Men over 40 value mind over looks, study finds

-

Women should pick a man over 40 as that is when he starts valuing her for her intelligen­ce, according to a study of online dating users in Australia.

Up until age 40, women are more choosy when it comes to how intelligen­t their potential partners are, seeking someone of at least the same level as themselves during their peak fertility years. But men only start putting a potential date’s intelligen­ce before looks once they reach 40, claimed a Queensland University study of 41,936 members of dating sites such as Tinder. The study was reported in Psychologi­cal Science.
