Episode 249: When are men and women most attractive?
Summary
In this episode, I’ll be unpacking some of the results of the peer-reviewed research described in the article, ”Aspirational pursuit of mates in online dating markets” (link below). After analyzing the private, anonymous behavior of hundreds of thousands of heterosexual men and women on a popular dating app across four independent metropolitan areas, the researchers discovered a number of surprising (but consistent) findings. Today I’ll be talking about one of them: desirability as a function of age. Apparently, women were most desirable to men at 18 years-old, and men were most desirable to women at 50 years-old. It turns out that men like younger women in large part because women like older men.
