PSYCHOLOGY TODAY - July 28 - Past studies have indicated that while brains boost men's attractiveness, they can be detrimental to a woman's allure. However, a new study indicates that on Tinder, men are not deterred by a woman's intelligence. Two researchers from Belgium conducted an experiment on Tinder. They created 24 profiles and randomly assigned each to one of four different education/pay levels. Based on 3,600 swipes, the researchers replicated past findings that women prefer more educated men. However, they failed to replicate the findings that men reject more educated women. Interestingly, they also did not replicate prior findings that people partner with those with a similar education level.
