. It came as a surprise to them, but not to us. It only confirms us in our belief that we’re able to find your match based on the results of your personality test.
- Many singles even admit that be2 found better matches than they have ever been able to pick themselves.
"Every day we are more in love and grow fonder of each other, not only from my side and his side, but also from the children’s side."
"He is the man of my dreams and I am the luckiest person in the world."

Singles should always allow themselves time to analyse their own needs in a relationship before they begin to search for a new partner and fall in love again.

If relationships keep failing for the same reasons and bad relationship patterns repeat themselves, singles must be prepared to search for a cause within themselves, in order to break the pattern. Continuing to search for a relationship in the same way will only lead to more heartbreak.
Finding out more about which relationship type singles are can help them visualise personal needs, strengths and weaknesses that influence their relationships. This knowledge allows them to find a relationship with a partner who appreciates the strengths and balances out the weaknesses determined by the personality types test.
