Description:

How do men and women assess their value as a mating partner? We hypothesize that men and women possess sex-specific psychologies of mate value self-assessment which evolved as solutions to specific sets of adaptive problems faced by our ancestors. Research will focus on examining the information men and women use to evaluate themselves as potential long-term and short-term mates.
