Researchers from the Michigan State University Department of Psychology and University of Maryland performed four experiments (total N = 2,679) evaluating how and why people 'swipe right' (try to match) to other daters online. Half of their experiment focused on college students, while the other half focused on middle-aged adults, averaging 35 years old. | Researchers from the Michigan State University Department of Psychology and University of Maryland performed four experiments (total N = 2,679) evaluating how and why people 'swipe right' (try to match) to other daters online.

Social scientist [[Menelaos Apostolou]] suggested that the contemporary rise in [[inceldom]] and [[relationship]] instability may be caused by an [[evolutionary mismatch]]. An evolutionary mismatch means that the current conditions mismatch those in which humans evolved in, disturbing natural human behavior, including mating behavior. In particular, Apostolou looked at historical data on marriage practices and found that the majority of societies studied had [[arranged marriage]] as their dominant mating practice. Free mate choice did exist (especially in the second marriage), but it was less common. These statistics even hold true for primitive societies and [[life history|fast-life history strategists]]. | Social scientist [[Menelaos Apostolou]] suggested that the contemporary rise in [[inceldom]] and [[relationship]] instability may be caused by an [[evolutionary mismatch]].
