However, research shows that kindness is more appreciated within an already established relationship.
Summary

The conclusion came after the professor of sociology and psychology at the University of Umea, Filip Fors Connolly, together with the professor of the same university, Mikael Goossen, analyzed the behavior of 3,800 adults from Australia, Denmark and Sweden. The two found that personality traits make significant differences in the romantic success of men and women.
In the form, participants told something about their personality and whether they were in a relationship. They also had to underline how satisfied they were with that scenario.
The results showed that, for women, “being more agreeable” did not lead to as many complications, as they were just as likely to find themselves in a love affair as those who had a less “sensitive” profile.
As for the analysis of men, the study showed that the nicer he is, the less likely he is to have an affair. Those who were more outgoing, sociable and felt more confident, however, got along better when they dated. For them, this had no significant impact.
But extroversion alone does not help maintain the relationship. Both “kinder” and gentler men and women can have more love satisfaction.
“The stronger effect of extraversion on male partnership success may reflect social expectations in which men are expected to initiate romantic connections. Once relationships are established, extraversion influences satisfaction more similarly for both genders, suggesting that the traits that help you find a partner may not be the same as those that maintain a good relationship,” he concludes.
