Meta-analysis: physical attractiveness predicts romantic evaluations for both men and women.

Guys, this is pretty much the ultimate blackpill.

Our conceptual dependent variable is encompassed by the term romantic evaluation. We use this term to refer to any positive or negative attitude about a romantic partner or romantic relationship, such as romantic desire for a potential partner, relationship satisfaction with a current partner, or any of the myriad, correlated evaluative constructs that permeate the relationships literature (e.g., passion, love, commitment, trust; Fletcher, Simpson, & Thomas, 2000b).

In other words, the dependent variable of romantic evaluation essentially constitutes the degree to which the participant loves his/her partner (dating, married), or desires his/her target (crush, speed dating encounter, etc).

A meta-analysis indicated that participants’ romantic evaluations of a partner whom they had (at least) met face to face tended to be more positive to the extent that the partner was physically attractive (N 29,414) and had good earning prospects (N 50,113). Importantly, however, these associations did not significantly differ by participant sex; that is, physical attractiveness tended to inspire positive romantic evaluations about equally for men (r .43) and women (r .40)...

As demonstrated over a large sample of nearly 30,000, the more physically attractive you are, the more your partner will love you. Similarly, the more physically attractive you are, the more an unattached target of the opposite gender will desire you. This profound effect of physical attractiveness on romantic evaluation is unmoderated by gender. Eastwick and friends are truly and brutally based.
