Shocking, shocking news

Women choose wealthy partners, men choose sexy ones. - one wonders what the conflation between "wealthy" and "good at something" is in that study.
Also Kissing means more to women than men - apparently women use kissing to assess the person they're kissing. Which strikes me as a good reason why so many women end up with appalling partners.

never been speed dating, but it takes me no more than one good look at someone (in motion) to decide whether I'd be willing to have sex with them - subject to a close up check for smell etc.

it was a stupid way to phrase it (not east cos we have very little idea about neanderthal social behaviour), and cultural influences do have some effect, but there are physically based reasons why males and females might have differently weighted priorities in mate selection, since breeding is more resource-draining on a female.
