In every nation, a person’s resource-acquisition ability was positively associated with the amount of attention they received from other site members. There was a marked sex difference in this effect; resource-acquisition ability improved the attention received by men almost 2.5 times that of women.

I'm always confused why researchers use the wrong terms.
Showing interest in men for economic reasons has nothing to do with 'romance'.
'Romantic interest' is simply the wrong term.

Being an ATM isnt romantic interest lol

Yeah I don't think it's more than the nature of shallow people pursuing an ATM, less romanticism and more of that.

As a neuroscientist, it's true. If I remove just that from my profile, I get far less likes.

it is not lust/desire. these academic nerds conflate that with “economic/resources interest”

Correlation. Not causation. People who are more educated and earn more are basically always born in wealthier families, and being born wealthier family would mean you’re much more likely to be tall and/or good-looking. It’s not that being educated and earning more causes you to get increased romantic interest, it’s that being educated and earning more, and being good-looking and/or tall, both come from the same cause.
