چکیده
Are intelligent, creative, and emotionally competent people more desirable? Evolution-based theories studies on the ideal partner suggest that they are. We aimed to assess whether verbal, numerical, spatial intelligence, creativity, intra- interpersonal emotional competence are associated with higher real-life mate appeal. In speed dates, 87 women 88 men met up 14 members of opposite sex (2188 observations). While only one measured ability—women’s creativity—was significantly appeal, ability perceptions by speed-dating partners could broadly predict Effects perceived abilities were substantially reduced after controlling for physical attractiveness. These results investigated play a lesser role in initial attraction than proposed past.
