From the Paper:

"Summary of Theory: A man will act differently during his first encounter with a woman depending on his level of attraction to her. If a man does not find a woman physically appealing, he will be more open and less self-conscious. On the other hand, if a man is attracted to a woman, he is more likely to put up a front, act unlike himself, and be more self-conscious of how he talks and acts, so as to appear "macho." This theory will deal with the latter.
