چکیده
Mate preferences are the outputs of psychological mechanisms designed to motivate people to pursue potential mates who possess particular qualities. Preferred features range widely. They include morphological (e.g., face or body shape), behavioral (e.g., kindness or dominance), or social (e.g., status or connections) attributes. Mate preferences can be species typical, sex differentiated, individually variable within sex, culturally variable, and predictably context dependent.

In Study 1 (N = 184) we document (a) the mate characteristics that are consensually more and less desired, (b) the mate characteristics that show strong sex differe...

Prior mate preference research has focused on the content of mate preferences. Yet in real life, people must select mates among potentials who vary along myriad dimensions. How do people incorporate information on many different mate preferences in order to choose which partner to pursue? Here, in Study 1, we compare seven candidate algorithms for integrating multiple mate preferences in a comp...

Evolutionary research continues to discover new features of human mate preferences, but the downstream consequences of these preferences for mate selection have been insufficiently explored. Some have inferred that stated preferences have few behavioral consequences given seemingly weak effects of preferences in predicting mating outcomes. Here we test this inference with data from simulated ma...
