| Abstract: | Abstract Research has often cited physical attractiveness as a desired value in mate selection but has neglected a systematic assessment of its influence on actual dating outcomes. The present paper explores the effect of physical attractiveness on the dating outcomes of 100 female video daters. A logistic regression analysis finds that a one unit change in ectomorphic body type increases the odds of a female finding a partner by 13.6 percent. Physical attractiveness overshadowed all other desired mating values in predicting success at finding a mate. |
