The Mating Game:

Sebastian Jensen:

"Generally, men value emotional stability, attractiveness, shared political beliefs, youth, and a relatively low number of sexual partners. Women value similar things in partners, but place a greater weight on social status and a smaller weight on attractiveness, youth (if at all), and number sexual partners."

"If somebody tries hard to win in a game they percieve as fair or easy to win, and fail, they are probably going to feel worse about it than if they saw the game as hard to win. This discontent from losing in the dating market could result in a perception that 'the game' is harder to win anyway, so I believe suppressing this information is not helpful."

Based on current evidence, people in the modern day are higher in the following traits compared to previous generations:

Psychopathology

Depression (particularly within women)

Suicide (specifically within the young)

BMI (particularly within women)

Older (I don’t think I need a citation for this)

Narcissism

Left wing (in absolute terms)

Quantity of sexual partners

Income (particularly women)

Educational attainment
