A team of researchers, led by Stephen Whyte from the Queensland University of Technology, surveyed Australians between 18 and 65 who used dating sites, asking how important three factors are in a potential partner: aesthetics, resources and personality. For men both young and old, it was all about looks, baby. Or at least, men of all ages deemed aesthetic appeal highly important, though older men did at least regard personality more highly than their younger counterparts. Our results indicate distinct variations within sex at key life stages which is consistent with theories of selection pressure.
