The relative importance of looks, height, job, bio, intelligence, and homophily in online dating: A conjoint analysis
Abstract:
"Researchers have forwarded many attributes that boost (or impede) dating success, but rarely quantify their relative importance in real dating scenarios. Here, we observed matching decisions of hetero- and bisexual online daters to isolate the simultaneous effects of targets' physical attractiveness, height, job, intelligence, biography, as well as selector X target homophily. A conjoint analysis of 5340 “swiping” decisions by 445 online daters demonstrated an overwhelming importance of physical attractiveness for dating success. A one SD improvement in physical attractiveness boosts one's selection success by around 20%, while the same increase in intelligence only improves one's chances by 2%. While this field study replicates and concretizes many laboratory findings, our conjoint attribute evaluation also showed that men and women had equal priorities and attribute effects, opposing some common hypotheses in the field. Further, the causal effects of intelligence, height, bio, occupation, and self-reported homophily were literature-consistent, but 7 to 20 times smaller than the effect of attractiveness. Implications for studying dating decisions, as well as practical considerations for designing dating profiles and apps, are discussed."Conclusion:
"A conjoint analysis of swiping behavior showed a large, causal effect of profile picture attractiveness on selection probability, which drowns out the small effects of intelligence, height, homophily, and biography attractiveness. The importance of all attributes was stable across gender groups which contradicts some self-report studies and evolutionary theorizing, but aligns with correlational field studies on actual dating behavior. This study did not forward novel attributes that predict dating success and, in fact, suggests that many known effects might afford limited prediction power."

THE BLACKPILL SHALL NOT BE DENIED!
Even academia has stopped coping at this point.
Academic truthseekers are taking over and science once again prioritizes truth and facts over leftist soylent lies and faggotry.
