Other differences between the sexes emerged. "
Women care quite a bit more about the height of their partners than vice-versa," Bruch says. In pairings where men were about 17 centimeters (or about 6 inches) taller than the woman, the woman was about 10 times more likely to browse the guy’s profile, whereas the man was about three times more likely to browse hers. "
That men care about height at all is, we suspect, a function of their realizing they may get rejected if they aren't quite a bit taller than their potential mates," she adds.
But when it came to body weight, men were less likely to browse the profile of a woman who was heavy-set, whereas women showed little aversion to—with some showing even more interest in—heavier-set men. These patterns also generally held for the second step, messaging, but with smaller effects. People were harshest at the browsing stage.
The results convince Ken-Hou Lin, a sociologist at the University of Texas, Austin, who also studies online dating. "
The science is absolutely solid." He suspects that deal breakers are more important at the early stage of mate selection when people are winnowing down a pool of candidates. "I expect positive selection to kick in at a later stage of the search," he says. Lin hopes that other dating sites will release similar data, because website design could play a bit part in how people make decisions. For example, says Lin, "Tinder doesn't allow users to search, and emphasizes the photos much more than [personal] attributes, which might reduce the deal breaker effects." Then again, perhaps that simply shifts the deal breakers to a person's appearance instead."
