Typically, women looking for a bf care less about how a guy looks than men looking for a gf care about how a woman looks.

I think the Match.com people asked people to rate physical attractiveness vs how interested they were in meeting someone live.

The male respondents showed a much stronger correlation between the two than women.

    The only study I remember reading about was how people rated each other's appearance on dating sites and the male responses tracked an average distribution, some low, a lot mid, some high. The women rated men almost entirely low, some mid and almost none high. It would be interesting to see a combination of that, their rating could be low but still willing to meet.

    I'm more likely to want to meet an average looking dude whose profile is interesting than a mega hot dude. Goals fit & doesn't seem controlling/dangerous are way more important if I'm looking for more than a ONS (which is pretty much always, even if there is zero romance).

    Also mega hot dudes don't exactly have the best reputation/representation right now, so I think the value return for that is lower.

    I think the issue with that data is that overall, what women find important in a partner changes based upon the woman's social class and economic status. If I'm remembering the same dataset you're talking about, it wasn't set up in a way that controlled for those kinda external factors. Generally speaking, the higher the social class/greater the economic status, the more likely a woman is going to rate physical attractiveness as important for the relationship, and conversely the lower the status, the more likely economic factors come into play.

    It could work. My ChatGPT knows a lot about my lifestyle and personality by this point. I think it could do a fairly good job at filtering potential dates so that only people likely to be compatible matched up.

    Chatgpt can't tell me what commercial description corresponds to a quad technical model and you seriously think it has a chance to find the love of your life...jesus christ...
