Relationship Between Perceived Sexual Attractiveness and Socioeconomic Status
The evolutionary psychologists have found a significant relationship between perceived sexual attractiveness in the context of long-term mating and socioeconomic status. This correlation between perceived mate attractiveness and socioeconomic status is strong (0.6) for women perceiving men, surpassing the correlation between general cognitive ability and grades. Women tend to preferentially mate across hierarchies and up, while men tend to mate across hierarchies and down. This trend is consistent cross-culturally, with Scandinavian countries showing only a slight amelioration.
