Individuals with unrestricted sociosexual orientations are most likely to:

• A. tend to be more flirtatious
• B. are more likely to be female than male
• C. are less likely to engage in extra-dyadic sex
• D. tend to be introverted

Answer: (A)

Unrestricted sociosexual orientation means being comfortable pursuing sexual relationships without commitment and often adopting a short-term mating approach. A natural behavior that fits this mindset is flirtation—using playful, socially savvy signals to attract potential partners without implying long-term involvement. So, being more flirtatious is the best fit for individuals with unrestricted orientation.

Gender isn’t the defining factor here, and unrestricted orientation is more closely linked to engaging in casual, extra-dyadic encounters rather than avoiding them. It’s also not about being introverted; this tendency is generally associated with more sociable, outward-oriented behavior that facilitates seeking casual partners.
