The article talks about "mating success", which I'm not really sure correlates with marriage necessarily. Calling Tinder a marriage market is quite a stretch as well. Summary seems to be "physical attractiveness leads to more sex", which I imagine surprises absolutely no one.
- kiba 5y agoWe probably have more success in finding partners in the friendships we cultivated.
- jhallenworld 5y agoI think this is right- I know men who have no trouble picking up women (they are "jacked"), but can't keep them due to other personality issues (they are too controlling).
- gunshai 5y agoI'd assume there is a loose correlation changing in age. My assumption is having a long term partner with out having sexual intimacy is fairly uncommon, understanding sexual compatability for people looking for a long term partner is a probably high on the criteria to sort by. IE hard to understand compatibility with out the deed. That said I agree the perception is that Tinder isn't socially known as the place to find a long term partner. Call me old fashioned, but the ability to approach people in the real world about your interests in a socially acceptable manner may have less potential surface area but is probably a higher success rate for longer term relationships.
