Men, more than women, chose mates based on physical attractiveness, whereas women, more than men, chose mates based on social status.

It says in the abstract that for short term mating both sexes are equally shallow.

lol because women dont have 'social status'. and men's standards are WAY lower than women's, most men just want someone who is decent looking and not obese

Everyone is inherently shallow whether they want to believe it or not.

Why does it feel like it's still controversial to say that women go for social status? A part of it might be that it might be because if this was widely recognised, it would admit that women uphold the patriarchy.

I think it would explain why we have more male presidents, CEOs, and even gangs. Sure you would say that being in a gang will not give you any status, BUT IT DOES. and especially if the guys come from a dirt poor background.

I'm not trying to blame everything on women, but just that they play a part in our society and that their preferences have just as much of an effect on men as men's preferences have on women.

Surprised Pikachu face.

If you are a woman don't bother pursuing a career.

I am confused with people seeing this as bad. If women prefer the rich then kids will have rich dad.

Bye bye welfare

CauliflowerBig3133 · 2025-07-28T05:11:53+00:00

I am genuinely surprised... Nope
