===<span style="font-family:'Linux Libertine, Georgia, Times, serif'; font-size:24px; font-weight: normal;">Women prefer men with high income and high educational status in online dating</span>=== | |||
---- | |||
The dating site OkCupid released data through their blog about the preference of women's dating decisions regarding men's income. In the first figure below, one can see that women were much more likely to message males with higher income, especially for men older than 22 years. | |||
Similar tendencies were found in a Chinese online dating website: Ong and Wang (2015) found that women with high income more often visited male profiles with even higher income and that such preferences do not exist in men. | |||
Another study of the dating platform Tinder by Neyt and collegues (2018) found that women preferentially like men with higher education status than they own, whereas men did not care about women's education status. | |||
