People will say that they are looking for compatibility and intelligence in a partner but what really brings two people together is sexual attraction.
And is this really a surprise?
Isn’t this the ultimate goal of anyone searching for love? To find an emotionally compatible mate to whom you are attracted.
The problem starts when you eschew all the other qualities and go for looks alone.
“People will readily tell you what they value in a romantic partner,” study researcher Eli Finkel, of Northwestern University, said in a statement. “But study after study shows that those preferences don’t predict whom daters are actually attracted to when they meet flesh-and-blood partners. Now we can get under the hood with this quirky methodology to see what people actually prefer in live-interaction settings.”
