And as a relative preference, it seems to decline.

Also, I would say that there's that.

So it increases absolutely, but then maybe decreases relatively.

So it's like the rank ordering.

Yeah.

So it's like they're maybe able to relax that preference relatively.

In as much as there's a winner on that bickering between the EvoPsychs and the social psychologists, the EvoPsychs won that one because it was pretty clearly predicted like, hey, richer women are going to have a reduced mate preference for resources.

And then they tested it in a bunch of different ways and it didn't.

But there is some...

Another thing I'll say on that is that there is also the caveat of the... I mean, I actually really would love to hear Steve's thoughts on revealed preferences, State of Versailles.

If we can gently steer the conversation... If I can ask the captain of the ship to steer us off that, I've actually wanted to hear his opinion.

But there is the...

There is a... Oh, this is going to be terrible in my head.

But there is the revealed element where it's like, if you look at women now today, and this is from the Institute of Family Studies, where they... It's kind of a way of visualizing the data more than anything, but they bucketed different income brackets.

Yeah.

And in the top...

20% of women, like the top quintile, they are already on average are dating down very slightly economically.

Yeah, they're dating up.

So there's this really weird kind of thing there where it's like, you can say in the abstract, and I'm teeing you up for some thoughts on stated versus revealed, but you can say in the abstract, oh, richer women, they have a stronger mate preference to mate up, let's say.

But then you see what they're doing and it's like, oh, they're less likely to do it.
