How do women’s tastes vary in short term vs long term partners?

“Short-term sexual appeal largely rested on targetsâ attractiveness, particularly among women with an unrestricted sociosexual orientation. Dating appeal was dependent on attractiveness, particularly among unrestricted women, and on ambition. Ambition and attractiveness synergistically influenced targetsâ long-term desirability, and these preferences were not moderated by womenâs sociosexual orientation.”

We investigated the moderating influence of individual differences in womenâs sociosexuality on romantic preferences within three specific relationship contexts. Female participants were presented with four prospective mates, varying in their ambition and attractiveness, and were asked to rate interest in these targets as short-term sexual partners, as casual dating partners, and as long-term romantic partners. Short-term sexual appeal largely rested on targetsâ attractiveness, particularly among women with an unrestricted sociosexual orientation. Dating appeal was dependent on attractiveness, particularly among unrestricted women, and on ambition. Ambition and attractiveness synergistically influenced targetsâ long-term desirability, and these preferences were not moderated by womenâs sociosexual orientation. These findings portray the textured manner in which sociosexual orientation shapes womenâs mate preferences and underscore the need to delineate different types of short-term relationships. We advance an interactionist framework that considers how womenâs dispositions and the traits of potential mates jointly operate to influence romantic preferences within distinct contexts.
