There is a new study that was published about the preferences of the modern day single. They state that “the results suggest that modern-day singles, like generations of their ancestors, are driven by biology with men seeking the best specimens to procreate with, and women seeking the best long-term partners.”
How much did they spend on this study? As a modern single person I could have told them this a long time ago, men like beautiful woman and women like men who will be protective and a provider. Pretty simple stuff here.
The funniest thing that I read was the application of a pre-speed dating questionnaire, where most people said that they were looking for a mirror image of themselves. Someone that they could connect with. BS, I have read Malcolm Gladwells position on speed dating and it ties into this revelation quite nicely. No matter what you respond to in the pre-dating questions, the reality is quite different.
“There’s this disparity between what people say they want in a mate and what they end up choosing” but then again, we know this already.
I prefer speed dating to online dating, less BS and good or bad, you get to make those little snap judgments in the Blink of an eye. In my opinion speed dating is the most honest way meet people, other than a chance encounter.
