Science in Brief
What do the beautiful people really want in a mate? A survey of 1,900 adults in 21 cities suggests that women want someone who makes a comfortable income and men want … the same thing.
UCLA sociologist Saskia Karen Subramanian asked the singles if they thought they were physically attractive and had them rank the importance they placed on education, beauty, income and other characteristics in a potential partner.
The survey, released this week at the American Psychological Assn. meeting in Chicago, showed that people who thought themselves good-looking generally valued economic clout more than plainer folks did.
