    On Tinder, only women have a preference for highly educated partners. but men on Tinder are not intimidated by highly educated women. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0272775719301104 …pic.twitter.com/gfl5NH8Opx

        So if women's preferences drives men to compete harder in educational aspect, and men's don't, does that mean that men sought and wielded power historically due to women?? Women invented the "evil" Patriarchy??pic.twitter.com/6uQuXb7Pvh

        However you look at it, the female of the human species excels at setting borderline ridiculous standards. It's like a deep-rooted psychological compulsion that is unique to their gender. Somehow men always find ways to meet those standards

        It's the hunter/gather syndrome that pervades most of the animal kingdom too. Females look for the provision of resources to secure a successful breeding outcome.

        men swipe yes on everything to up their odds, of course education isn't associated 🤷‍♀️

        This is valuable because, honestly, if there's ONE field where stated preferences are unreliable...it's romance.

        There are other similar studies that show that social status and wealth matter to women when it comes to attraction, but for some reason people still vehemently deny it. I don't get it. How are we supposed to reach equality if we can't even have discussions on these issues?

        Hard to admit that biology drives attraction to wealth (security for offspring). Easier to admit male attraction to physical attributes (mothering potential) apparently???

        Men on tinder are trying to f##k. Of course they don’t care if a woman is educated. Lol!
