    IIRC there are studies showing people are more similar in physical attractiveness when they start dating soon after meeting. However, this effect gets weaker the longer they've known each other before dating. So in other words: relationships seem less dependent on looks after knowing each other for 9-12mths first.

    Sometimes science isn't about finding new surprising results but rather confirming theories. For example showing that the correlation between men finding inteligent, high-earning woman off-putting as a partner is very much real. Because once you've proven that those things aren't just anecdotal you can do something about it. Not neccearly sure how we can fix the above issue, (maybe by reinforcing for girls that it is unproblematic for them to have the same high archiving goals as men; and reinforcing for boys that they shouldn't force themselves into the roll of "provider"). But the important part is, once science has proven, that an issue is real, then poletics/schools/companies can ask for the funding to fix an issue.

    If men aren't expected to play the role of provider then why do high earning women seem to favor men who earn as much or more? Realistically women that are high earners should probably not care what the man earns because they already have enough financial power that it shouldn't matter. Yet I do see a lot of articles about how successful women can't find enough economically attractive men. If women have changed and now want to play the role of breadwinners why do they not seem to be looking for a man to play the role of house husband? Just curious is all.

What they found is that a woman having a higher income didn't make her less likely to prefer that her man make more than her. Which I think disproves the claim woman make that the only reason that women ever cared about a man's money is because they historically had to often financially rely on men to survive. If that truly was the only reason, then that study would have found that as women's incomes increased, the likelihood of them preferring their man make more than them would decrease.

I recommend you read Silvia Federici's "Caliban and the Witch" where she spent 7 years studing history to trace exactly when and why women started to depend financially on men, tho long story short it all comes down to primitive accumulation (the genesis of capitalism) and it wasn't natural at all, it was through the witch hunting.

    Something I have noticed in these studies is that if they ask, "Who gets a first date after speed dating?" is similar to "Who gets a second date?" is similar to "Who looks good in a picture?" but is very DIFFERENT from "Who is still happy after 10 years of marriage?" It is encouraging to think that a good marriage still requires something less shallow (though exactly what makes a good marriage eludes science) though perhaps still discouraging to think people are chasing the wrong thing.

    Scientists try their best to avoid multiple variables in their research because it's really hard to determine if one thing if effecting the outcome over another so yes they tend to focus on the "shallow" nature of things because it's easier to come up with an accurate result. But I also agree that we should learn what makes a marriage last and I think those sorta things are best found from professionals who work with married couples, couple therapists, divorce lawyers, wedding planners even baby sitters and house cleaners because even though you can argue their findings are not scientifically accurate, it can at least show a trend.

    Dr. John Gottman and his institute has actually studied what factors make marriages last. Granted, he does financially benefit from his research because he wrote a book on it and has marriage counseling services. However, his results showed that friendship is the foundation for a strong relationship/lasting marriage as well as continuing to “date” your partner and being open to their communication and influence. Which… aligns with what a lot of people think so I’m rather inclined to believe his research.

    Be very careful about assuming what’s obvious, because sometimes different findings using the same variables can also be viewed as obvious. One of these findings was not obvious: that women have a much stronger preference for mates of their race than men do. Actually, the finding about women making more than men leading to less stable marriages isn’t necessarily obvious either, particularly to younger people who I would think would be more likely to deny such sexism.

    Eh, maybe. It's certainly the least obvious finding. It was ready obvious to me that women would be more likely to date men of the same race relative to men's preferences because if men care more about appearance and financial security is not something they look for in a mate, then that really casts a wide net. And if women care about financial security in a mate, then they probably also also care about safety in general, and a man of her own race feels safer than a man of a different race.

    ​@@Anotherguy1stwell there are two ways, as far as I can tell, why this is the case: 1. Women objectify men for money, and thus they divorce lower-earning male partners because they want a man who makes more money. 2. Women who make more money have less financial need to put up with a shitty male partner because he can't leverage financial dependence on her as a way to control her and make her put up with him being a shitty partner. If I had to take a guess, I would guess that it is a combo of these two possible reasons that causes this phenomenon to happen, with some cases the women divorced her husband because she objectified him for money, and some cases he was a shitty husband and she divorced him because she could afford to. I am not gonna pretend to know what the ratio is of which scenario happens more often, but I am fairly certain it is not as simple as both men and women want it to be. Men want to believe that women objectify men for money, and women want to believe that men are mostly shitty husbands and higher-earning women have an easier time escaping a bad marriage.

Now, I am a man and I am fully aware of the shitty things some men do as well as problematic trends amongst men. But too often people give women the benefit of the doubt when they absolutely do not deserve it.

    Debatable. Women are far more likely to have been with a man of another race than men are to have been with a woman of another race. There are also racial differences, black women are highly race selective, white women much less so, and some 40% of Asian women prefer white men.

    Thanks for this! ^_^ Hopefully, we can get science journalists to reference more meta-analyses and integrated data analyses that can shed a more robust perspective on results across multiple studies, as well as those using more innovative approaches (e.g., multigroup SEM between men and women to test for differences in the structure of and relationship between factors of attractor, or Mixture Modeling to parse out potential subgroups of preferences within men and women rather than treating those groups as monolithic).

    Yes, we are and if we understand our basic instincts and do our best to control them, we can be better.

But women especially have been lied to for so long, they let their instincts of hypergamy, briffault's law and self preservation take center stage.

    So if I heard correct, they said men are wary of a partner with more education/career ambition and when women do earn more the likelihood of divorce is higher (which according to many other studies is both generally initiated more by women and especially more initiated by women who start earning more than the husband). In other words, men who want L/T have every reason to avoid women set on out-earning them (and that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with whether or not he wants her to succeed in general). (This isn't a value judgment. Just lining up the facts.)

  • @micaso1

    When women earn more, the WOMAN is twice as likely to initiate the divorce, not the man. I don't know any man that would be threatened by their partner earning more, on the contrary. And this is proved by research too. Maybe some very traditional guys will think this way, but it's the minority. When it happened to me I was exhilarated she could finally start putting more into the relationship, but of course, she didn't like it when she finally had to pay rent.

What is the difference between the men that don't feel like that as often (or at all) vs those that do? What are the perceived reason by both sides? What does the data says? What does the trend line looks like? Is there women who are more ambitious/intelligent than men that don't cause the same reaction? Or at least not with the same intensity? What do they have different from the ones that elicit such reactions more strongly/frequently? So on and so forth.

    It has to do with the divorce rate statement. It is the woman that instigates those divorces especially when she is the more ambitious and/or intelligent, ( something like 80% of all divorces,I don't have the numbers in front of me, are started by the woman, not only the more ambitious and/or intelligent ones ).

    It is my personal opinion that most researches are over-marketed or over-sold; and if they were accurately published with the context of the studies upfront (instead of click-bait titles/catchy headlines) it wouldn't have amounted to much. Many of the important info (e.g., demographics of the research or tests, and controls in place) are in the fine prints or later part of the papers, if they were included - which are easily skipped or missed out. I'll be the first to admit, for most research paper, it's really hard for me to fully understand the writing in the first place, but when I see some sites cited their reference, I saw only the "juicy" parts got mentioned without much context that the research paper had provided.
