Online Dating Preferences for Education and Attractiveness

The study on online dating preferences for education and attractiveness revealed that both men and women prefer attractive over unattractive profiles. High educated men prefer low educated over high educated profiles, while high educated women prefer high educated over low educated profiles. Unattractive low educated men and unattractive high educated women are more likely to stay single. The rule for men in online dating appears to be to be attractive and educated, while for women, it's the opposite - stay out of school and be very hot. Women tend to prefer men with a slightly higher status than theirs, and having a degree still serves as a robust status signal in society. However, there may be negative stereotypes associated with more educated women. It's important to note that both men and women with a higher level of education are much less likely to experience divorce or relationship problems, and have higher relationship satisfaction.
