Women select partners kinda same-ish as men.
They started out testing this hypothosis of: Men like good looking women; and women like moneymaxxed and high status men.
Their conclusion of above hypothosis:
"results showed that participants were more romantically interested in potential partners if they were viewed as attractive and good potential earners, and these associations were not moderated by gender. "
Basically, women like good looking and good potential earners men. And men like good looking and goof potential earners women.
The hyrarchy of r was for BOTH men and women:
(r = value of correlation)In this case how well predicted these 2 factors for relationship initations (actions!).

Basically, women like good looking and good potential earners men. And men like good looking and goof potential earners women.
The hyrarchy of r was for BOTH men and women:
- attractiveness
- Personable (“fun/exciting,” “responsive,” “dependable/trustworthy,” “friendly/nice”)
- Money earning potential
(r = value of correlation)In this case how well predicted these 2 factors for relationship initations (actions!).
- How much r for earning potential for relationship initation??
r = 0.18 to 0.19 (A weak uphill (positive) linear relationship).
"The data trended slightly toward the tendency for the effect sizes to be stronger for men when compared with women, contrary to predictions made by evolutionary models"
Men and women found earning potential in the partner equally-ish important, men even slightly more important. - How much r for Attractiveness in looks for relationship initation??
r = 0.36 to 0.43 (A moderate uphill (positive) relationship).
At least looks matters double, 2x, the amount that money matters.
Same for men and women? I checked the r datas, and for men and women the difference was neglectable. Both women and men responded equally to attractiveness looks. Only 1 factor showed a difference: Women being passivve attitude more. Women put in r 0.07 LESS in into ask the guy out for a 2nd date. BUT women had r 0.11 MORE hope/want for the dude asking them out. Aka, women are more passive in asking a dude out, and when she find him hot she is hoeping more than a dude though he makes a move. Whereas dudes are feeling less like hopeing she makes the first move and they more prone to make the first move.
"these results showed that perceived physical attractiveness significantly predicted relationship initiation.... with r = .43 in the original article, and r = .36 in the present replication." - How much r for the COMBO factors being: Personable (“fun/exciting,” “responsive,” “dependable/trustworthy,” “friendly/nice”) for relationship initation??
r = 0.26 to 0.29 (A weak to moderate uphill (positive) relationship).
It's ricgt in between the level of matter, between money and looks.
Same for men and women? Wow, alot of differences are observed, I see between men and women, on this factor. EVEN THOUGH, the overall end score r is kinda the same. I'll share the most interesting and big enough differences worth mentioning:
- Women have high pro-activity in asking such a personable dude out to hang and also have high want for him to ask her out (although that one less than when dude is atractive). Compared to attractiveness r; she is more pro-active to ask him out, but is less hopeing he asks her out.
- For dudes, it's totally different. A dude finding a woman personable, he has MUCH less motivation r, to ask her out or hope for her asking him out; than compared to how he correlates with her attractiveness. So a man, is much more pro-active and/or hopeing to be asked out when he finds her attractive than when he finds her personable. For women that gap is smaller. I guess dudes hate the idea of friendzone.
- When a dude finds a woman personable, the r for ONS shoots up even way higher..
"results showed that perceived personable characteristics significantly predicted relationship initiation variables .... with r = .26 in the original article, and r = .29 in the present replication."
