The first study involved 167 women evaluating mock social media profiles of either a straight woman, straight man or gay man.
It demonstrated that the women placed greater trust in a gay man's advice about a potential mate.
The second study of 272 women showed that they perceived a gay man to be more sincere than either a straight male or a straight female in scenarios in which the women were told potentially deceptive information that could lead to competition for a mate or a sexual encounter.
