Socioeconomic status, income, and things along those lines.
That's usually because that's who you're meeting.
But on the attractiveness side...
Usually because, yeah, when people do form relationships quickly, when they have initial impressions of each other, yeah, the attractive people are better at attracting the other folks who are going to be similarly hot.
But ultimately, if your relationship is matched or mismatched, it doesn't predict that much.
It doesn't predict how long your relationship is going to last.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
This one's fascinating because there's long been this idea that there's a particular gendered tradeoff where men can trade their money for a woman's looks.
And I'm fond of pointing out this little nugget that when the studies were conducted to show this.
In the middle part of the 20th century, they didn't even assess how hot the guy was, and they didn't even assess how much money she had.
It was like they'd never read Jane Austen, where the women's money matters a lot.
OK, so when you do the studies the right way, there's no gendered tradeoff at all.
Like sometimes people trade money for looks, but actually women do that like just as often as men do.
There's a mean difference.
Men have more money on average.
Women are actually considered hotter on average.
So you're going to see in the average couple that she is hotter than him and he has more money than her.
But that's just like a mean difference in how men and women are.
But I think that's where we get this illusion that there's a trade happening out there.
