A study by Parker & Burkley (2009) where female and male participants who were single or in a relationship viewed information about an opposite-sex other and indicated their interest in pursuing this target. Half of the participants were told that the target was single and half read that the target was currently in a relationship. The study authors found: | |||
* 90% of single women indicated interest in an already attached male vs 59% who indicated interest in the same male who was stated to be single. | |||
* There was no significant effect for men viewing pictures of women. | |||
A further study by Eva & Wood (2006) that examined the mate preferences of young female college students (n=38, average age of participants 20.8 yrs) where the female participants where shown 10 pictures of males, with them being separated into two groups, one group told the each of the individual displayed males were single and another told they were married. The participants were told to rate the men on a 7 point scale on the following traits:(a) how well they anticipated being able to work with the man, (b) how attractive they found him, (c) how interested they would be in being friends with the man, and (d) how interested they would be in a romantic relationship with the man. | |||
They found: | |||
* The mean attractiveness rating assigned to the 10 male images was greater when the males were labelled as being married (3.65) vs single (2.96) | |||
* Marital status had a similar, but less dramatic, effect on participants' interest in friendship, married men being rated as being of more interest (mean 4.86) relative to single men (mean 4.54). | |||
* There was no effect on anticipated ability to work with the men. | |||

Thus the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_effect Matthew Principle] ("For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance. But whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath" [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+13&version=KJ21 Matthew 13.12 KJ21]) clearly applies to the realm of human sexual relationships. | |||
